    I wouldn't trust anybody to jack my car up apart from me, or my local MOT man! (He owns 3 minis, one a spotless pickup!)

    @Moggyton - Just done a quote with Admiral. £610 for the Mini, £780 for the Clio, totalling £1390 for them both on TPFT. Pretty chuffed!
    @a_woolhouse - Thats the plan with Henry, a weekend fun car, and the Clio is the daily workhorse :)
    @anthonysjb - WAAAAAY too much, nearing double figures I should think o_0, however, he's nearly perfect now which is why I want him to be a weekend car, just bought one of A-SD's car covers to tuck him up over winter :)

    Ah fair enough loads of things are like that you do something good then you have to write a lot about it, any way make sure you make an informed decision you will probably end up not minding abou the paper work.

    My practical skills are pretty good, but my writing skills are absolutely appalling which is why I find it so difficult

    Ah fair enough at alevel tech I got an E I made a trailer that attaches to a push bike but also fits on the roof rack of a car, welded it all up primed and painted it, it looked good and worked well and all my class thought it was good but I got an E because the paper work was rubbish aparently so I under stand what your problem is
