I don't know about screws... but you could talk to Ken... I remember one time just after he got his MINI he was having so much fun working on his nuts that he actually stretched them

Unfortunately I had to pay the price for spending last week in Melbourne watching cars go quickly around a bendy track near St Kilda...as such I did a 12hour stint in the office wishing i was out in my MINI.

How did it go with the PT cruisers? Did they manage to keep up this time

...and Bec want's to know what we were hunting for...and who found it

Wow, Stretched Nuts...was that covered by Warranty, or does fiiddling with your Mini's nuts void it?

we ended up hunting for some dead geezer in Toowong cemetery( well he would be wouldn't he?) who didnt even exist in the first place.
Apparently the cemetery caretaker got so confused by people zooming around the place in Minis, asking about someone who had supposed to have karked it, but hadnt really, he is now on stress leave
Funny thing is, we actually found who it was supposed to be, and took a photo, didnt get any points for it, and ended up being runners up to monkey boy thanks to this
Work that lot out !

WE WERE ROBBED !!! bloody one point...not happy Jan

Surely you should get at least one bonus point for being able to find a dead guy that doesn't exist.

Have you a lodged a formal appeal with the club president yet Darrell, it sounds like you have a case there
