    My instructions on how to fit VW Audi SEAT Skoda Handbrake Return Springs.

    Gym Jones 300 training fitness boards

    Back in May 2009, I was fortunate to take part in a free Gym Jones "300" training routine, which lasted for 14 weeks.


    The training was grueling, and almost destroyed me on more than one occasion.
    The minimum requirements were to attend at least three 30 minute sessions in the week, at JJB in Warrington.

    I'll be posting the training boards for each week, each day.

    For the time being - here's the final test that was to take place in week 15 after all the training has finished.

    Crucial M4 SSD firmware update screen

    I've just updated the firmware on a Crucial M4 SSD.

    I had to leave the firmware update file on the main c: partition, but besides that slight quirk, things installed smoothly.

    Success !!!
