No, last tried to make contact in November 2005. Kind of gave up after a couple of tries. Anyway, will try again some time :) even though Ben has set the bar pretty high :D

Going back to topic :wink: - I found the original posting.

Of course the camshaft & crankshaft nut is really 3/4W although 1,5/16AF is pretty close.

Hi everyone,

I'm this mysterious Ben person who's been flooding Minor Matters with articles about my old two-door!

I know this is an old subject, so nobody's probably reading this, but if anyone is out there - hello! It's me!

My computer died last week so I didn't see this topic until today, but thanks for the compliments! Really glad you liked it. Now I'm going to be walking round grinning while telling everyone that I'm a 'star'!

One day I'd like to be a motoring writer (but NOT the next Clarkson as everyone automatically suggests), so I suppose I've been showing off a bit with these stories - sorry! All my talk of autojumbles and collapsing tents is true, by the way.

All the same, if anyone wants to write a story for MM, then it'll probably make it into the mag with time. It normally takes ages after sending stuff in before it makes it into print. Just make sure you've got some good photos to back it up with. Give it a go! Must be worth a try.
