Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

The Cab is looking quite shiny at the minute. Just a few little things to do and it'll be as close to done as its ever going to be.
Cant wait to see it out in the sun with is extra pearl. Its going to be awsome.

I cleaned the roof last night. It very rarely goes out without the roof down but thought it needed it with the british weather. We now have a shiney Blue roof again not a dusty filler grey coloured one.
Autoglym rubber and vinyl cleaner is awsome. Two thumbs up!!!!
