    Done a bunch while smoking.

    Used to throw lit cigarettes into a 5 gallon pail of old gas to scare off customers that ignored the old " due to insurance reasons, no customers past this point" sign... It was funny

    Your not wrong there, I got the car with the intention of fixing things myself and i love it... Enough to annoy the missus thats for sure.

    First thing i done was the service inc plugs etc - felt like a mechanic afterwards. I think people got sick of hearing about it!

    Fuel filter getting done tonight - wish me luck!

    If you dont take out the fuel relay when you take the hoses off will they spurt for a while and then stop or just keep going? I'v got half a tank of fuel and it aint cheap at the moment - the beast is thirsty enough as it is!
