Wrong! When you have mice in your shed and they do not always eat the special meal that you put out for them it is best to check.

PLUS...

You can then put up a table unfold a chair and open a cool one to practice... if you have not tried it do not knock it!

Agree - best to check. I recall going camping a few years ago and up-ended the tent bag, and instead of the normal clunk and rattle as the poles hit the ground, there was just a soft 'thud' - oops, no poles!

I'm having a flap about Headlight beam deflectors.

My Twingo has normal halogen lights so I'm guessing I'll need to buy them?

Some sources say they aren't necessary but I don't want to give the frog police any excuse to pull me over.

will be leaving at 5.00am but had to drive up to london on the m20 this afternoon and saw scores of old cars heading down towards the classic, it was just like it used to be before the main le mans 25 years ago when i would be driving to work up the m20 on the days before i left for le mans i would see hundreds of cars going down and it always built the excitement
