- My car needs a bit of work done to it. A garage quoted 1500 pounds for a new
- engine. I blanched at that. Took it away from the garage because a guy at
- work said he had a mate who could help.
-
- That was 4 weeks ago. These guys never seem to talk. They haven't contacted
- each other for weeks it seems.
-
- Peeve: being so technically incapable that I find the courtesy light inside the
- car too complicated to fix!
