If that post of yours didn't have two fishy statements I'd ask what the pay is and if it had beer coupons....

But a very nice offer. Thank you Rob!

And with the caretaker, i meant 'custodian', 'mechanic' or 'steward', and not the undertaker. The pay would be 'adequate' (in terms of Austin Martin performance figures), and beer would be obligatory.

Your making it even more painful as we go Rob.
Okay okay.
I am accepting the offer. When do I start?

The guy said it was about $549million US dollars, all I have to do is send 1% to his account. I'm currently saving up to get the funds.

Sounds like a great deal Rob. I have missed several of these very lucky emails as they end up in my junk folder and I have lost about a gazilion dollars to date. Luck you! You hit the jackass... Errr pot.


I am spending the money I gathered on beer to forget...

Finished installing my new headlights with angel eyes or halo which ever you prefer.
So I hooked it up with my new battery and these are the first signs of life I got.

A lit empty tank which kept illuminating even when I pulled out he key. Note I have a special auto sender unit.... Here that light is not supposed to work



when I hit the light switch things got nicer
The instrument cluster fully with LED.


Side marker LED


And the halo headlights... With HID bulbs

The halo get the power from the marker lights while the HID get power straight from the battery having an in between relay give the command over the stock switch.
