"admit to towing a caravan"
I know, dreadful isn't it. What a bloomin' idiot I am. Still, got fond memories of carting very young children off to a beautiful, isolated beach in Greece, half mile long and crowded out with at least two or three other families in their tents/campers. Of course, we only got there after seeing the sights of most of the rest of W Europe, and the magnificent coast of Yugoslavia (as was). When they were older they appreciated Delphi, Parthenon, Corinth and other places for a few minutes before returning to the beach to pursue their interests in windsurfing, diving, sailing etc(courtesy of those other lovely Dutch and Austrian families on the beach who came properly equipped (I did take a lilo and diving mask and flippers). Then the final indignity, after 3 weeks at the beach (free) we used to get invited to that lovely chalet style home of the Austrians for a week, trips to Budweiss (taste that beer) and the Dutch couple insisted we go to Amsterdam to see their home and city. After about 10 trips like this one gets a bit fed up so wife and I now spend a few weeks cruising round France.
How I wish we had chosen to do package hols instead. You can't beat waiting a few days for a delayed flight, ending up in a hotel full of Brits, without your luggage, eating Brit food and if you don't like it, being unable to move on.
I realise the last paragraph is bigotted nonsense, but only the same as people who run down caravanning - I don't care, if you don't like it don't do it, but please don't "diss" those who do. Each to their own and may we all have a happy summer holiday (are you really going to a theme park in Florida durng the hurricane season? Is that why hols to Dominican Republic are so cheap in July? Will you be allowed out of the hotel compound or do you have to sit by a swimming pool for 14 days - only joking - enjoy your hols!!)

I have used this, and found i to be pretty good.

Does what they claimed it would do in my car (2000 Astra) ie makes engine smoother, and gives more power in the lower renges.
Simlar to Shell Optimax.

And happily for me I get more miles per tank, and following a rough experiment works out 0.1 pence cheaper per mile than 95 ron unleaded.

Unless the MOT test has changed, if there's a seat present, then it has to be secure (and all the other bumf mentioned in the above link). If the passenger seat(s) isn't / aren't there, then the tester cannot fail the vehicle as there are no seats present to test.

A few years ago a friend of mine was doing up his MG-BGT, but instead of taking it off the road and doing the job properly, he continued using it as his daily transport as well as trying to restore it to it's former glory. For convenience he only chucked the passenger seat in and didn't bother fixing it to the floor as it got in the way between welding and replacing the interior trim and carpets. When MOT time came around he just took the passenger seat out. Two MOT's later the tester commented "I remember this car, it didn't have a passenger seat last year - oh! it hasn't got one this year either."

I know my spelling is a weakness and have tried to correct it

the best I can

>>

bazz1603 - i sympathise with you, and i can see that you are now taking on the suggestions made. i see that you have now corrected most of the errors. just a few final touches:

"your" = you are

"wifes" = wife's

"I bet the garage with stick her straight back on the forecourt as the condition is that good" = in my opinion, the car is in showroom sale condition.

"excellant" = excellent

"Be Quick otherwise it gets Part exchanged" = don't bother bidding as it does not matter to you.

finally, are you sure about the 40mpg around "town" claim for a petrol estate car. if that is the case, then ok.

p.s. if you want to improve your spelling, you can have some fun learning at www.misspelled.com/

Imagos is right - these are pointless exercises. The bike will usually outrun them both off the line, the car will then catch it up and the plane will shoot past them both like they are in reverse by the time it reaches flying speed.

Years ago I went to a British GP at Brands Hatch (yes, it was that long ago) and was suitably impressed by the cars screaming round the track... until Concorde and the Red Arrows did a fly past and put them into a whole new perspective.
