First of all, as your a south wales member, put your location down on the googlemap, im the only one at the moment :(

With regards to the suspension, if your changing to normal shocks i think you have to change the top mounts as well, but im unsure. The springs will be fine with normal shocks.

Coming up from Birmingham (following the pennies) and across from liverpool to leeds - we have a "T". We need 5 now to the east. Which means most will have to either move to house boats on the North sea or Norfolk?

Either that or the 5 will have to go underneath. It has already started - the top of it stretches down the M40, along and down to pervypetes entry. But we need more people in a curve spanning around oxford to west london and back towards Bristol?

And yes - I am bored.
