(First posted on MLR forum in September 2013) It’s been a while, I’ve been busy getting married and house hunting but I’ve still found time to play with the Evo I’ve done various things and I’ll slowly catch up with pictures just in case anyone’s interested but mainly it’s a nice diary for myself and […]
It’s windy round here and big wooden doors flailing around in the wind next to the precious cars is not good! So I had drilled a couple of holes in the concrete drive to stick the doors drop bolts in when I open them and keep them from swinging into things. The problem with a […]
(First posted on MLR forum in March 2013) A mate and I made a short film over xmas to kill the boredom. It took ages to film and edit but we’re really happy with the result for our first attempt. A few snaps of us filming it
