Something you should know from the top of your head
How do you know I'm a Sparks? Guessing there is something in the picture? :-)

Never mind that.
What's the name of your band?
I'm guessing you're on drums?

Are you a secret agent spy? :-p

I'm in quite a few bands. Couple of function, cover bands and an original band. Yes I'm the drummer but I'm trying to move away from it now and move more onto guitar.

Al-Jazeera secret ops

But unlike that other agency, I don't buy my suits at Saville Row, but in Primark.

I do have glasses, though

Just noticed your a Sparks and you've probably seen my other photos on photobucket

I'll try and figure out how to remove that unit today as I'd like to do this change later today if I can.

Was in a rush the other day and driving my car a little harder than normal. After about 30 mins the gear changes were horrible between 1-2, nearly gave me whiplash. I also noticed downshifting which I've never noticed before.

Yup, typical symptoms and timing of worn oil.

Spot on with that photobuslcket album

No, I didn't peek much- just one or two to each side of engine bay photo.

2 hrs 13 minutes.. Not bad for first swap..

Schedule some time for next one.

It will be "chocolate" for a while..

Now, back to important stuff:

What's that current breaking capacity?
