Well, being as he's in the heart of the city, I figured he'd got some
custom commercial type lighting going. Brighter will be better anyway. I
just discovered why my hatch latch doesn't always work on the dormant
daily, there were two good sized bolts AND a 10mm socket rolling around in
there. And that just proves why you should check out rattles, the socket
wasn't mine, but I can always use another, especially a 10mm, they always
seem to go disparu around here. Glad to hear everyone's having productive
days (except Jim...), and Mark? GL with that MkII eh? (Oh, did you want
those Bentley pages for the truck?)
