Rejoiced in the fact that yesterday's superglue fix appears to have finally solved the incredibly annoying problem of the Cappuccino's rattly wooden steering wheel rim.

...Then discovered that the Riva is peeing fuel out of the side of the carb instead of squirting it down the carb barrel when you pump the accelerator pedal.

...Well, at least that would explain the petrol smell and poor economy.

Oddly, the interior lights decided to start working today though...They've never worked before since I got the car about a year and a half ago!

Over the weekend, I also repaired the frame work on the rear door of the Land Rover. The bottom of the door frame was almost a pile of rust!

Now replaced with some fresh metal work. Etch primed, waxoyled and painted.

Sort of..... Most people upto 200mb. then upto 1.9gb.
There really isnt anypoint in quotas, as certain people will shout and what more space so we remove the limit.He who shouts loudest wins!
The largest is 3.7gb! We done have an email archiving program to help maintain some sort of control.

Thats what we say. Its not a filing system!
and then there are the people who delete an email, only to have it in there deleted items and then organise them into some kind of folder order, just in case they need it!!!

Would you keep all the rubbish you bin just in case???? NO!
