Sorry Luis, I can't help but love the email addy:-)

At the risk of getting flamed, I've always resisted giving women a driving licence.

John,
Luis doesn't have any choice, it's that or put the car on bricks for a year :-(

Have you tried pusing the cap firmly towards the car, the bung is just a rubber stop.
Will Munns

Luis, does your wife still fit behind the wheel and/or did you solve the chafing seat belt problem

Will, in the interests of research I went to my car and tried to puse the cap, even getting a passing young lady to puse with me, but to no avail. Things must be different in Cambridgeshire :-) BTW trust you, Becky and midget are all OK and getting nearer to an April Luton apprearance.

I play the dyslexic card again (damn you sending me off to dictionary.com twice in 5 minutes, and the second time the word didn't even exist, not even a humerous alternative given)

<FX: places trump card back into pocket>

Try pusHing

The midget is getting better, I have just fabbed a new heater box as I am waiting for brake parts, but unfortunatly my brother selfleshly wants his MIG welder back, so I'm going to heve to get on with it.

Hey John
The wife is learning to live with the belt for now
and i only have 10 months left on my ban :(
Funny thing is the magistrate that gave me the ban came to see me about ordering some wheels for his new TF you can bet i will put a slightly higher mark up on his set.
Will i will give the cap more attention this afternoon thanks
