Bless!! Bet you're carrying a towel in your car now!! Just in case!!

I was lucky in a way as I don't drive with my work shoes tho... Can't drive the cossie with high heels!!

So at least, I didn't have to stay with wet feet all morning

No Kim baby, defo came from somewhere around the pedals / under the dash. Could be the hole where the cables come through, although I thought Greg had done that not long ago...

Will just have to have a quick look... Can't have a foot bath like that every morning

Sorry to hear that Nat, I'm pretty handy with a welder having spent some time watching flash dance.
