haha...the howling probably was me.

Turbo is now sitting in the world's nicest garage...waiting for me to start. I spanked up to edinburgh in my tasty new rover.

I'm quite impressed with it, you can't deny the feeling of quality...the switches all click!!

God do i miss the volvo though, after skidding over red traffic lights twice and nearly losing it on a couple of corners i've pretty much given up on any stopping/cornering potential the rover might have. Quite pokey for an NA diesel though, and decentish speakers as standard.

Anyway, i'm back home now...was just a quick visit to see the woman.
