No,that is my appy.He used to work with me at another company of which I was a partner.My partner then embesseled R200000 from the company.

He was one of a couple of people who didn't get paid for 3 mnths,so I did my good deed for the day and employed him today.He has a 8 mth old baby.

He helped me clean parts today.

Well, it seems to depend where you are in the world then....

In the UK it derives from Cockney slang... Amuse yourselves here
Dont take the Mickey, is short for "Dont take the Michael Bliss.... Which in turns mean "Dont take the piss" Which in turn means not to push your luck or be cockey! :wink:

Chris... get a different ignition switch if you can, those midas jobbies gave me problems in the past and they wear out pretty quickly. :)

Only one queston though.If you look at the two doors whre the handles go,you'll notice that the one side is rescessed and the other side not.The indentations are also different.Is this normal,or are these two doors from different models?
