I should've known from the start that letting Mr. Anal (Hi John) have free reign over my car and point out all it's little issues would be painful. What I didn't expect was it to be quite so painful!
When someone tots up a list and says "just over £2k to sort it all out" you think WTF?!?!?! But it's coupe ownership so hey, ces't la vie.
He's on with the most (de) pressing jobs now and I need to have a word with her indoors when I get home about some of the others. Needless to say if they don't all get done this time round "I'll be back" as I always seem to be emptying my wallet in my cars direction!
A big thank you to John(who was still in his garage playing with Darlo Nick's car at 20.30 hrs bank holiday Monday) and, as per, has been professional and very thorough in his search for issues and weak points. Hopefully I can talk wifey round into the nice 4 figure sum to sort most of out.
As a foot note thank you to who ever painted the gold items on the green machine, they are - errrr - very un subtle!
