If you'd had a PH sticker on the back I would've stopped and helped.

Have to say Adam was cursing your roundabout technique as we went past!

yep.... saw you and your car, and knew it looked familiar, checked your profile and sure enough it was you! you cant even breakdown in peace now!

My car looked like it had been to hell and back, not normally that dirty, should really have been using Ronda, but couldnt find the keys (wasnt having a very good day was i?)

anyway... how did you manage to keep your car so clean? looked spotless

Actually, having just driven from Leeds to Worcester the car was filthy, so it was taken for a handwash as soon as we arrived in Worcester. Sad but true.

Came back to see friends and relatives, some of which hadn't see the new Tiv. Couldn't arrive with it looking anything other than perfect.

Well I do have my image to think of

Yep, used to live in Berkeley-Heywood, just next to the church.

If you see a G-reg blue S roaming around it belongs to the people we were visiting yesterday. Reading through Sprint yesterday we also found out that their car used to belong to Mr Morgan of Morgans Mutterings fame.

Right, need to start a new post about my dodgy speedo.
