No I wont be taking car to pub, live in tiny little Cornish village, have to park car about 1/2 mile away in garage,although some people try and drive to my house, this one just outside my front gate. he's got loads of space, have seen some wedged in both sides!!! Anyway the car drinks to much now,so definately not taking it to pub. Cheers matey C/P
