Time to look around if you can then mate (I know the climate over there isn'ttt exactly the best), I'd hate for anyone to go through what I've experienced the last 12-18 months.

MikeO Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Twiglets. My taste buds are a bit boring nowadays but twiglets kick them back into life every time. They actually used to be part of the Saturday night MOTD ritual when I was a kid (along with peanuts and celery and cheese) for me and my dad and my big bro. Happy days.

How dare you. Just had the soft top professionally cleaned/proofed and service booked for next Thursday, MOT on the other happening Monday.

Never use them, just as cheap (and much better result) going to a hand wash place. True you have to speak Polish to explain what you want done but well worth it!
