You have a complex life, there's space in my garage if need it  :smiley:
Hope your toe recovers quickly  :wink:

Many thanks for the offer.
My life is quite simple but I have a habit of buying too many things without forethought and end up with problems of similar complexity. I'll work something out, no doubt.

As for the toe, it's hanging and I'll have to tape it to the next one. Very painful. :cry:
I don't know how I'm going to take the three grand kids shopping tomorrow. We are supposed to go out for the day.

Hartside: Brilliant option. They will collect and deliver. Perfect.

Snoops: I showed them this stacking option and they looked at me as if there was a very rancid smell in the room.

Neil: It is bloody painful. The ex-wife is driving me around today and providing me lots of TLC or something like that. Have to be careful as she is part-German! Sorry to hear about your lock.

Happy Boxing Day!

Well, she is fed-up with the Merc 350 CDI Sport Auto on Continentals slipping and sliding around. Wishes she had bought a FWD car or a 4WD like the R. The previous Alfa 164 gas guzzler had 4WD and there were on issues with it. We are buying winter tyres for the Merc today, the same ones as mine!
I suggested a foot up her and she is seriously thinking about it. :evil: NOT!

Thanks Snoops.
I will get the bags and store the Monzas in them. Get eight, four myself and four for the old bag! Not true the last quip, as she is quite stunning and perfectly formed in every way. Brilliant too.

So we are bagging this afternoon and not dogging! :evil: :grin:

I love this forum for all the information and help it provides.

You can buy the bags on german ebay for many different makes. So im sure theers some Merc ones on there. There is also unbranded ones too. So she had a 164 cloverleaf then since it was 4wd. nice.
