to work on the car, despite it being dark Got some red LEDs to go in the MFD and Speedo. Fitted the heater control red LEDs.

Rushed downstairs, rigged portalite up, whipped MFD out fitted red LEDs, reset time,date and year. Re-assembled it all. admired.

Done, start to finish in 15 mins flat

My dad was like "WTF, are you real?"

Yes, today I came home all motivated to work on my car. I walked into my garage & couldn't see the car for all the crap thats been put on top/around it

I came straight back inside, switched on the laptop & put the kettle on

What a productive night

I re-fitted my Depos in the dark, after one got broke, I bought one off Kurt, drove home and fitted em at about 10 o'clock, the only light was the light on my phone. I'd really hated having the standard lights back on

They were the kind of conditions I did an engine change on a BMW 316 in, and also a clutch on a BMW 318iS. I think the engine was about December time, may have had a bit of snow too clutch was about Feb
