Yes, of course once again Paul, your expertise in making me see sense is noted

Yourself and your knowledge will be a massive miss to the marque but as allready said in so many posts your family must come first. Take care, don't be a stranger, and if ever I can help you in any way just give me a call.

Don't be so soft I'm just sorry it took me so long


Right though, back to the thorny issue at hand, Mrs Marinabrian has said I am like a bear with a sore head, (and even more difficult to live with than usual if that is possible)

I spent a good portion of the day yesterday in the very enjoyable company of one KBonney88 a man very much after my own heart when it comes to cars.

My faith in human nature had taken a good knock over the past few weeks, which had culminated in the straw that broke the camels back, some idiot who had telephoned me in the early hours of Saturday morning (02.30)to quiz me as to my thoughts as why his MGZS was reluctant to start, after been given my number from somebody on FaceTwit

My day yesterday with Kev, cheered me up no end, and reminded me exactly why I do what I do.

I haven't had a chance to read and reply to all of the P.M.s I've received, even if they do contain pictures of far superior cars Mick

So where does that leave me?.....well one day at a time for the moment, and see what 2015 really does bring.

Time for some long hard thinking, not that Mrs MB is telling me to do anything you understand

Thanks again to everyone for their kind words and thought, and note to oneself "Christ's sake stop feeling sorry for yourself you Geordie tart".

All the very best everyone

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said Brian.

You're a true gent that regularly goes way beyond the norm in every way, not just with the magic wand.

As you say; take one day at a time remembering that your family is way more important.

My best regards to you.

Brian,

I know of a landline telephone system which can be programmed to silence the ringer between the hours the user selects. That would enable you to get a good night's sleep. Let me know if you want details.

Good luck with whatever 2015 brings for you and a large thank you for all the questions I have asked you through PM and you always willingly answered, you are a true stalwart when it comes to our cars, also a very hard working man and a true gent I to you.

I think anyone would have gone bonkers at 2:30AM - that's ridiculous!
