Duncan, if you didn't have your head so far up your own ****, then you would have met me properly. Dismissing me at TOTB a couple of years ago when I approached you about advertising on a local forum, which was already agreed that I would catch you there, because, and this is what you said; "Can't talk, eating my ice cream." and proceeding to make haste away.

You are right, you've never mapped my car. Never will get the chance to either.

I know fine well who you are. I don't hate you, nothing of the sort, hate is a very strong word to use. I think you're incompetent, arrogant and frankly a bit of a dick. Just for clarity.

I always tend to get my facts right. So you're a web designer or something abd not a lap top fixer. Meh. Doesn't change a thing.

And Southern students who don't learn it.
'Pimms' is a Proper Noun and should therefore be capitalised.

(AAAGGGGHHHHHH - just started a sentence with 'And' )

Tubbytommy moved to Romania to start a goat farm with the proceeds from the sale of his Impreza. They don't have the internet in Romania yet.

I thought the point of group mapping was to save money not spend more.

This is my plan very soon just need to do shed loads more reading 1st before I take the plunge! Quick question...When I get my ESL it will be loaded with a base map which I then intend on tweaking,is it possible to switch between the base map on the ESL and my stock ecu map once the board is soldered in?
Cheers Rich
