Put some fuel in it, they seem a lot faster when you haven't driven them for a while

Taxed the Saab,, decided to try the Direct debit route, instead of paying out £325, in one go.

It does take the sting out of taxing them,although of course ultimately more expensive.

Would have liked to have done it in one hit to reduce the monthlies down, but Batflu, Dvla and company withholding OT from March (even though the shysters have been paid it by the customer >:( ) have other ideas, so £23 a month it is... ::)

Tucked the Omega up out of the rain and worked on the next winter upgrade...perhaps.

:y The only off the shelf ones I have seen were for LHD only and with shorter primaries.  Maybe it's the wrong shelf?
