cheers scott

Yeah, do it Scotty! (I'm such a hypocrite, if you heard me revving the car on the cruise, you would have heard a nice combination of clutch fan noise and fan belt squeal!)

Well, at the moment I'm not because I'm pretty broke. If I start getting some work again, then I might eventually fit thermos. It would be good to hear the engine over the noise of the fan!
I'd probably try the wreckers first, but I'd ask some of the blokes who have done this conversion first.

Yeah, I only have a month till I'm back to uni, so when that starts, it's going to drain all my remaining funds. Just hope I get some more work in before then
