As some may know, I (well, the car and indeed me to an extent) have been suffering from a REALLY annoying flat spot lately.
I had to remove the intake pipe which included the air filter, afm and air temp sensor to get to the crank sensor plug. Anyway, I refit it all but leave the ram air pipe (a big tube that runs from the front behind the grille to the air filter) disconnected.
Drive up the road... NO FLATSPOT (kinda).
I'm happy, but also a little peeved that A. It was something so easy, after spending f*ck knows how much on new sensors and other sh*te. And 2. HOW IN HOLY HELL DOES A RAM PIPE CAUSE A FLAT SPOT?!

Saw some badly advertised Vectra B Xenon headlights with a buy it now of a tenner and free post on eBay, so took a chance that I wasn't gonna receive just a bulb, get a parcel today, both lights, all the connectors needs and both ballasts good to go. Normally go for ALOT more. Only looked cos the glue holding one of my lenses on is letting go.
Winner!!
Been to a local car show today, daughter rushed over to this demanding to know why it was there when it was in the drive when we left home 
Don't know who's it was but was the VDC stand, but will be getting a stand together next year.

Trying to use it one handed so I could record a video was a bit awkward!
Took the kids to Gulliver's World, about 50 miles away, all good, got parked an just walking off I spy my front number plate is missing. Pissed off cos A. It's a not very old pressed one and B. It's a 50 mile drive home and chances are nowhere open to buy an emergency one. Anyway, park closes, decide to go straight home and chance it cos my old plates are there and they will do for now, get back without getting tugged, what's sat on the drive but my number plate, sticky pads had unstickied themselves. So thank you driving god's for sparing me having to buy a plate, and diverting the policemanists from me for the 100 miles I did without one
