Default Maybe I should do the lottery today.

I've been looking for a replacement chrome cover for one of VeeKay's mirrors and Les has been looking out for one.

However, I've just spoken to the parts manager of my local ex MG-R dealership who told me that he has a pair of them, brand new and in their boxes.

I asked him for a price and he said "Glad to get rid of the damned things - taking up valuable store space - nobody's ever likely to want to buy them - you can have them."

He's even going to drop them off at my house on his way home from work tonight

To use the modern patois; How lucky is that?
