he thinks cause you aint got 120 quid you must be a tight arse i guess


though might i also add that 120 is fuck all these days and would be worth thinking of adding on a credit card or taking packed lunch into work for a few weeks to cover it IMO

stop spending money on cars then and go to nandos


sorry im just making a light hearted joke, i know you must be ill as you dont seem the free loading type and people who aint had a job for over a year generally if they dont want one either do something else to get cash OR if they have no cash dont have any future plans like building cars ect as they dont think long term if that makes sence

hope you get better soon,,, ask the doctors if you could have a fat transplant and if so ill be GLAD to be a donor

If you get stuck Rich my mate Paul will prob do it for not a massive amount of money but I'll have to ask him as I dunno what he's up to and he normally likes me to go along for the ride- and I'll be at work- also depends whats on the back at the moment.

Nice one Glad to hear it's nearly done and with a respray it'll look top

If you want to tow it you can buy those bars cheap and they are safer than a rope. I used one to pick up a car 50 miles away from me and it worked perfectly and only cost me Ł20 from Halfords.

My clutch went one night... It was a few days before FITP..

I gave The Diva a ring and booked it in, then rolled it out the garage, phoned Greenflag and told them my clutch had just gone and I need to get to liverpool

DONE

You can tow a 4 wheel drive as long as either all 4 wheels are on the ground or all 4 are raised off the ground
