Muchas Gracias

First of all thanks to Dean and Dianne for all their sterling work at my place yesterday and there's a night out for a ruby murray in the not too distant future (that means after my overhaul) for them and Dean's mum and dad, Mick and Jan too.
Now, what's been happening????
My son Danny has been learning to drive and I've been letting him drive the cab for short distances with no problems so far.....until Saturday night. He drove back home, with me in the back and put it on the drive a bit skewiff so I told him to correct it. What does he do? Accidentally whacks his foot down on the throttle and drives it into the front of the house, demolishing the poor gas meter and it's little house and cracking all the rendering and God knows what other damage to the property. Then theres my poor cab. Not even a year old and it's seen more action than the British Army in Iraq. This time the bumper took most of the impact and theres a bit of damage on the front panel but I rang up JV BRight's today, which is a Taxi Parts Dealer and they said about £300 should cover the bit's I need so I'll be doing some serious shifts to get all the money together these next few days.
After all the plastering work done here yesterday theres crap everywhere so I'm off to do a bit of cleaning. ta ra!!!!
