Re: plonkers and rs2's

oi, i resemble that remark!!

except i'm 39, and not a local govt official.

oh, and i recently replaced the indicator light on the rs2.

seriously, i wouldn't touch the thing with a spanner until i know a lot more
about it than i do now.  the ur-quattro is a better bet, at least i have the
manuals...

i'm sorely depressed to find that probably 50% of rs2 drivers i see look like
they *are* using them for shopping trolley's (a non-sexist oblique reference
for the descerning).
