First month of warranty wasted?

Good point Moss. I'm having a grease gun supplied as part of the deal, so I reckon that I'll need to have a lesson in how to use said highly technical piece of kit.

Now to do that, there has to be some usage of the suspension to knock out the grease already in the knig pin, so that has to be legitimate excuse for an afternoon's shakedown pre birthday. I'm sure will see the sense in that.

I also reckon that I will need to check ground clearance on the driveway (which isnt the flattest piece of tarmac the Mog will ever see) and clearly I need the 4/4 to do that.

Then, as this car is my daily transport, I'll need to do a practice run from home to work & back to check all is well there.

Yes, I can see that the 35 days 9 hours and 34 mins before collection will not be quite the agony I first feared

show her who's boss and drive the damn thing, tell her if she doesn't like that she can make the beds and do the ironing herself!

not reading this forum Rob??

Rob - I know who's in charge !

Anyway, only 25 days, 10 hours 53 mins to go now. And Williams have my parking pass, so it'd be rude to go all that way and not check that, oh, the wheel balancing is ok via a quick thrash, erm sorry, gentle trip along the Common.
