Nah, I just replaced the cat, standard exhaust. The skid plates are good in case I drive over anything low, but considering I have the ride height of a Land Rover I'd have to drive over a stood-up policeman to clout the silencers !
Micra ! Good God man, although my wife has now passed her test and as the insurance company laughed like a drain down the phone at her we are off searching at the weekend for a cheap and cheerful eco box for the daily slog to work and back (she works at the same company). Handily that will reduce the Evo fuel/service bill and wear and tear a lot. Phew.
It wasn't the same company, so I don;t think they are snaffling for more cash - but I'm not impressed with my normal servicing place. The car has been mis-diagnosed and I have gained two scratches on the front wing and a chip on a bonnet vent. Grrr.
I'm always paranoid about noises

and I really want my garage back. I was all set to put the interior trim and stuff into the MG when the kitchen arrived. Most has been fitted, but some needs to go back. And I have a spare bloody cooker and dishwasher in there now. Not to mention the old living room carpet. Arse !
I shall probably see you at the rolly road day then, so long as trevor gets enough interest to run.
Cheerio,
TonyC
