Cutting contiboard. Over the last few weeks I've floored my loft, tapped the ring and fitted lights, and was just making some shelves. I needed 4 x 52cm lengths, so three cuts. Doing cut 3 around 7pm last night, the saw snagged, flexed, and yeah there we go. Initially it would not stop bleeding - so it looks like I've sacrificed a chicken up my loft :lol: There followed a 2 hour wait for treatment at the local hospital, but thankfully it had stopped bleeding by the time we got there, as the teatowel I'd been pressing on it was at saturation point :?

Oh, Cheers man! :lol: I was informed that's fairly normal for the inside of a forearm? Maybe the nurse was just being nice to me :oops:

Today I finally got that power flow exhaust on :D

Replaced the terrible rusty straight pipe/no back box abomination and got this beastie on

Even with the cat though it didn't quite fit but modified existing pipe for a quick Sunday bodge and hooray!

This is what I mean by didn't quite fit ... lol

I hate to say it after the event, but... You don't need to undo those bumper mounting screws. You leave them attached and just undo the bumper bar (4 bolts from the front and 2 nuts on the back) with the bumper still attached. Much simpler that way.

Today I tried to get rid of the front end of the 3g.
Apparently Sunday isn't one of the days that the that 2 local scrap metal dealers that are "open 7 days a week" are open though :troll: :roll:
Then after watching McLaren Honda exit the GP after 9 laps :( I started work on the back brakes on the bb4
