All this talk about turbos and stuff. I think there should be a class for cars like mine with no heater and no paddin on the seats - But at least the water can run out the same way as it runs in...on a more serious note I was just reading a mini mag where a chap was talking about having to pay 100euros insurance (despite having all the right stuff on hand) when crossing into Poland or Hungary - one of them -just got visions of needin a wad of 'paper that talks' to move around. just built myself a flat patch to try and get the old 'orange thing' (the wife's words) going down the road a bit straighter otherwise I'll be needin new front tyres half way round. Cheers all.
