i’ve been a good boy and studied hard for my exams (which is also the reason I have been uncharacteristically quiet; the girls were busy and will post later), therefore i felt i could allow myself another tiny bit of tinkering. remember that i tweaked the rear door a bit, way back on the great ocean road<\/a>? when i got a bit cocky and tried backing up the rig all alone, without my trusty lookout?<\/p>\n
