A very tight budget at the moment may result in fat power ranger getting an outing so make sure you pick a dry day !!!!!!

No mechanics, mate. They're all useless twunts. WGT want an awful lot of money to do this.
Not sure what car you're referring to, Paul? I have no vehicle, these days.
How can you pick a dry day, in advance?

Just once Pete, once in the years I've known you - is there any chance you could have one car in your fleet actually not SORN ?????

Dont joke - that problem would leave half of the Nissan technicians I've spoke to stumped !!!
Reminds me of a guy I knew donkeys years ago in Liverpool - bought a new Ford and p/x'ed his Orion Ghia (going back a few years). When he went to pick up the new car, he drove into the dealers car park and parked up. Got the keys to his new car and handed over the keys to his Orion etc as per the agreement and left. Couple of hours later got a call from the dealership asking where the engine from his Orion was
He had towed the car to the top of the hill near the dealership and then rolled down the hill into the car park. He had flogged the engine to a mate
He told the dealership he hadn't realised it was part of the deal and that the sales guy had signed for the px anyway so tough luck
Got away with it as well

Only a scouser. 
None of them are SORN. They're all taxed and insured. Except the silver 180.
Hard to get it through an MOT when the engine isn't bolted in. SO CLOSE, too but the thick garage mongs have lost my engine mount nuts and the bolts for my A/C and PAS brackets. Course...Nissan want 6 weeks to get me some.
RX7 should have had a new engine in it, by now but...and I quote...they couldn't get the donor engine off the gearbox.

March might be looking iffy 
There's a few meets daaaan saaaaf I thought we should avoid, and I've got a stock take, although that may have to be changed, because I've got to pop over the water for a couple of days ... hmmmmmm, I could try to incorporate....... hmmmm.........
Leave it with me for a couple of days
We could always go with the Birthday thing again.........
(think we could sort this in 3 weeks
)
