Stailess Steel Exhaust - Worth the extra???
I suspect my exhaust will need replacing at some point in the next 6 months. I usually plum for the best deal locally with a bit of ringing around.

Insurance query?
I fractured my wrist at the weekend and now have a cast on it. Does anyone know if it is illegal to drive with a cast on your wrist? I can manage to change gear and steer perfectly well, but a friend said that insurance won't cover you if you have a cast on. Does anyone know?
