I thought that was a good watch, Shaun.

A bit of vehicular regression going on there, from present day, back to the time of steelies and Gaspra lookalike trims, as well as rubber bump strips on the doors.

Vast difference from when it was standard and such an unusual colour too.

Got a cheque for £300 for keeping my mortgage with Nationwide though the post got excited book a table at an expensive chinese restaurant.

Took the car out to go to the bank to cash it, stopped a few yards from my house to make a phone call then noticed the brake pedal started going to the floor. Drove to the local garage before i inserted the car into another one then found a massive pool of brake fluid by the nearside rear trailing arm. Fun and joy that's a big job so its going to cost me a bomb lol

Was it brake fluid or did you just get a bit careless with the KY?


Hope you get it sorted and it doesn't cost too much.

I told you the car would get jealous of your shinnanigans with the KTM, in the shed!

Seriously though, I hope you still have enough left from your cheque to cover it, after your Chinese meal.
