Balls

silver ballsSilver balls.

Following on from my ignominious return home yesterday with the car on the back of a truck, I got carted off by the RAC again, this time into Sheffield to get the immobiliser fixed. …. £875 of fixed, and I won’t have it back until tomorrow.

So I wasted a day wandering around Sheffield waiting for them to decide what needed doing and give me the quote – this having been told I could expect the car back at 4pm.
