Andy Flexney Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If you need music you have the wrong exhaust or one of those tin box thingiesNot wise to drink and driveRainx does not work on small screens so only suitable for TR7s and those tin box thingies Eating too much can make you tired and lethargic.

AndyF You ain't a newbie ya great wet lettuce! Music's for traffic when my V8s not on song. Rainx works on all screens! Never drink and drive, but always be prepared with a case of beer for when you drink the taps dry. Not eating enough can make you tired and lethargic. Comfy underwear. Good call! Sun screen for all. Might get a burned forearm. Wouldn't want that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy66 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Fill your tank ! Make sure no leaks ! Some folks don't brim their tank very often, and then find in Europe you lose a gallon the first bend you encounter after fill up ! Ask me how I know ! Sorted nowadays by putting a 'loop' in my tanks breather hose ! Also, any cards you plan to use to pay for fuel, make sure you have remembered the correct PIN number if it's a seldom used cars !

HNJ1N Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Only take the spare parts that you can fit yourself,no point taking a boot load of stuff and not having a clue how to fit it.Make sure the spare is fit for purpose before leaving and have a tin of that inflator aerosol for punctures if not taking a spare,Cheers, Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
