Sweet stuff! Don't worry bout the help, I'm up in (and now stuck) in Manchester. The box has been removed and the plate has been taken off too.

Glad Asia was awesome. I need to go before I start a job after uni. Year out me thinks!

Unfortunately I missed a nice red 205 GTI on BBS and quite a few old Datsuns. Quite a selection of retro tat and signs of a modification culture too. Enjoy some pictures:
