That sucks, hope Matilda gets fixed soon because she's awesome.

But being a car of great taste, I wonder if Matilda likes 'Pink Floyd' too?

:) :lol:

NOOOOOOOOO you broke it!!!! :thumbsup: :D . I hope she gets better soon because I actually love her, screaming round the back roads on the 15th with the Prodigy blareing was amazing :wub: but soon I will have Wilma on the road :w00t: (one step closer now I have started driving lesons)... then Matilda will have competition :)

I still owe you a favor so let me know if you need a hand with anything, and I hope Matilda gets well soon.

Cheers Taffster.

Of course she doesn't!! Actually, I worry about Matilda's taste in music. She's fine playing metal & hard rock, but try & sneak in a Stevie Wonder or some old Motown & the tape gets spat out (in her old head unit) or the CD skips (in her new one).

Cheers Mr Bish. I'm hoping she's in good hands. She has a Guardian Angel watching over her from afar :wub: . Unfortunately he doesn't work there anymore, but he's keeping an eye on his old colleagues for me.

Matilda will be ready to come home in 20 minutes. :thumbsup:

Six days without her have been too long.

Am a pathetic shadow of my former self. :)

Expensive labour. You just can't get the slaves these days. :angel:

Nevermind. Free tracking, steering column dismantling & wheel straightening.

We filled up on mini juice, and then went for a burn via Westcott, Wootton, Abinger, Gomshall, Ockley, Coldharbour, Leith Hill & back.

She is driving so f***ing well :dontgetit: . I don't remember her holding the tarmac quite like this & there is sweet FA vibration. :ermm: ;)

(and the buggers made her all sparkly!!)

Happy-but-skint-days....... :)

They actually spent over five hours on those bolts. :D At least they didn't destroy the subbie, which is what I was afraid of.

Ouch!!

Yes, he can charge more. And you shall have a ride, my sweet!!

No you wouldn't. I wouldn't let you anywhere near her.

Expensive labout and a hell of a mark up on parts. You certainly pay for convenience!

I'm sure someone like MiniDaves (whose business isn't that far from you) would've come in at half that price. However it is done now and you can enjoy her again (if you can still afford the petwol)
