My eldest lad has changed jobs and needs the sport for a week so I just had to insure the Baur again winkeye winkeye winkeye just incase you know.
£85 for the year fully comp, no excess, 2000 miles, to and from work as well !!
I just have to put her eyes back in and away I go.
The hip opp is in place now for early June and to top it all off, my cd copy of "A question of balance " has turn up from Berlin of all places. Moody blues by the way.
Happy days.

Good stuff, onwards and upwards, well for 2000 miles anyway :D

One of my clients had his hip replaced, took about 4 weeks from cripple to normal as I recall.

Funny, I was working at his when he had it done, at the same time put my back out again. It would have been quite the sight, doing up his shoe laces because he couldn't reach, and me struggling to get back up from doing them :mad:

That 4 weeks is about right as I had my other one done 9 years ago.
I only did @500mls last year as it was a disaster for me body wise so I should be left with a few good months I hope.lol

Never a good idea, will see how things pan out and then will decide.

I can lend it to you for a fee, then you will see how a "proper" E30 feels like ;o)))))
