Better stop worrying about the scuffed washer bottle and get on with attaching the axle then! ;) :D

What do you still have to do before the MOT?

Booking in advance is a bit cheaper (£12.50 vs. £15.00 on the day) and then it's just do what instructed when you get there re. where to park and the like.

I'll be there on the Saturday with Jasper.

I'm there for the whole thing either in the Minor or the daily driver if I can't get a few bits sorted out in time..

Is there a Website area to camp?

After the comment above for the uninited me and Matt are twins, not identical twins, but we do have a very strong resemblance. The easiest way to tell us apart for those who don't know us is that I have a beard.






Maybe I'll shave it off as a joke..........

I don't think you look even slightly similar :o Do people really have trouble telling you apart? :roll: Better keep the beard, then (no, on second thoughts, beards are seriously rough and orrid :P *faxes you a Bic*)

Yes, people do have problems!

Thanks for the fax, but the beard is staying. I look far better with than without.


And just to throw a new ball into the mix my trav is very nearly legal :D
