Is this a scrapyard near you?

If so, is there any chance you could get me some electric plugs from the electric mirrors on a 400 series please? and I shall Paypal you some money for them and for postage.

I am referring to the coupling plugs with pins in them.

Cheers.

7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

So heres the story.

I was in Cramlington today. Sitting at a T-Junction when a vicar (possibly a priest) in a 1.7 went past. Followed closely by another couple of closely following cars.
I pointed right at him as he went past, which seemed to frighten him. I waited for traffic to pass, got on the bite and Becky! Get the camera. Its on like Donkey Kong. Im having him.
I currently drive a Pug 306 Dturbo. Quite nippy and stable. But not really a match for a genuinley frightened man of god.

Im sure ive seen the car before, but it was fun chasing after it for some pics.
