    Ouch!!

    Have you tried taking your van to another garage for another MOT? I took my Saab to a main dealer for an MOT recently because they had a special summer offer of £35. They failed it quoting front seat belt needed new part, £120. I took it to a small garage owned by someone my sister knows and it passed! There are some dodgy garages out there.....

    They did the same thing a few years back - said my back brakes were nearing the end of their life and did I want to replace them? No, says I, as long as it'll pass the MOT it'll be fine. Drove around in it for a year, took it to small garage for next years MOT and they didn't even mention the back brakes!

    Maybe a cute nurse will come along and inject you in the bum to cure your back.




    Note: nurses can be male too

    Well its a £90M rollover on Friday for the Euro Lottery.

    If you fancy a laugh then my motoring woes were that my little smart car

    "Cheap Runabout - 60mpg £35 tax £7pcm insurance"



    The engine blew up so it cost £1000 for a rebuild.

    Yes £695 for the engine, then fitting and then service.

    £1150 including VAT to the Smart Doctor.

    I got a years guarantee..... Then he went bust!

    But my back is fine! (so its not all bad)



    And Laurens Back is in fine form!
