I use Parts in Motion for more or less all my bits these days - unless I need something urgently. Always had great service from them!

Good to know.  :y

Well when I passed my test when I was 17 my Dad had a 1300 Marina pick up finished in British Racing Green, and he never went much above 40mph.  ::)

It 'might' have gone a bit faster when I drove it though.  :-X   Probably did it the world of good!  ;D

One thing Dad always drummed into me was let the car warm up before giving it large, and give it 2 or 3 miles of normal driving before switching it off.  It's something that's stuck with me :y
