Dropped up the garage for repair. Skeptical about garage that is covering the warranty

Filled the boot with more bike bits ready for a run to a friend who`s doing some fabrication work for me at the weekend.

Tried that once in the V40 - clutch protested somewhat at 4k rpm and 0 mph so stopped!

Oh and the stump didn't budge :-(

Get slack in the rope, then go forwards and have all the slack out by the time you're off the clutch, no clutch protesting. Uses a bit of kinetic energy that's stored in the rope as extra spring... will pull the car back when it reaches it's limit!

Hopefully fixed her.

Collected 31 paving slabs on two runs, then felt guilty so have her a good clean and hoovering. Off to Suffolk dog day tomorrow so the Greyhounds will get to do some more nose art on the rear windows.

Bought a new fridge for my mother, and took it over to her place. Didn't even have to fold down the rear seats to fit it into the 740.
