prefectopop Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Glad its all working out - all too often it seems we get shafted by a less than scrupulous minority who think silly things like insurance, MoT tests and tax are for everyone else. Looking forward to seeing the end results - I'm sure everything will be better than fine
