Did anybody see me looking cool on the mig stand fixing my car  had a solid line of traffic going right past me as every1 was queing to get out, i felt right cool 
Like a spanner i managed to flood the plugs with petrol so it wouldnt spark. And then id put all my tools in the car, with the exception of my allen keys so i then had to go on the hunt for some so i cud get the spark plug cover off. Thanks to just novas and corsas i got hold of some and managed to sort it no probs.
Still felt really gud having hundreds of people looking at me when it wouldnt start thou

I had that happen to me at PVS 04. Was in a massive queue leaving Santa Pod and it just cut out on me. Everyone was passing me and looking.
Then got it going finally, got onto the country roads and it cut out on me again whilst driving. Was broke down on a junction with everyone stopping and giving me abuse
I was in the middle of nowhere

Glad you got it going! Saw it on your drive when I dropped the Usher off at about 10:30. We didn't leave Santa Pod until 6pm, didn't fancy the traffic much...
