Re: SchumieFan's - '95 GPX Limited - Car Of The Year
Updated original 'to do' list,
did some minor work today replacing bulbs and took her for a spin around the block a few times... seems to be using a bit too much fuel... might as well ad changing the o² sensor to the list
saving for my ~$700 camskill invoice and should be able to order all the bits i need to get started next week...
oh and almost got the front taken off Tweety this arvo by an indian bloke who didn't stay in his lane when we went round a corner.... gave me a short quick reminder Tweety doesn't have abs :s

Gah, I hate it when people do that. It's like they can't see that the lanes even exist.SchumieFan wrote:oh and almost got the front taken off Tweety this arvo by an indian bloke who didn't stay in his lane when we went round a corner.... gave me a short quick reminder Tweety doesn't have abs :s
