Nanglebadger Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 vaguely yes! i was standing in your garage yesterday morning thinking to myself..."where the hell is my bumper, has some fucker stolen my TTE splitter!?!?!" hahahahai cant believe i couldnt remember you headin to bed...when actually i had gone downstairs with you to use the loo only to be scared half to death by Lib walking out of the kitchen!! i FORGOT that until she jogged my memory!! good lord, there must have been something in that pasty supper, either that or Miller SERIOUSLY doesnt agree with me!on a positive, non-vomit-inducing note - UKSC is NOT ready for StarBadger77, quite simply, the greatest guitar duo EVAR!! had i NOT been plastered it would have been even better and my noodling soloing rubbish may ACTUALLY have been coherent!!!! not to worry, next time we'll rock the Costa til the boats sink in the harbour! UKSC aint ready! TGTT aint ready! Portavogie aint ready, Ulster aint ready.....THE WORLD AINT READY!!! X-Factor here we come!!!!! Twin-guitar aural pleasure!Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 having spoken with Mr Star77 today I can update that next on the "To Do" list is sorting the fuel pump and removing the N/a exhaust to hang the HKS boyo.All being well i'll be heading to the Costa on Saturday morning for a good day of FTE excitement.Gave the HKS back box a decent scrub with Autosol today, for £100 i can not fault it at all! Mark then decided that the rust on the pipe section offended his presence here on Earth and set about expelling said rust from our garage! a thick wire brush and a hammer later and it was hung outside and treated to some VHT paint and some Plasticoat RustNot to try to preserve her for a few years yet, no sense letting her crumble to dust just because she was a bargain! (before anyone gets confused, i will say again, the PIPE section on the back of the box got a protective coating, NOT the backbox itself!).Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
