    The stuff on howstuffworks.com is a great start imo. Spent ages on there a few years ago!

    Nice summary of articles here:

    http://auto.howstuffworks.com/car.htm

    I'm a bit of a fossil, and like books/manuals, but I'll definitely have a look there.

    I learned what a big end was due to howstuffworks and amused my mechanic with my correlation of it :)

    Back now after a tough weekend in derry, Im fooked;)
    Had some great fun on the drive up, played follow the leader with a very well driven Guilietta (the driver, she was tidy too):D
    I also passed a 520d that really didnt want to be passed;)

    On the way back down I ended up stopped about 7 feet infront of a parked car on the hard shoulder on the wrong side of the road:eek: after the silver merc I was passing decided to pass the car in front aswell, nordy wanker! Good thing I had spare jocks with me, the look on the faces of the auld pair in the parked car was priceless:P

    As I'm sure most here know Im not a big Bmw fan, but after seeing a couple of 6's over the weekend, they are really starting to grow on me! Hmmm maybe an idea for when the alfa explodes:cool:

    Picked up 3 of these today in B&Q for a total of €9.80. (3 for 2).

    Pretty good value considering they are 6euro + shipping here.

    Got two offers to buy my car in the last 24 hours from locals I never met but see the car all the time. And a third woman behind the till in my local Centra started babbling away to me how much her husband loves my car, never seen the woman before in my life! Nice all the same.

    Happy Christmas all!

    Kids are still awake in bed waiting for Santa. Santa is drinking a nice torres red wine and if the kids don't sleep soon, he could pass by/out.

    Happy Christmas all
