    What fiddly corners? There are no corners, just beautifully crafted designer curves.
    Missed that as well. Now you know I smoke. Wait till you see the photos of the CV re-build. 3 empty beer bottles got into the shot, and I arn't doing the session again!

    you dont really see Rizla here, did you know that angouleme down the road from me is famous for its rolling papers:thumbup:

    as for weight of shoes i suppose it depends how big you feet are surely but why not just become anorexic and you wont need light shoes [:$]

    all dealers now have digiscales i see's thatz on the bill i did [:D]

    We really have no use for digital scales, since my crack dealer is "away on holiday" I can't borrow his.
    Size 47=12UK, a man's size! ;)

    I am going to make a massive list. Every type. Every size. All should be washed first to get rid of the congealed sweat!
    Realy important. Much more so than Chris Eyre's: sumps, and heads, and alternator brackets!

    Honestly, I can't remember. They must be at least 7 or 8 years old. I've tried to replace them recently, but nothing quite fits the bill. [:^(]

    I'm 6 feet tall. But have small feet and small hands. The rest of me is in proportion to my height. ;)

    Anyone know if VW made a thinner grip Gti Mk2 steering wheel? I can hardly get my fingers around the standard one! [:x]

    Rizla Green taste great. Shame I can't get the extra-extra large ones for proper roll ups!

    Yes, buy 2 pairs of normal size shoes, throw them away and lace the boxes up. Freak.
