Thank Robo and Steve. I tried a bit of kero on a wheel this evening and it did come off fairly easily. Will have to take it easy with the tar on the pain as to not scratch it.

Cheers.

Gary.

Another vote for mineral turps very gently wiped over the affected areas. Just make sure that you give it a good wash after doing this with warm soapy water, so the turps is washed away off the paint.

Sorry I missed sunday (probably good by the sounds of the gunk). I hadn't read my home email until sunday afternoon and saw the correspondence between all regarding that morning.

I'm quite confident that the next MINI will be better in many ways than the current ones. However I will never be another BMW guinea pig again It's just not worth it.

Well If I'm going to have a Bum Burner I think dinner and a show is the least you can do Steve

Having said that ... Bec & I are up for it (Pizza at West End that is)

Cool!! Bring on the BB. If you both go there then I can see some hiroshima style dutch ovens later If you hear a knock on the door it's probably Richard Butler...

(Sorry... it's Crass Steve tonight..)

Well despite Ashley's bum burner we had a good night. Interestingly, PIR473 drove up the laneway and parked and didn't come and say hello

I've got no idea what any of you are talking about!
Too much slang and/or euphamisms

I saw one mini last night, but it wasn't on boundary st - you guys have to park your cars outside the resturant if you want attention

I was busy car-dancing along to some brazillian psuedo-retro-folk-pop music on my way to capoeira up the aforementioned laneway.
