    CHYEEAAHH BOYY !! aahahahahaha.

    Yeah mines still playing up. TBH i didnt measure it, i jsut guessed, put it on started it, adjusted agian started it, etc etc. Eventually out of the 100th times it started to idle and rev fine. I had to advance it a little though.

    I measured it today at .4mm but it wasnt running good. So i just took guesses hehehe

    Some f*cked d*ckhead drover straight into the back of me today infront of school. I was at the pedestrian crossing and he just kept going.
    I got his rego down and his name and license number, but im unsure of how to contact his insurance company. Said he's with HBO, but i've never heard of that. Im scared as i dont have insurance on mine, that i'll end up getting screwed.

    I just cant seem to catch a freaken break ...

    Haha funny you should say that. I went cop shop, and asked to fill in a report, she said theres not much she can do, its all up to the insurance companies? Errr ok. All she did was take down details etc and said she will find out more about the driver. I have 2 witnesses, one was in the car with me, whilst the other was crossing the street at the time. However because they go to my school they are considered 'friends' and she cannot take their word for it.

    So im guessing i have to take a statement from the grass, or the tree who witnessed it, whom i am not associated with for it to count.

    As long as you filed an event report that is way better than nothing.

    Good luck with it, mate.
