Imperial should be shot.

The person you invented imperial should shot.

Anybody caught using imperial should be shot.

Have I made this clear enough?

Unless you own an SP, then you need a 13, 15 and 16 as well. :evil:

I can't say I'm surprised, Mr Boags! After seeing you and your friend toss water on the radiator between laps at QR to cool it down, I would have thought you'd be looking more closely at the cooling system :)

The other common MX-5 size is 17mm, along with I believe 21 and 24.
