Morning Barry,

no- wasn't mine this time; or if it was I'm not aware of somebody taking the car away

Typical of the weather though to turn wet & horrible when you want to drivecurse

Hope your car feels as good as mine did.cloud9

Cheers,

Jeremy

If the weather says like it is now, put on a wet suit & paddle her home! The rain is biblical at the moment here. Hopefully it will clear as away on the coast today & tomorrow.
Good thing I have booked in at pub today & restaurant tomorrowdrink

Hi Barry and J,

I think the red S on the ramp on friday was mine. A lack of residual handbrake travel failed the MOT so I left it with Matt to correct. All passed now - no advisories!

Happy motoring to y'all

All this testing is a bit of a bugger, going through the same thing.
