Sorry for being so quite of late, but listening to all you lot building / modifying your cars has got me energized once again. ;D I was planning, during the winter months when the car was off the road, to rip the car apart and undergo a mid life update of sorts. Anyway I have to report that instead of driving the car on this sunny October, well almost November day, I’ve ripped it apart Well some of it at least, so I better pull my finger out if I’m going to make Exeter. Here's to another winter in the garage.

dont trust haynes, trust me Love too 'trust you' Will especially as you've got a copy of the Ford Tech Info, however at the rate you divulge it, I might not get Sonic on the road until next year I'm still Waiting for the Hazard, Indicator & Light Switch pin and wire details you promised ! Nigel
