and also it seems my bodge on the fuel tank is working well as thats no longer leaking!

Why is it that 2 second bodges seem to last a lifetime and replacements last 2 weeks??

What do you expect when you painted it GREEN!!!!!!!!!!
Unlucky colour!!!!!!!!!!!
I've only had two green cars in 24 years of driving,never again!
PS.I love B.R.G. as a colour and I'm not generally superstitious but no more green cars for me.
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

over 10 years since my last accident in a car, and I've had 2 people drive into my green omega in the past year.
My Green ZX7R also seemed to be invisible!
