Why do people think they can write whatever they want online?
Freedom of speech n all that, but you wouldn't walk up to someone in the street & tell 'em their wife's ugly

We do up here in Yorkshireland

Dunno if this works, but here go's, you almost described my car

It's a real s**tter to drive, but if i was bothered about that i wouldn't have ridden hardtail chops for over twenty years

Andy has more than enough projects already thank you!
I'd love to fit Jaz bucket seats to Taz's Charger, Charlie, but I'm not allowed. Something about it being her car, not mine.  Tongue  There was a pair at the NSRA swapmeet back in the Spring for 40 quid. Should've just bought them & bolted them into her rolling shell & waited for her to notice.  Grin
Considering we cut my 1953 Ford in half vertically and horizontally, then threw most of it away, I'm not really in a position to comment on preserving classics!

Front screen has to be 80% clear, and i think the sides are 65% but i'm not wholly certain,, when i went to court, i took loads of paperwork with me regarding Florida tint laws cos that's where the car came from, the Magistrate looked at my homework and threw the case out of court,,,, however, he did rape me for doing 58 in a 30...
Some ya win, some ya need a condom for

Oh yeah, the plod don't go by colour chips, they have a device which is like two bricks and it measures light resistance between the glass and the 'bricks'

Sod em anyway, my gasser's got deep yellow tints
