Just went to respray my now-tidy mirrors only to find one of them had fallen over in the night and scratched - d'oh! So out comes the paint again... Rolling Eyes

So today: lacquer wing mirrors, rocker cover, trip to euro car parts if there's time, fit CD changer, steal some fuel from somewhere, off to meet ash, then back to bristol again!

Is that related to the previous post? Rolling Eyes

How's the injury anyway, do you still have to keep it strapped up? Must be bloody annoying

nah, i took the brace thing off last weekend, about 2 weeks before i was supposed to but it was annoying me.

Currently using the arm more or less as normal, apart from much reduced mobility at the shoulder and I don't put much force on it.

I was at the football through in Paisley (don't tell chris though as I didn't go to see him Wink). Don't know what I'm going to be upto later, probably fannying about on the 16v, or might go to the golf range.
