Don't know if it's in your ballpark but at 0200 hours it's looking like a good cure for insomnia

Thanks Steve --- google ---that's a novel idea --- but it's more fun asking you guys.

Plus people always reveal a liitle bit more about themselves and I get you guys to do all the work. Thanks again.

I was aware of your dark motives in asking us to provide the information

I hope I'm not too revealing. wouldn't want to damage my stellar reputation as the Keeper of Useless Information

Useless info? Some would conider this whole forum useless info. You're the Keeper of the Spice of Life -- a little trivia here, a little humour (damn Aussies got me adding extra u's) there --- it's the side roads that make life worth living -- as long as you don't get lost. But what do I know? (but a hell of a lot of useless info)

Justin (topic hijacker on the prowl)

No matter what you're interested in, chances are there's an obscure internet forum dedicated solely to your hobby.

Take straight razors, for instance -- who'd have thought?

Do a search for your car's make and model and I'll bet there's a forum where fanatics who modify and race them post. They'll tell you all you need to know.

Oh no, I'm not hijacking any thread. I've already been nailed on that one for making on humourous comment elsewhere.

I do all my own work on my vehicles. With every vehicle I've owned the first thing I do is go down to the local parts dealer and buy either a Chilton's or Hayne's manual.
I actually like the Hayne's manuals best. they are based on a complete tear down of the car!!
And for you computer geeks out there, this means no greasy keyboard keys!!

Yeah -- I know but there's power in numbers --- I've got the ship sailing straight., the cannons are primed and I see a boring thread on the horizon -- she looks crippled ---- full spead ahead ---- just hop on matey.!!!

Thanks Mark (there's Avery Island -- home of Tabasco sauce in Louisiana --- just to let you know)

I own the Haynes manual for the car --- really everything I need but I like having other references to help get a more general understanding -----if I ever need to overhaul an engine on a desert island ,
