Just a quick Ello from me!! :WaveBye
 
I\'ve recently become the proud owner of an RX4 (Stan\'s old car if ur familiar with it) and am new to here, although have met some of you at various shows last year. :)
 
Pretty sure u\'ll all know my friend Adam (Ada7) who I blame entirely for my love of rotary cars ;) and has helped me tirelessly (that\'s not how that\'s spelt is it hmmm..!!) in my quest to find an RX4....thank u again!! :King
 
Happy motoring everyone!

Thank u :D finished treating all the leather last night so hopefully that\'ll stay shiney now :D
 
I don\'t know a huge amount but I\'m certainly up for helping out.....my main uses are passing screw drivers and being able to get my hands into smaller gaps than Adam if that counts for anything!! :D Would like a nosey at ur new car!! :D

Think it might b a bit hot for a hamster after a while.....maybe I should go down the vivarium route instead....do they make ear protectors for reptiles?? ;) :D

No ears - keen sense of smell and vibration but don\'t think many reptiles have ears??? am I right? So the protectors and any safety glasses would simply fall off.
Must google this later.

Post by: Jojo on April 09, 2009, 11:07:11 AM
Ha....well not ears in the human sense of them sticking out the side of their heads but I do believe reptiles can hear (I am often wrong though) :D
 
Ok-so now this ear protector thing is gonna b more complicated...might have to be more of an over the head harness thing I guess which could indeed include safety goggles (hadn\'t thought of that...thank u...would hate any animal to get oil in it\'s eye) Hmmm...mayb I should invent this-could go on Dragons Den for money then make my fortune!! :Thumbsup!
