After rotorstock - came home went to bed ( as you do )

got up this morning and couldnt find my sunglass\'s anywhere

wrecked the house looking for them ,shouted at the better half for hiding them

turned the cars inside and out looking for it - but nothing - gone !!

wore them in the car on the way home from RS - so lost them from getting out the car to into the house ( 6 foot tops )

looked under the car and every where !!

not impressed

ANYWAYS - found them tonight ... you will like this ... see huge pic and see if you can spot them - will explain later :)

wedged over near the coils ... I managed to loose a 4D cell maglite in an MG metro a few years back ! ... it had rolled under the seat mounting and slid down towards the sill ... thought it\'d been nicked out of my back pack !

I then promptly lost it again on a road rally when I left it under the car when I had been fixing it :(

well done mike !! :)

got off the motorway and the car was making a blowing noise ( see thread called "heeeeeelp" )

Pulled over - looked to see if anything was loose and drove home , it was only tonight that i put 2 and 2 together and looked under the bonnet

very impressed that they are still there and still in one peice - i dropped the bonnet as usual ( that should have broken them ) and drove the other 3-4 miles home

couldnt believe it :) - although i did something similar with the EGI - topped her up with oil , drove her at stupid speeds and took her down the twistys but when i stopped at any junction/light the idle was really bad - got home - popped the bonnet to see the oil filler cap just sat ontop of the battery :)

so this is a lesson to everyone - when you think you have lost something - check under the bonnet of the rex !!
