    Perfectly fine, thanks for asking. Which is both frustrating and relieving at the same time.

    That's great to hear :)

    You'll have to pass the time for now by sitting in the drivers seat and making brum brum noises :P

    I always used to sit up there as a child whenever I was in Dublin and pretend I was driving it. Was full sure it was going to tip over on many occasions :o

    So the Z is gone for a gearbox refurb, hopefully will be done and back on the road shortly!

    In other news, the local breakers yard didn't have the door for the feshty after saying on the phone that they did. Anyone know of a 4 door mk4 fiesta being broken anywhere? I need the drivers door+mirror+window regulator and must be manual window and mirror.

    Keep an eye out for the BMW 3series on jacks on the NCR near ford dealer. Think someone robbed all four wheels overnight. They left the jack though....

    Yep All four wheels gone..

    Pulled in on the way home to grab a few very quick pics.
    The cars at an awful angle balancing on a standard V type scissor jack.

    :eek:

    Can you get some kind of locks or something to prevent that from happening?

    I'd have thought the lock nuts would put a stop to that, they probably have some generic type one though.

    Well you can get lock nuts, most cars come with them but a dash of Uhu render them pointless.
