Ack, there are more bits that you can pull out there.

So is the heart back in or is the patient still on bypass whilst the doctor takes an evening beer or two

That's incredible!! It seems bad to see to begin with, but when you think about it, its only like that in the factory (And the fact that Mikey puts it back together better than in Oxford anyway )

For the money you charge Mike it looks a hell of a job. On the + side no more dash rattles.

Mike,

Would it be cheaper to send to my mom in America? She may be visiting and could bring it with her... What do you think?
