Pavlov dog!

Post by Squiggle »

Roger Rust almost salivated like a Pavlov Dog when I showed him the 1/4" slim tappet spanners that arrived this week!

What part of a Minor does that for you?

Certainly not a set of spanners! :lol: I love the curved styling especially the way the wing "flows" into the door :wink:
