    worthwhile?

    Just thinking,, (dont laugh Baz)

    Should we put a sticky up with important info for the "first post new D2 owner" ?

    I mean show stopper stuff,(and only showstoppers--)

    check oilpickup bolt, check front propshaft type stuff.

    I suppose basicaly a safety warning,,

    so vote away--!
