Proper shopping cart.

I'm a bit cheesed off with Paypal because it doesn't really allow postage outside the country and I get the feeling people don't trust it outside of Ebay, so I had a look around for proper shopping cart software.

As you can probably tell I've designed and laid the Titan Classics site out myself with help from my wife who's better than me at Java.

I've decided on 'Roman Cart' for the shopping cart software. It was in the 'Creating websites for dummies' book but it was also quite easy to get my head around, been around for a few years and had good security. So people from outside Britain won't have to mail me for postage costs from now on.

I'm hoping to get the cart in soon but work at Jag has got me run off my feet at the minute.

Oh yeah! I asked for a price on a number of new items too.
After a rummage amongst my skanky old nuts and bolts I asked for a price on

Ti 1/4" nyloc nuts

Ti 3/8"unf nyloc nuts. Have you seen the state of the standard steel ones under the car? I remember I had to unscrew one once and it was so corroded it finally came off the bolt hot!

Ti 7/16" unf nyloc nuts. For the rear subframe supports and I think they're used a few times on the front.

Ti 1/2" unf plain nuts. These will just be a bit of a bling really for the engine bay, although they're constantly in the harsh conditions and are stronger than stainless.

Ti 1/4" unf x 3/4inch Phillips Countersunk Screws For the hinges on the Mini doors. They were SO difficult to remove I thought I should sell a load of these. The ends get rusty and stick solid, and as they're Phillips head the cross would get damaged. I had to drill one of them out which I guess isn't bad on a 1986 Mini. Titanium Phillips slot should last longer too as its much stronger than mild steel.
