AND- we could bring it with us in June to get the least of Dianne's damage of her car... That's thoughtful , but after all that food, do you think any of us will be able to bend

I'm somewhat reassured that you don't sound 'as' despondent now as you you did after the dreadful news the other day. Paintwork aside- how does the car feel, after it's once over? Did it get the service as well as an MOT,? Was it Craigies, you went to? Last edited by dante giacosa; 30/04/2016 01:00.

Just got all the parts,and should have been fitted today, we use Matt/tec who are based in Craigies, Matt runs his own business from there and worked for Fiat for many years, so really appreciates the coupes and is very knowledgeable. The car is staying with Matt just in case the company he wants to do the paintwork manages to get a space. It is not parked in Kirkwall though, safe in his home garage. I will pop over for visits and run her round after the service to check all ok.

Top 10 hotels in the Highlands, Scotland My Pic of the Edinburgh Balmoral Bump. My post from last week that everyone ignored Ok trip is definitely on for me/us now. It was and is was a bit complicated and expensive with lots of car stuff needing done, with Sofia and Michael coming up by train to Glenfinnan on the Saturday to join Lewis and I, Lewis then going on School trip Sweden a few days later then Sofia going to France the week after and then Michael and I joining her the week after that. Got headache just writing it. I will need to book into a hotel in Gairloch/Poolewe as my sister is going to be away on holiday then. Last edited by Lego; 02/05/2016 22:59.

I haven't a clue what's going on with walkie-talkies Sounds like there are enough to go round so I'll be happy to leave mine at home. I'll be out of range once we are off the A9 anyway Last edited by Lego; 03/05/2016 00:40.
