Speaking of cars, not an NSD for me, took my car for a drive round the block to put air into the tyres and keep the battery ticking over, it drove really well for 15 minutes then broke down, so back to the garage it went. I do trust these people and have used them for over a decade so don't think they did anything wrong yesterday. I suspect the clutch, so it's probably not going to be cheap. Oh well, at least the tow truck guy gave me a lift home!1
