She said it smoked a bit at the back, and misfired a few times,whilst 'kangarooing', but she said it seems to be ok'ish now, will it be ok on diesel for a while, hope the turbo's ok! The guys that she works with have put some veggy oil and meths in the tank, to help it along, does this work?

She's even managed to curb 3 of the 4 SP alloys!

If youre trying to wind-up SP on-line, I think you may have suceeded Chris.

Look forward to meeting you Sunday

Yes, obviously a wind up - women take at least 2 trips to ruin wheels on both sides of the car. Since you mentioned 3 wheels methinketh you're on a winder

I own an MR2 aswell as the Tamora and you can run the MR2 on Wiskey if you want. But never drive it in the wet, because its handling in the wet is shit. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Believe me, it is crap in the wet.

I'm glad some of that 'woman's intuition is still on form
