Re: breakdown truck
yes!! you get two weeks of weeding my garden & sort out my clio which doesnt always recognise the ignition key 
Re: breakdown truck

It's only a little car so you won't need lots of fire. The 406 on the other hand......

OK, so push it into a lake and tell the insurance man that some mythological supreme being made you do it in exchange for eternal life. That never fails.rich. wrote:i wouldnt do that, i like our insurrance man! he gets me work & is very helpful

Re: breakdown truck

I usually take my modern to classic car shows. park it round the corner then walk in. Until the NEC start the "International slightly battered high mileage rep-mobile" show its a system i'll have to stick with.
