Why is it?

That no matter how you plan for a long weekend of working on the car, you always end up stuck without a certain tool/part etc. that you desperately need????

Just hope I've got all my bases covered for the bank-holiday :)

Is there any reason the photo's on your site are thumbnails only now??

[stig]

Yup, other than the fact that other sites ripped them off, I was going to make them all available on CD-Rom once the build was finished.

Needless to say, you'd have to pay for it, but building the site takes a lot of work and I got fed up having my ideas nicked first time round with the GTR

That said, I think I'm getting soft in my old age as I was thinking of reinstating all the links the other day, so you can see it all hi-res.

When I get a spare day or three that is

Hmm..
If you talking about people hyperlinking to your photo's and consuming bandwidth, you can put code on the webserver to prevent this. Essentially (/techymode) you set the web server to check the referer on images, if its not your own site - it blocks it.
Checking through the logs,I get a fair amount of that on my site, but not enough to put that code on yet.

My mate does it on his site, as he was suffering badly from it:

clicking on this will fail:

But clicking on it via the site works.

Does that mean I can nick bits from your car then Brian? Very generous of you!

[Crazy of Cookham]

With state of our local roads most bits can be picked up on the road from Marlow to Cookham. Just put my wiper motor back on before you could get your hands on it.

Well, those were prophetic words. This weekend it was seat runners that were missing

My fault for forgetting to order them
