New drool smiley. :drool:
Try not to slip in the puddle.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

You found a site that doesn't allow hot linking for yours, you should really rest that before posting ;)
I have added a thumb up too.

At last, some further progress...........

It's made it into the showroom to have the refurbished cream and blue leather interior refitted, made a great start today, all the sound proofing is in and the hand made boot carpets are nearly finished.

More to come shortly :thumbs:
