You got away lightly, my face neck and arms were scorched beyond belief
Then monday morning at about 6.30 a press went down, working in front of a 500 degree machine for 2 hours, i thought my skin was going to melt

Thats not good mate. My arms and forhead hurt sunday evening but were ok monday. Would you beleive when my misses got home, her ankle had swollen 3 times it size. Went to Worcs A & E at 8pm and was there till 6.30 am!! Back in monday afternoon and this morning :cry:

Im asian and I got a sun burn, damn it was well hot

Well Ive cleaned the Brembo's today......they need a refurb!

I've cleaned the wheels today and guess what......they need a refurb too! Whoever painted them before painted over brake bust and tar so its lifting all over the place. Not to worry just means I can do them how I want :)
