You should have stuck with a real tortoise, not one of these fake tortoises roaming around!

Took my car down for the EGR change today and the tortoise appeared on my dash en route. First time. Hopefully it will be resolved after the work is done. Friendly looking chap.

Harvey, is your car fixed now? Did the dealer give you any detail about what had been done? Any noticeable difference in driving afterwards?

I'm picking it up this afternoon, hopefully before the snow descends. I'll fill in the gaps tomorrow.

I did ask if it would take long. The service manager gave me a knowing look and shook his head. "We've had a lot of practice with these now".
