Yes, i did see the e-mail address but couldn't be 100% that was the e-mail address to send paypal payment to, might be worth a little side note next to it saying 'send paypal money to this e-mail address'

just for the dumb coonts like me

anyway payment sent, will i have it tomorrow do you know or is it going to cyprus first

Martin,
Is Friday okay, as it is half-day closing at the PO I usually use (in the c-untry ), and this would save me a 20mile round trip to the sorting office... ?

It will definitely go direct to your address .




Bill,
Please note ammendment required for the mentally challenged .

Jay,
Your biatch hasn't even sent the money yet , so give her a good and tell her to pull her finger out.

I did say to her, that she couldn't be as bad as you - I'm beginning to revise my opinion .

Sorry pal , cheap shot i know

But in case anyone thinks otherwise, it was a very tongue in cheek gag, as i personally find it disgusting how people jump on the bandwagon to slate others on here.

That's my view anyway and until i have sampled your products/service myself (i am gonna get a SECS monitor i reckon ) i will reserve judgement completely.

As chip says, at least you can laugh about it

SECS monitor isnt very hard to fit, you just smash at the crappy ford perspex bit on your dash and it slots in from behind there, then you tap into the ecu wires which are just above the glovebox so dead easy to route to.

You just need to tease out the relevent wires from the back of the ECU "hairbrush" and then solder the SECS wires to these and then push back in. You then remove the clock and silicone seal the gauge in from behind, where that used to sit. Comes with FULL destructions anyway .

Good thinking Smit but he's not VAT registered, as me + Dad can get alot of car bits cheaper than through Mike if we put them through the Business, as ours is VAT registered.

Nath,
It's only because you forgot to remind me to bring it to the meet .

Smit,
My turnover is currently JUST within the £55k threshold, but if things carry onlike they have been, not for much longer . STOP buying stuff off me .
