Excellent !,
Is that image just created on the computer or is the rock made for real. Surely a good Crissy present.

Roger will be blowing a fuse when he sees that. Ideal for pulling out fillings and crowns to say nothing of breaking teeth. :shock:
Cheers, Clive.

Not at all - pull out all the crowns you like - better still, fracture the cast post holding them in - implants start at a couple of thousand quid these days

You could setup a chair in the corner of your new super-garage Roger, you'll soon recover the build costs. :lol:

Good point - I'm sure my pillar drill could do the job just as well. Any takers?

No thanks Roger, already been done mate.

You'll need a pro facilitator for the ACA self-help group, I'll see how Nicky's fixed.

Regards the Hunt/Blakeley-Edwards Cobra... interesting one that. Its known as a TD (Thames Ditton) car and was registered in '62 I think. Smart move on Martin Hunt's part (he's the owner) as he's usually the only Cobra in his races because he can get into pre-63GT and not pre-66 like all the others :wink: 2 years ago he was in his Cooper S at the Goodwood ACOC Sprint and I beat him by less than a second in the MGB :D
