    Quick car buying is always a good thing...I totally dread having to buy replacement cars. I will keep sticking the sellotape and blue tack onto mine in an attempt to postpone the inevitable.

    At least it has stopped playing the radio whithout any keys in the ignition....its like the car "Christine" off the Stephen King film.

    that would be nice vonph, luckily for me (workwise) it shouldn't be for a while though - maybe aug/sep. Lou if I remember rightly your dad lives almost next door to me so if you come up in the summer give me a shout.

    without a bloke there you don't have to open the bonnet and pretend to know what you're looking at! :D the only concern was "how long a warranty are you offering?" I travel a fair distance each day so really needed something I could rely on.

    He lives in Logan in Airshire....my uncle was groundsman for the Ayr United foodball grounds until he retired a few years ago. I love Bonnie Scotland:D

    Unfortunately I havent seen my Dad in over 2 years:o

    When Harry met Sally. What a film, one of my favourites actually. I know I know, its a chick flick but a great film nevertheless. Some would say I was a woman anyway! :rolleyes:
