It will die a spectacular death. Just don't call the fuzz, or use an unrecorded PAYG.

Better pray ECP pull their finger out at sort out their stock. I was told that they are now the UK agents for bilsteins, could I find them when I replaced every suspension part on the touring?
!No
ECP are as much use as a spare prick at a wedding.
You'd better speak to Matt (meatballs), I was only talking to him lays week about shocks for his own car, he's been saying for quite some time ECP don't stock Bilstein anymore.

Mine is sell my scrap and get a 3 year old Ford Focus on Finance as you can get good deals where you only pay interest for 3 years then give it back and get a newer one.....

:D
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

The last New Years resolution I made was not to make any more New Years resolutions.
Strangely, it's the only one I've ever kept!

Roof repair
Speaker replacement

Drive it grinning!
