Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

We do have fault lines, just not ones at the edge of a tetonic plate like the atlantic etc.
Hence why we only have small scale earthquakes.

no worries, always liked a bit of geography, did geography a-level and fancied doing a degree in it but ended up in engineering!

I was woken by the bed rocking. I thought the wife was having fun on her own. Then the windows started to rattle.

I had to get up at 1:30am and go out to the barn to check that the various jumps leads were still connected and hadn't sprung off causing a short!

Well it's really timber frame with a brick cladding. Vwery popular in the UK these days as they are really cheap and quick to put up, but look like a proper brick house.

IMO, they're all shit, and the quicker I get out of this one the better.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
