    that is wrotten luck Taxi, but sounds like you'll have good things to say about your exercise recently when you go to the gym. Not that's that make it any better. Need to sort our my PAD when i get home but i think it will only be the promised £1, and i'm not really sure i can afford that :(

    Thanks you two.I haven't took any painkillers yet but may need to as a last resort later.I may go for a Skoda or a Nissan primera or a toyota avensis but not sure yet.I hope not to have to buy one for at least 3 years.
    I don't want them working me too hard at the gym.I don't even know what to expect when I go tomorrow ..I just asked the nurse about exercise on prescription and here I am...lol
    Good luck with the PAds ..I was wanting to put money in the savings today for tax but couldn't as we have no wages.

    Well I haven't found my Avensis to be massively reliable. Rust around the driver window at less than 2 years old and engine management problems on top.

    My next one will probably be a Mazda...

    Thanks ZTD..that's the Avensis off the list then.If it's not reliable in your line of work (whatever that may be) then it's sure no use as a taxi...and it'll def rust here because of the sea air...
    Mazda..I haven't heard much about them but have (hopefully) at least 3 years to decide.
    Elantan..I'm hoping it's just a chat tomorrow as she hasn't told me to take trainers/sports clothes etc...I'm aching too much to do anything yet any way.I guess it may be to work out whether I'm going to use the gym /swim or walk or whatever.

    Our Zafira has just gone through the 100,000 mile mark and has never really let us down.

    That's the problem with cars - there is no such thing as a "reliable" make or model nowadays - it is all luck of the draw really.

    Hope tomorrow is better for you!
