Absolutely nothing g apart from being annoyed that this TomTom Home doesn't work therefore can't update my Sat nav. No idea why it doesn't work either.
So I'm just stewing in bed refusing to do anything!

Paying £140 to get my car through an MOT. (facepalm)

Apparently some bored biker has been treating his car like an extra on the Dukes of Hazrd and hammering it into corners. So much so it's knacked bits of the suspension so the car needs some TLC. (angel)

Spudda, don't tell Rich.

Sounds ok to me, given how useful the car is to you.

Plus you have to drive them hard :)

Today I will mostly be putting a Q.C. to shame with his poor skills and lack of understanding of the Road Traffic Act. The work he's done for the Claimant is shockingly poor. It's the basic stuff, like not being able to add up or pleading that my client was the insurer when the other bloke got done for driving without insurance (facepalm).

Sorry .... a little vague :^

2 weeks ago I was about to order the Mazda 6 which I'd already tried ... great car plenty of umphhh and 'FamilySpudda' friendly.

I then gets a phone call from my boss asking when my current car is due for change ?
June says I ...
He then promptly tells me to ring the fleet manager as theirs a deal kicking around

Turns out, we have swapped our lease company and as a sweetener, the BMW 520d SE Business Edition was an option.
Went to look at one, sat in one (albeit the M Sport) and it pushed all of the 'FamilySpudda' buttons.

So I ordered one ...
Only criteria was it had to Black or White ... so with my OCD I went White (doh)

It was only yesterday I went to test drive one (y)
184bhp : 8 Speed Auto : Nav : DAB : Leather : yada yada yada

Tax is a bit steep but then again I have been driving a Picasso 1.6 for the last 3 years.
The tax wouldnt have been such a jump if I'd been in a Mondeo or the like over that period.
But hey, the Spudlets are out of booster seats and the Fun Adjuster has an S-Max so theres no need for 2 family buses.

Just had a delivery date of the 23rd of June (smirk)

Not sure about that Mac, my bikes black and white and both parts are equally as much of a pain to keep clean.

A solid black bike is vey tough to keep clean. A white one is no where near as bad.
