Plugs and Leads
Hangover aside, I set about some routine maitenance today on my baby.
Which just made me realise.. I don't think I've named her yet.
I'm no stranger to the normal routines required to keep cars on the go (despite my horrid luck with cars - as my father has explained to me.. It's all in the genes aparently). I however have never had a 304 to play with before. Could it be possible to put things like the dizzy in a more obnoxious place? Or perhaps put the ABS controller right infront of a spark plug? Better yet, No.7 should be placed where you can't use a small extension on your ratchet spanner, but by having no extension all you achieve is removing skin from your hands.
Now for the rest of the weekend.

you're going to hate this, but you have to call her 'Calooh'. As I imagine that this piece of literary allusion will not resonate with you, I suggest you google (tm) 'Jaberwocky' and read it. Then all will become clear, after which you can call the car whatvere you want. Just trying to be helpful...
Tomic,
Hmmm, 1997 Calais by the sound of it. Had the same problems. Name . . . ?
I'm thinkin' 'Claude'. Has a nice sturdy yet effficient ring to it don't you think? And with just a hint of 'frog' to homage the brand.

Yay my first non friend/family comment.
Yep '97 S2 Calais. Which so far has only been referred to as 'the tank' or 'the commode'.
It has to be a girls name..
Investigate said jaberwocky now...
I am not calling my car 'Callooh' father. And what the freakin bejesus made you remember that?
it was obvious. well it was obvious to me.
A 97 Calais, I'd call it Dieppe. You'll be deep in it soon!
