In your own time mate, no rush. Xmas madness next week, leave it till the new year.
Its only the tyres and the removal of leafs that I'm unsure on and it can wait.

cheers

Mr. Billy,
I must ask, pardon my ignorance: 'the proportions look schmik'? I can tell that means something good, but where is that word from? Sounds like there's some Yiddish origin there.
Schmik, Jesus. I kinda like it.

schmick
1. I say this in Australia to mean anything sick, cool, tight or excellent.
Usually the item is new, shiny, fresh and mad bling-bling style.
2. Can also be an said to mean 'cool' 'allright' 'OK' or 'yeah' in response to a question, to show your down with it.

I DO NOT polish my schmick!

1.very classy; done up amazingly well: “really schmick car”; 2. do up beautifully (see German “schmuck” - neat, spruce, smart) "

I meant " tastefully done up" not over the top, definitely not "mad bling - bling style"

Power management ....... Commonly referred to as a 2H-T.
Apple Play cabling, IPad software blah ... blah ... blah ...... I have a cell phone that I can almost hear over the rattle of the Diesel engine.
Sat Nav ...... In the morning if the a Sun is in your eyes your probably going East. (Reverse in the afternoon)
Weapons targeting ..... I have a scatter gun overhead in the gun rack and a pistol in the glovebox.
Night Vision ....... In the Deep South we refer to them as headlights ( + fog lights if you're wealthy).
Death Ray ..... Rifle instead of scatter gun.

The Burrito is my office. I am just trying to catch up with you.....in your working "office"

95% of those buttons and switches are fake. They're simply there to make us look smart to the passengers.
