acutally mat is does have a oil leak that gets on the pully and spits it sideways but its a cossie and they do leak oil

ahh ok then I thought you took it off the road cus it went pop

job center = the pits went there monday and fucking hated every second of it. And they only have shit jobs there anyway

And check this Webdesigner and Graphic Designer, Ł5 per hour got more than that working for tesco

Yeah I'm making myself quite a nice little bit on the side making websites atm, not a huge amount, but its getting me enough for the bills.

actually this reminds me what jim was saying aboutn my car about his is in better neck ect and saying i got rust rear arches

was such a shame when i told em there mint and alkso roled bacl totally as its got 2 new rear quarters

then he was saying about the knocky engine and taking the piss but in the time ive had my cosie the most expensive job onnthe car was getting the wheel repaired as some wanker in oxford let the tyre down and i mever noticed as i was doing 120 on the m40 with the stereo on full


as far as cossies go, yeah it knocks and is dripping oil somwhere and its splatting it all over the bay but its only broken down as the alt wire was knocked off or i stuck deisel in it

bet most cossie owners cant say that, o and ive done over 10k miles in it too

So long as your make sure you keep topping the oil up and not letting the engine run without any you'll be fine
