Just passed my test! (5/10)

Would not worry too much about the sequential injection IT MAKES LITTLE DIFFERENCE. Only SLIGHTLY better fuel consumption at low revs THIS IS REALLY MINIMAL. Be advised EFI tames wild cams into complete tractibility, so do not rule one out. Even fuel econemic. (to a degree) As Nick has said 3D ignition management is completly awesome USE IT.

Yeah scanning is slow, I scan 35mm and 120 roll film negs. You used to be able to get slide copying adaptors for 35mm cameras. ARE THESE AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS ? No idea. Or can you adapt one. Worth looking into though. -
Just commitited thre ultamate sin and dragged myself kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Just bought a 2005 Nissan 350Z 300 bhp track package car. ( lower tax bracket not £660 as later cars are ). Will fit in here well as the brute has LSD,. SIDEWAYS EVERYWHERE Thing is the car has a satin black wrap. no idea of paint condition under it The problem is yes there is a problem the wrap has STUPID UGLY SWIRLEY PATTERN through it Sides only wrapped in this shit. Methinks can I paint over this eyesore garbage with a satin black paint ? A mate sujested using a paint called Plasti coat intended for bumpers and the like. My thinking is If i do it in very light coats I should be okay. Rewrapping the car not an option as now I am skint AGAIN ! and anyway front wings are starting to be a little iffy but likely a couple more years in them. So rewraping is out. Thoughts please ?

John no harm. I nearly bloody died NOT SMOKING OR EVEN COVID RELATED.

Can relate.. Have to admit the two emergency opps kicked the shit out of me. Slowed me down, did not stop me. One day I went to the front of the hospital. Quite a hike. To make a phone call ,no signal in hospital and have a smoke. I got down on my hunkers to tie my boot laces HELL COULD I GET BACK UP AGAIN. ? Could not even move my feet I was stood on the laces. Had to get a stranger to lift me. Went and had a sit down before the massive trek back to my ward. Thankfully I found a smoking spot very near my ward. 4am every morrning outside for a smoke. Nurses usad to ask unconserned once they knew I was capable (Tubes and bottles in tow) Out for some fresh air again Laurence ? I even used the catheter bottle to jam the fire doore ooen before I found an even better spot no fire door

Thanks John

Thanks Nick sence of humor came in handy. I got a bit pessimistc a couple of times but I am generally okay. I mostly just zoned out and let the NHS do their stuff. They were great. My second visit to the table my room was fillled with doctors nursees even cleaners to see me off to surgery. Nice of them. Maybe hopeing the would not see me again HMMMMMM ? I was told my atrtitude played a big partr in getting me through it chemo particularly Funny thing, in work this same attitude was regularly called an ATITUDE PROBLEM. The shitbag is a peremanant fixture unfortuunatly ( Bag for life ) but my friends and the dog are relieved I can no longer fart

i have had a bit of a year of it too. Started off January admited to hospital two weeks uable to pee. Fitted with a catheter and drip fed five hundred antibiotics. The issue could not be found. Even a postrate exam LOVELY 1 Aparently they do not invite you out to dinner first (Not me anyway ) Anyroads dischgarged without issue found tho I was able to pee again FOR A WHILE. A month later I was on the phone with doctor discussing slight stomach issues I had to go in straigt away for an exam. A different Dr examined me. Mr Cochrane I can feel your internals from the outside, Get straight up to A&E Went home rounded up some PJ's and got the bus up. On examinatrion I was asked how I got up there, bus I saId. Doctor exclaimeed YOU GOT THE BUS HERE IN YOUR CONDITION ? I replied yes I am not in pain. eventually they did an ultreasound and CT scan. The CT scan revealed a tumor in my greater bowel. Surgon advised imediate emergency surgery, Next morning sent for endoscope exam ( No dinner invite here either ) The endoscope could not pass thee tumor. Ended up on the big cutting table they assured me this could be done keyhole. ( had serious doubts about that ). Ended up with a 9 iinchy hole in me and two keyhole insisions and a chunk of bowel missing. A couple of days later told colonoscopy was leaking, so its under the knife AGAIN. This time I ended up with a colostomy bag fitted and several tubes and bottles hanging out of me. A bit further down the road seven months ofd chemotherapy, Tumor cancerous. Thankfully chemo. side effects pretty limited bar one bad week. One week in seven months not too bad. Chemo now over sence of taste has returned. Chinesse chicken curry diet over too the only thing I could properly taste.. Had another endoscope exam receently through the stoma this time. As yet not got the all clear But endoscope driver said all lookjing good. Now dealing with type two diabetese on top of this., Insulin dependant too. BYE 2022. Could have done without that shit.
