F-ckin S1, managed to get myself stuck inverted, head in the footwell, bum on the seat and feet over the roll bar, and couldn't get back out with the 500 watt halogen light on the passenger seat burning my arse. What a bloody picture that would have made. All the time I was thinking "I'm too old for this" why did I get rid of my Exige, I'm sure I'll feel better once its back up and running or should I say stopping. Really wish CMC was closer by.

All that to get the top nut holding the master cylinder, got the nut off eventually but not looking forward to the re-installation, trying to adjust the master cylinder push rod and get the nut back on etc. (Any SE midgets in the NE fancy a wee job this week)

Rant over, just need it ready for Croft. Then it will be all smiles.
