Sheila went 240 miles to Manchester and back yesterday to collect a Daf engine c/w clutch, propshaft, 2 doors for stripping (c/w windows, window regulators and door cards), a battery tray, 2 front struts with good balljoints, 2 front strut upper mounting bushes, a front spring (they only have one), 2 track rods with good balljoints and a few bits & pieces. Total cost, including petrol, £80.

Bargain :)

I've had the music from the Mos Eisley Cantina in my head for about two hours. Urgh.

Having been taught to hide things away so that anyone coming to the house can't pinch them, my sat-nav is now so well hidden even I can't find it...
I have a better idea. Rather than the "Hide Everything" game, why not only let people you trust into your house... Seems sensible.

Don't worry about temptation--as you grow older, it starts avoiding you. :(
