Thanks Si, without that water i may of still been there now, frozen to the car! Image  

The code.... im going to have to keep notes of it, bad enough 1st attempt i went to put in my dads immobillisor code  :-[ im not really blonde.  Image

Tomorrow morning i will walk to work rather than risk driving a car i have only driven 5miles in normal conditions than risk the snow. Id rather slip on my ass and look a plumb  ;) plus we have a bet dont forget  Image ;)

Cheers Drynet, 5months ago i never thought id own a car! Just goes to show anything is possible if you want it to happen and do the right things to make it happen, it will   :D i wanted something in my own name (car/house). Done it got my car! The house on the other hand will probs be the 10th of never!  :(

I wonder how long before i get the car full of chocolate wrappers hehe. Going to try keep it in tip top condition  Image

Excited! I just require a sat nav now to get from A to B, you think im joking!  :D Image

Lmao trust you Si to spot the sign! Its where i live, house is for sale has been for about 1yr, but im such a good housemate i can move with the woman when its sold who will stay in the village Image

heading towards the NEC at Lichfield....

how do you end up at lichfeild when you travel from wales to penkridge ? Image
the Nec is no were near lichfeild Image
I think i was heading for Birmingham instead of Wolverhampton


why would you head towards Bham or wolvo ? which way did you come back ?m50 M5 M6 ?
i didnt know which N, E, S, or W of Birmingham i needed


why would you need n, e,w,s or central bham when heading to penkridge? Image
good job i put more deisil in before leaving


you must of wasted half a tank ending up in lichfeild, and heading for N,S,E,W, b;ham

It was extra motorway practise anyway


Theres no motorways anywere near lichfeild Image Image




God knows were you've been. When did you leave wales? Saturday diner time ??? Image
