. . . . . . . . . . but sometimes you do get one fly past you(even bays sometimes) but 10 minutes later you pass them (when theyre being loaded onto a recovery vehicle). :rofl take it steady on the right pedal, your motor will thank you for it :lol:

After a recent hairdryer based mishap I would recommend some spare fuses.

You might have a problem if you live in East Kilbride, however, as we bought all of the fuses that Halfords had.

Amazing how easily something that is so cheap and easy to replace can cause major problems.

Spare underpants for when driving a high top over high bridges in strong winds with lots of trucks.
