The quote had to consist of a CVM upgrade, they refused, saying that the up-grade is not legal, as while the new suspension is legal, the vehicle is tested and rated for the vehicles stated CVM. I said the magic figure of towing 3500kg is to do with European Dr...

Yesterday my daughter emailed me again asking why I didn't do something useful with my time. "Like, sitting around the pool, drinking wine isn't a good thing? I asked. Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She is "only thinking of me," she said, a...

Out of the blue have suddenly started to get emails from Hipcamp - am 100% certain I have not registered/logged into or whatever to site by this name. Anyone else getting them? - afraid it may be a scam. They give a PO Box address in Moruya NSW.

Love the trend from my GP to do consultations by both Telephone and Face to Face. A telephone consult saves me hours, no driving to the surgery and sitting in the waiting room catching all the germs patients bring with them. No extra hand sanitiser and face mask routine to follow as it sit at home, or...
