Cheers for that, booked in there, seems like a nice professional place. You know you've found somewhere good when they book you in as "Scooby"

Turns out Tyldesley Tyres, despite me asking very clearly, about 4 times, only do tracking

I think that was Mrs Spock. Allegedly she had been driving through the village looking for her hubby (Mr Spock) to return home from his interplanetary expedition. However, that statement like this is a load of bollocks

I haven't seen anyone in ages. Obviously despite the jibes, I'm the only one man enough to let the scooby get dirty in these winter months

I leave mine dirty most of the year. Have you moved out of the area. Only ever see the light blue sport around here anymore, plus a grey classic from shak with a female driver.

Did spot a bright orange classic this morning. Have just spotted you Jaytc, I think going past my house about 20 mins ago? Only caught the back of the car though.

Haven't seen that lad in the light blue one for ages.

Spotted a dark blue (at least I think it was that colour) Classic passing Bedford High towards Leigh, and a Stickered up number (dark car, light graphics) as I then passed St. Mary's at about 9:30.

Hehe, your car was sounding fab... and looks great too. How long have you had the aftermarket DV fitted?

Tut, those women and that pram crossing on a blind corner... lol.

I was just coming back from Gadburys as I had to buy an alternator for mine as the bearings in my old one buggered up yesterday. The whole alternator siezed up this morning on my way to work at 7am... so was sitting outside gadburys till they opened. Got to work 2 hours late... but hey.

Saw blue bug eye go past me when I was waiting. Lexus rear lights and ending in EZO... don't think it's anybody on here though.

Elliot
