AntiFreeze Colours
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:04:38 +0000
Always get a bit jittery when it comes to winter and plumetting
temperatures so looking to change my coolant sooner rather than later.

OT speeding fine
Sat, 24 Oct 2009 23:04:39 +0100
Well it is car related ..

possibility of speed awareness classes or a warning letter instead of a fine
