You sure can.... I'm looking at one right now.
It reads ..... on the offside wingy thingy, it contains that funny looking canister that contains charcoal....hmmm or is that charcoal in colour? Think I have some left over from last summers BBQ......Look under the bonnet....My car doesn't have a hat !!!!! Does it? Was this a factory extra?
Oh sh!t I give up.

All is good in St Ives if you took away all the bleeding road works and traffic lights!
Off to the Classic Car Show a the NEC on Friday which should be a corker of a trip.
So, when did you notice your petrol problem?
Did you go to the TVR meet on Sunday?
Would have gone but I'm off the road. Just had the new windscreen put in and now shes ready for all the other bits to put on that I have waiting to be fitted. Should be back on soon touch wood!
Will have to catch up soon
