That was Mrs Nick's car.

Mine was the pothole. Those alloy wheels cost a packet!

Ask Growler.

Send the bill to the council.

Exhaust, indicator bulbs, back axle, drive shaft .... they can always find something to add £100 to your bill no matter what the car went in for.

Not all garages are like that - I had two new ball joints (no smutty jokes please) and they cost £100 without fitting, a full service, MOT and two new tyres. Total bill £420.

The blank comment was due to my system still being extremely slow - I think it got itself into a bit of a flap!

Ask Growler.

Send the bill to the council.

On the other hand check the council car parks to see if any of their cars have alloy wheels and then unleash the boy......  whistle:
