That's why I'm deaf Graham, you ever hear me play drums,,,,,,,,not a pleasant sound most the time then all of a sudden it clicks and I'm still,,,,, roppy,, biglaugh

So much respect to you for playing an instrument sir,,,,my sons learning to play the piano, long hard hours at the scales and frustration but he's really getting to hit the ivories well now,
I'd seen a black piano for sale and thought my son would like that,,,
Then stone the crows came on here to find you having the same deep shiny perfect black applied to your dash,,,
I always knew you were a man of distinction laugh

They reckon it's all in the reed with the sax, I'm sure you know, getting it just wet enough to blow deep vibrant notes etc,,,
I played with two sax players errrr careful, mega sound and could stop women dead in their tracks,,,,, hehe
Good luck to you, Stan Getz, now that's a Sax player,,, enough already smile

9 years and 40k miles ago HHC (Hexham) told me that my engine mounts needed changing. Finally got around to swapping them today. Old mounts were fine, a little bit of heat cracking on the top of one but had years of life left in them. A morning waisted, well the new ones look nice if that's any consolation

Keep an eye on them, apparently the new ones aren't the same quality as the originals, so I've heard from a reputable source.

Thanks for the warning, I'm wishing I'd left the old ones on.

Realised why my trailer indicators were not working on left indicate, both working on right indicate.
Rewired it and it works fine.
Trapped a nerve in my back doing it.
Getting old is over-rated in my opinion.
But the alternative is worse......you can't do track days with the lovely TVR crowd if you're dead. clap
