Greetings from Dave's co-driver!

Yeah, it's a tongue-in-cheek homage to priesthood, thats for sure - but hell, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis played an alcoholic ex-racing driver and degenerate gambler in the movie!

Love the Father Ted/furry dice idea! Keep them coming - your sources of inspiration will be rewarded in heaven!!!

Thanks Kin,

New tyres - Defo

brake Pads - Mintex Performace Pads Fitted

Floor Jack ?  Would that not be to heavy?

New plugs - It's a Diesel

Check door seals - Never thought of that, good point.

 

While I'm at it would elara.ie be interested in sponsoring us ?

You can get light weight floor jacks. Better than that piece of dung you get from BMW. I don't have one in my car, then again I don't have a spare wheel.

At the moment all advertising revenue is only going to be industry related. I have been relieved from advertising duties also, I am only allowed to bring in money not spend it.
