This is probably something for that 'putting things off thread' on ILE really. That and some weird problem I have of not admitting mistakes to my parents because they'll just go on about how it's just like some thing I did when I was a kid and I'll never learn. Much better to put myself through complete agony and say nothing (see also doing and pretty much failing a degree that I realised wasn't for me after 2 weeks).
Anyway. I can see this coming in at at least £300. Someone please steal my car, or drive into it or something.

Ah, less than £200. At least the more it costs, the more I'll appreciate that cut in VAT. And it really did need new shocks, I can feel that the back end actually touches the road now.
