Boris, get thee to the library young lady and see if you can read it for free!


Does the library open on Saturdays? I haven't been to one since I was at school. I doubt I have a library card either, plus I'd probably take it back late and get charged!!!! I did that at Blockbusters so stopped going there!!

*sticks a banana up Lenny's tailpipe!*
left my car at the Peugeot garage this morning so I've got a little 207 courtesy car.
fault on anti pollution yesterday, tyres are low tread on the front and air con is foisty.
Thank goodness it's a work lease car so I don't pay a penny for servicing, tax and any repairs!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Yeah, last year i went to council one with previous gti... but this one is going to local garage, big g is friendly with the guy now as they both into old vw's... and i think it will be in good hands...
Thankfully they have squeezed me in at short notice... nice man!
but it's booked in for a local fellow petrol head who big g is pals with, they have a common interest in ol VW's, so i think we'll be right. but i have used council before.. and yes i think it was a fail then a cheap fix elsewhere then back for a retest which was free... but isn't really supposed to be, i think he fancied me!

Mine is due its MOT in a couple of weeks (last year cost me a fortune! In region of 1200).
Has anyone tried the council testing ones?
I was thinking of switching from my normal garage as OH always follows the mechanic around thinking he's going to rip me off. Thankfully OH is a former BMW mechanic.It Will be Mine.............ITV Cash Win, Ipod Touch & Spa BreakI have the comping bug!
