That's how all good workshops should behave. Been taking my Alfas to the same old bloke for 12 years - he's been in business for 40, and that's exactly how he (and his sons) operates.

“Oooh I lav maself a lan rover” - Always comes into my head for some reason no idea where I got it from. But yeah I love discos, DEFENDERS, standard Range Rovers (any gen from 1st till now), RR sports, especially 1st gen, and 1st gen evoques especially the most pointless, stupid, nonsensical convertible one. Back in 2012 my 1st car was gonna be a lovely 96 Disco I found for £600 until I saw the insurance costs for a 17 year old, at the time “student and voice actor”. Ended up with a leased a Hyundai i10 from my mom instead. :/ Not. Bad car but badly built at the time, the mirrors lost the adjustment within months and the mirror part would just fall down and need constant adjustment. What I really wanted was my moms old car I begged her not to scrap it in 09, it was a 1993 Purple Audi 100 Estate, I loved that car. Same with the one she replaced it with which was an 08 Estima imported from Japan recently scrapped due to f’innUles and replaced with some boring mid range Toyota… >\ I think I got distracted where was I?
