well that's what he said to me in away, fords spend millions of pounds on development and you come along and change it, tune the engine, what about the brakes, all you could do then was to fit up rated pads. the jag was nice though, and a bit of comfort.:thumb2

After being tugged for no L plates on my motorbike---many years ago ----
guilty-----£2.00 fine (big money then; especially for an apprentice)---my sympathetic Dad said; " Never mind; just remember that for every door that closes, another one shuts".

Not exactly advice, but it made me smile !
