Pulled up the boot floor in the M3 to look for my passport..

Did the same in the Omega, and checked the glovebox, door cubbys, seat backs, floors.. then did a merry dance for five minutes trying to get all the doors to lock with a half flat battery  ::) Manually lock back doors, manually lock passenger door, lock drivers door with key .. they all unlock again. Argh! Rinse, repeat until the battery is presumably so flat they no longer unlock themselves..

Put my recently recharged battery on the car to move it out of the way in order to attack the front of Idwals MV6...

Was nice to meet you Ken, hopefully the drive home was ok :y

Changed the busted glovebox handle and noticed that the chip repaired by Autoglass in June last year had cracks radiating from the resin infill. Contacted AG regards their lifetime repair guarantee, was told that cracks aren`t repairable so appointment made for this afternoon to fit replacement screen free of charge with no ins. excess 8)

Sod all work for it, inspite of advertising... and a firm I was doing alot of third party work for has bought two more cars and put their own drivers in them :-X So basically it's not a cost effective car for friday/saturday nights or town work...

I don't find it that comfortable either, if I'm brutally honest :-\

It is when you're trying to compete with trains... competing with other taxi companies is easy enough, but you can't force the phone to ring ::)
