Nearly :cry A friend had 2 tickets but his Dad then bought him a holiday in the US, flying out the day of the concert! "Ah-ha :D ", I thought, "I'll have 'em!". But, after Sept 11th, security was very tight & the tickets weren't transferable :(
Dame Edna was good, but I loved the bit when Ben Elton took the pi$$ out of the Government & the state of public transport - did you see Tony Blairs face when they cut to him? Hillarious! It was mind boggling stuff though. Brian May standing on the roof of Buck. Palace playing the national anthem on electric guiter was weird (10 years ago he would have been shot on the spot). The last time I saw him was outside a local pub having a drink with Angie from Eastenders!
The highlight was definately Ozzy playing "Paranoid" to the Royal Family :) What a laugh that was :lol: Brilliant.
Did you see the carnival procession? It was led by a Hells Angel known as "Snob". What's going on in this country? Ozzy Osbourne & Hells Angels entertaining the Queen? Maybe it's not such a bad place after all :D
What with the Queen (Betty Britain) being on stage with Ozzy, Tony Iommi & Kermit the frog & then England beating Argentina in the World Cup, followed by Lewis beating Tyson, things are getting more surreal here than they were in the 60's :lol:
:cheers:

Problem solved, I took the vette back to the spring shop, They removed the spring and re-arcked the spring objective was to lower the rear by 1-inch. That was all it took to fix the problem. The guy at the spring shop said it usually takes a few tries to get the spring just right on the vettes. He also said even though they use the same spring from the same manufacturer they are all a bit different. All I can say is do not bother doing your own spring not worth the trouble. If you can't re-arck the spring then it is a crap shoot. Toronto guys I highly recommened Pickering Spring they were great to deal with. The vette runs great with the new spring handeling has improved by a factor of 10 I love taking those sharp turns very little body role.
