    I use a free program called GIMP....a poor mans PS.

    You open the image, duplicate it - then on the 2nd image you add a layer mask & desaturate it. You then simply use the brush tool to paint the areas you want returning to colour.

    Really easy once you've done it a few times

    Had a trip to the coast a few weeks back and met up with a couple of the drag racing crowd for a relaxing weekend by the sea, thanks to Jimbob ,Emlyn and Pete for making the trip over to make for a great weekend with some lovely weather and stunning views (except for the sunday when we had to pack up in the pouring rain).

    I will doing the VT Devil's run on the 7th, would you be going to this Daune ?? not sure which car I'll be in though

    Shame you and a few others couldn't make it, may be next year. It was a bit windy on the Thursday, but that dropped off on the Friday before everybody else turned up, sun was lovely and hot and I got cooked on the Saturday afternoon, whilst the others popped into Barmouth for chips. As for the car in the tent, I got some right funny looks backing it in there and taking photos of her, big tent to swallow a whole Volvo.

    Got to the bottom of an annoying handling issue which has just recently cropped up, where by if you are turning left and then tighten the turn slightly then the car responds with what I can only describe as rear steering and goes into oversteer. I thought at first the rear shock may have broken the top mount and changed it, but no improvement. I was out doing a few bits and bobs on the Olive and as I had the jack out, I then popped the offending corner of the Gul in the air for a better look at what was going on the rear suspension. All became clear when I popped a lever in between the body and the delta link bush....shed loads of play....the next issue was how to remove the mounting as I knew a special tool is required and it isn't in my toolbox so I made up an attachment for my slide hammer, which promptly failed to remove the part let alone budged it.. so back to the drawing board and I will be making myself a new tool to push the part out and hopefully pull the new one back into place and without the need to drop the whole axle....pic's to follow if it works.

    Spot on Dave, always a pleasure to go for a run over there, I have a lovely route that includes a rickety old wooden topped bridge in the lanes from ours to there.

    good luck with it fella...I've got a knackered bush on the front end of my daily Hyundai - to make life easier & minimise downtime I got a couple of control arms from Fleabay instead of just the bushes. 50 quid a side pushing the value of the car up to about 200 quid
