    Yes I know I thought the same, maybe we will if we get time before coffee and doughnuts.

    Passenger window is fixed already, that was good going. Thanks Autoglass and the insurers who I can't remember as OH deals with the insurance on that car.

      Sadly, the thieving scum barstewards are only after a fiver or so for their next fix - that's all they care about. They neither know nor care about the technical spec or the cost of your window - "He's insured......"

        Why don't chavs just sniff glue? So much cheaper for everyone, Shirley?

            I suppose there is a downside to this level of safety when chavs nick the car.
            I always remember this advert playing in the cinema (in the UK despite it say it saying it is an Australian ad):

            As it happens my Mum was smoking about in a 420SEL until last year.

                I hope they do but if your window has been fixed the aforementioned daffodil could claim possible contamination of the DNA sample. The rozzers will know who has done it though.

                    In the hierarchy of users, even the glue sniffers look down on furniture polish users.

                      Could be worse. My brother-in-law died earlier in the year, and a couple of months later some kids stole his prized 1960s Saab from my sister and torched it.
                      I would be surprised if kids had done it. The door locks on the old SAABs are quite tricky to pick and the gear changes are not like floor shift.
