I fitted a pair of winter tyres to my Mondeo once. I was too tight for 4. The trouble is, the back end would snap out when you least expected it. Buy 4 or buy none.

I found out just how bad automatic transmission fluid tastes.

You should stick to drinking the clean stuff that looks like Tizer,

I got a tenner tip today so I gave it to some Eastern Europeans in return for washing the van. It's come up like a new pin. They must use neat hydrochloric on the wheels. I don't think they were that silver when new.

Sold my Peugeot Expert Combi to Cartakeback.
Paid £100 for it in February, they gave me £225 for it today with a blown head gasket and no MOT.
That's better than free motoring.

Better than using it on the ex girlfriend I say :)

Has a right moment whilst pushing on through some bends. Are Nexian tyres better known as Chinese death rings because they suddenly offered sweet fa grip.

Topped up the washer bottle on the SuLKY, it has flashed a low level warning on the dash a couple of times recently, but to be honest, I thought it was probably a sensor fault as I don't use the car much. However, I do use the washers pretty much every time I start out as I hate a dirty windscreen...

It took nearly SIX litres of water and screenwash to fill to the top! I'd say that means it was pretty bloody low and the dashboard warning quite justified!
