I have had a lifetime of faith Ben. They never cease to amaze me. Just hoping it's not anything really serious. It's stuff like the CAT which is now 17 years old and other bits and bobs that will mean aggro/expense. Bodywork is near perfect (thank God).

Mine is set for a fail if my hazard flasher unit doesn't come in the post today :L only other thing I'm worried about is its started to pull to the left. Hopefully just tracking but could be more serious :/ fingers crossed!

Perhaps they will turn Top Gear back into a programme about cars & motoring from the comedy programme it is at present.

Although I do like top gear and the jovial outlook it has, clarkson always goes too far. I'll be interested to see the outcome of this one as he was previously on his last warning from the bbc execs. I've been lucky enough to go to 2 recordings and believe me, it's a bloody long day, not 2 hours.

I've run out of space to put stuff. Every corner of my room is filled with mini stuff. And I haven't dared to look in the garage lately.... :D ah well spring is nearly here, time for a big clear out!

I can't ever recall having real butter. My grandparents used to have it on the table in one of those butter dishes. Might go buy some now just to see
