very impressed. did your friend know it was his car when he came back home? he had to walk right by it looking for his car.
 
Guys, how about reading the announcements before you shake your fingers... if you can tell me the exact title I will find the thread in the last backup and send you the text.

DavidB, I've just read that anouncement. I work with computers, I know S***t happens, too bad. (Isn't it a fools day joke? ;) )



My post was of no importance, but the description LeGenDz did of is detail was very good.



I bet he can remember every thing he did, he just have to write it again. :doh

Damn, that sucks. No hard feelings. I just wish I had known, so I could have saved my reply. :)



I didn't see the announcements b/c I come straight to this page after receiving an e-mail telling me that I have a reply in this thread. :(
 
LeGenDz... it this it?
