Just out of interest Stu, what kind of crisps did you get?
They were weird ones. The Food Doctor Spicy Chipotle Corn & Soy Crisps. Judge me on the car not the crisps... :(

Our garage is part of the house. I love it when the wife moans that the house shakes on start up. Although I get it outside asap once started, the fumes in the garage linger for ages and theres no doubt that these beasts are tops at depleting ozone. Fortunately there are windmills everywhere round here so its swings and roundabouts!

Just pasted 4 years of ownership in Aug and mines a DD......I couldn’t even think what to replace her with. I haven’t washed mine in ages, every time I get that 45min free to get her washed I just drive her instead so that says a lot!

I was down getting a coil pack sorted last week and the guy who sold me the car (basically a mate now after 7 years of using them for doing work on my current car and the Mrs car) asked me how much do I want for her... I said it’s not about the money it’s what do I replace it with? He just nodded and said 'true'.
