@glos guy i hadnt thought of that i may have a word with them tommorrow.
@tharg i admit my thoughts are similar to yours i do like the security of the scheme an we have similar taste, i had a 200sx at one time it was fun as was the 3r mini that preceded this countryman. but both were preceded by a mk1 toyota mr2 the car i kept longer than any other and still regret parting with.
none of which i could get in now, well i might get in, getting out would require surgery lol.
