Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Do I come on here giving your trade secrets away? :lol:

Seriously though, could you not take out cash as soon as the cheque clears then instantly hide it somewhere? :oops:

Ferlec electric clutch, second least reliable gadget from the 20th century in the otherwise lovely Renault. Bin the engine and box then buy the Corvair and put its oily bits in the Renault, result! :D
