Default Quiz time?

Do you have the clip at the back underneath the bonnet seal just behind the coolant cap? Some of these covers appear to have the tab for that clip, some don't, although those which don't may just be broken.
How does she know these things??!! I'm in awe, as always.

And it made me think of an idea: how about, for the annual meet (now in October...), that we have a sort of reverse quiz?

It could work as follows:

1. Anyone on here (not me, I'm useless at anything even vaguely technical on '8s ) think of a question that they think MJ might not know the answer to,

2. Send the question to me (by PM, obviously...),

3. The organising team pick the best ones to ask her,

4. Whichever one(s) she can't answer wins a prize (tbd..).

Simples? And plenty of time - especially at the moment for many of us - to think of really tricky ones to test her.

PS: I know MJ's not currently on the meet attendee list, but I'm sure we can find a way round that
