All in all good fun, so I even started our own little X111.com alliance.
So add me on Facebook and we can play!

(pps. WordPress 2.5’s image uploader sucks donkey dick, I need a plugin to revert to the old one)

Last week 4 new relais for 320 euros.
Yesterday the car got broken into, window smashed in and the Mio satnav stolen.
Today the car’s at the garage for a 30000km big checkup and to have the window replaced, total amount to be determined…
The fun never ends.
