Wii Fit in a car :eek:

You did say Estima and not an Octavia right ? !!

Wii sport I think. That's the Wii fit saying 'hey fatty, it's years since you used this thing you lazy btard'. Estima indeed.

Horrible to drive but fits my kids and 4WD needs. Needs sound deadening.

Only 200 queen heads.

I was a bit dubious about the Chinese brand but it does the trick. Quite heavy though.

Takes about 2 weeks to be delivered.

Yeah, It just the fogs I'm doing (which I only run in fog:cool:). not bothering with the main lights too much hassle...ran HIDs in the primera and I had to remove them as I was blinding half the country!

New oil, oil filter and fuel filter, forgot about the poxy air filter, lol.

It'll be sitting better than the fecking snapped rear spring it's on at the minute anyway!

/edit - thinking about spacers next, 10mm each side on the front, 18-20 on the rear, should have it sitting nicely stanced

So bloody cold out. Four cups of tea and I'l go out and loosen the sump nut, three more cups and I might just change the filter.

I would do a "how to" but I'm fairly sure my hands are gonna fall off me from the cold.

Let the engine run for 5 minutes first.. You would have warm air rising for you to warm your hands while hanging around

Could take one of the cars out of the shed but that means taking out the leaf blower and drying it afterwards... Might just drive out the road and park the car accidentally up on a friends lift, lol.
