Frost, or just the general accumulated muck on the back of the car this weather.

998,854 In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and productivity from employees, it will be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our program of Special High Intensity Training (S.H.I.T). We are trying to give employees more S.H.I.T than anyone else. If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T on the job, please see your manager. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T list, and our managers are especially skilled at seeing that you get all the S.H.I.T you can handle. Employees who do not take their S.H.I.T will be placed in the Departmental Employee Evaluation Programme (D.E.E.P S.H.I.T) Those who fail to take D.E.E.P S.H.I.T seriously will have to go to Employee Attitude Training (E.A.T S.H.I.T).

Mine arrived today – thanks and happy Christmas.

That looks like a 300 SportCross to me - you're obviously a man of taste. Welcome!

I'm glad you're not a doctor..........!

I filled up with petrol last night and as I pulled away lost the back end big time, which really took me by surprise. Then I worked it out – I’d just driven past the exit from the car wash and the whole area was one big sheet of ice. I really ought to have spotted that hazard. :iraqi-info-minister:

Hope things are getting better, Rob.

99.9p at Asda in Derby is the cheapest I have seen these past few days. Compared with some areas, that seems quite cheap! Apparently, the protests are to start again at the weekend.

BT's fine here in Derby, although we went through a really bad patch a month or so ago when it was almost impossible to get a decent Broadband connection. Tonight, I’ve got 3.2Meg, but at times it was down to 872k – not what I paid for!

......... the volume control to zero and said.........

I reckon Jack is absolutely spot on with that info - especially when he says it's a great car! The Parkers link for the SportCross also only lists the variations as with/without the sat nav. Happy hunting, Peter.

...there was a flash and a bang and all the lights went off……

Hello, and welcome. The 300 SportCross is a brilliant car - you will not regret buying one. BRINK do a removable tow bar for the IS300 SportCross – I had one fitted to mine soon after I bought it, primarily as the mounting for a mountain bike carrier but it very occasionally gets used for towing a light trailer. I can’t remember how much it cost just at the moment, but the memory banks might drag up the number later on. Indespension’s Derby branch fitted mine in about 3 hours, but that's not very close to Switzerland, sorry!

I'll second that! Great looking car.

You've been reading too much Harry Potter, Jamie!

Indeed, sorry to hear that news - unsurprising as it probably is.
