Oh God yes and it's driving me nut's especially with the weather the way it is and having the time to go for a spin!! I may just take it round the block a few times and hope the plod are not about!

stevec - 30/6/06 at 08:05 PM

Go for it Andy, if Dick Barton shows up you can plead Diminished responsibility based on the stress of waiting for a SVA,

DIY Si - 30/6/06 at 08:09 PM

Or just bing the local(ish) garage some cash and if pc plod catches you just get him to ring them up. Hey presto, permanent free running time!

omega0684 - 30/6/06 at 09:18 PM

si you devious b*****d, dont you know we are surposed to obey the plod

DIY Si - 30/6/06 at 09:20 PM

Pah. That only applies if they can catch you first! I've only been pulled in traffic. They're generally too slow on the corners in their great big boats/omegas round my way!

omega0684 - 30/6/06 at 11:08 PM

si you need to change your building quote! instead of putting CVH de-dion locost, you now need to put

IM LAZY SO I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT ONE!
