Hear you may need to get your ski's out tomorrow

Some mates were out today and posted on f/b pictures of snow today! Foccin horrible weather and I've got to walk or cycle 3 miles tomorrow to get my car from the garage after its MOT (passed after getting new rear calipers, £££'s ouch!) But hey ho, we're tough up here in sunny Scotland :lol

Hi just had the same with my MR2 two new calipers, four new disks and pads plus handbrake cables about 650 squids, with labour, Ouch Ouch Ouch X 2.
With saying that though is not a job I would want to do myself, petrol tank off to do the handbrake cables also disconnect some of the air conditioning pipes to get the tank off (Mid Engine Car). both seats have to come out of the car to remove the central tunnel to get to the handbrake lever connections. My mechanic is a great guy and always casts a critical eye over the car when he works on it and informed me it will want a new nearside front strut for the MOT in September, oil leaking down the outside of the leg. another £120-£150 I would guess.

Running 2 vehicles isn't cheap! Thank god they're both bought and paid for but running costs are another thing
Forgot to mention that on my car I'd just bought new pads all round £40, two new front tyres £120, had to get them for MOT but I was just driving round going to a motorbike shop near me last week, when a kind policeman was pulling people over, he said to me that I needed a couple of front tyres and quick as a flash I said "I was actually just going into that garage to get them officer" thankfully he let me go and get them there and then provided 8 came back and let him see them, which I duly did and he let me on my way. Nice chap I've got to say as it would of cost me £200 in fines and 6 points on my license  (which is clean) and I'd still of had to buy the tyres on top, so hats off to a decent cop with discretion.
