Hi, about to become my wife's mechanic
« on: 05 July 2007, 21:46:29 »
I don't drive  - I fall asleep in moving vehicles, I blame my mother, who pushed me around the park to get me to sleep. Hell, I used to fall asleep on bicycles and a moped! - Not good for a long life on the road.

However, my wife is an excellent chauffeuse, and has had a love affair with her Omega 2.5 v6 cdx saloon for the last year. I am going to have to get my hands dirty, because like all love affairs, the poor car's health has been neglected in favour of good hard rides and now needs some TLC, and I'll continue in the general help area. This seems to be a really friendly site.
