It's a miracle - Longers' latest challenge
Discussion
For those of you that don't know me I've dealt with a few challenges in recent years; recovering from a bit of a health worry, riding 100 cycle events, etc.
Those that do know me also know what a complete technical numpty I am. My definition of DIY? Don't Involve Yourself!
I am therefore delighted and surprised in equal measure that this evening I managed to conquer another challenge - to change the battery on my S. It went without incident and only took a few minutes. My late mate brought me a socket set when I got my first S in 1997 (partly as a joke about TVRs and partly about my ineptitude) and tonight was the first time I actually got to use it
Obviously this news is nothing to most of you in this forum but to me it's massive. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead and leave the sockets alone for another 18 years
Tim, you can now have an extra 10 mins in bed tomorrow, there's no need to rush to get here to help me before the Rumble

Don't worry Mike, yes I have started it, which is why I am so please with myself - fitted and working!

...or maybe changing the windscreen washer fluid
Don't joke Andy. Not long after getting the car that needed topping up and I couldn't find the bottle... because L.I.am had changed it to a rubber bag!Edited by Longers on Saturday 11th April 07:11

as proof.
PS Ian, my friend completed his 'Challenge' I mentioned. Amazed and proud in equal measures.
Sorry David, I didn't get any photos so you'll just have to imagine how I'd look with a socket set in my hands (not easy for you I know!).PS Ian, my friend completed his 'Challenge' I mentioned. Amazed and proud in equal measures.
Well done to your friend, that is a real achievement. I hope he soon feels normal again after his psychiatric treatment! Sounds like he got on better than me at the weekend... After 6hrs riding I was on the 102nd mile of a 104 mile cycle event and a rear spoke snapped resulting in a buckled wheel and a DNF
