You get the idea?!
Hmm I thought the request was for "fork 'andles" and the shop keeper came back with 4 candles to which big Ron replied "no - fork 'andles handles for forks"
But anyway great shows them I particulary liked the cafe sketch where they had a conversation along the lines of "LO F U NE M" - "S V F M"
Cheers

I know I am full of useless info
It is lucky that it seems BX 16v owners do have a sense of humour, puns about needing one are not required but dare I say we do tend to have the last laugh
Cheers

Would be like trying to explain irony to an American

And for our American friends - irony is like your steel, only stronger!

I have two ICVs sitting in the scrap pile. Can send you one for the cost of postage but cannot guarantee its any better than the one you have. We don't run them on our car perhaps one of the local 16v guys could test it on their car for you.
