Tense and nervous, yes. Very nearly smelly and sludgy when I saw a police car coming down the sliproad we had just darted across in a fairly silly fashion on a backfiring and misbehaving GPZ followed by Jamessunhills chavtastic vauxhall corsa (ahahahaha)

It certainly makes a change for me to be on the side of a road stationary and not broken down...

Oh and it was all going so well.
Snapped one of the tw*tting rear bleed nipples.

Carbs cleaned up nice in the dishwasher though

No I didn't use anything in there, just wanted to get all the sh*t off. Will try the calipers with a tablet in there, don't think they contain caustic though, no warnings on the box. (cheap tablets!)
Will try a tablet in with the calipers and see what happens, my mate had a set turn black, must have used something stronger.

Just make sure all evidence of said dishwashing experience is gone. Don't get caught when owner of said dishwasher comes home to find disgusting gunk in it I'm sure you've heard the story I'm on about
