"F***-ing bastard piece of s***" is what I call it if I just grazed a knuckle trying some twisted contortionist move to undo a mystery nut deep withing the depths of the engine bay.

EBR - Engine Bay Rage!!

My bane of existence is the bonnet hooky thingy in Clubbies that stops the bonnet flying up and hitting the windscreen. That thing, at the moment, has more hair on it than I do. I have filed it down and still bites me. Must be self sharpening!!!

That's not true, someone did comment on it and you answered something about her being your mistress. I wanted a closer look so saved it my hard drive in the hope of enlarging the photo to see greater detail - of the car of course.

Gafmo, you genius! "Agro" is a great name for the bastard!

Or how about "Vendetta"?... sounds like a ladies' name and I know the car has one with me.

ven·det·ta (n) - A bitter, destructive feud.

What a perfect way to decribe my relationship with my car... LOL!

The source of light is different in the photo of the Mini and the photo of the chick.

That, and the chick has a blurry halo around her...
