In my search for a replacement wedge there have have been several comments from sellers which have put me off their cars's. Best one so far was "fitted a new raditor last week as the otter switch failed, causing the radiator to burst when the engined boiled big time"

"Hardly uses a drop of oil - in fact I think its still on its orignal oil"

"Despite the extent of the damage, the garage did such a good repair you can hardly see the join"

"These Nissan engines fill the engine bay nicely I think"

"I can tell you that the rollbar does work - you just have to be careful when ungoing the racing harness when you are upside down!!"

I've been out with one such driver. Well over 6K rpm on a standard 350, when you could tell the engine stopped making power 1200 rpm earlier...
