Looks a heap better. I reckon the lean is just your driveway?

Did you clean the spring off and have a look at who made them?

Thanks, actually that might be cool if I can.

Well Wednesday is the only day I have off this week.. So hopefully Wed.

I've got to go so some BS seminar thing that related to one of our suppliers on Tues, that's in the city, so being half way there I might come up then. If I can find a light haha.
But I might be taking a lady I work with up too.. So I might not be able to come up. :roll:

I can't wait to take more stuff off the XD though :D

Either way I want to check out how low your XG is :P
