    Bridge Classic Cars Comp for 1991 Bi-Turbo Spyder E

    Anyone feeling lucky? 1:4000 chance if it sells out, better if it doesn't. Compare that to about 1:148,000,000 on the Euromillions, I'd say they are good odds. Comp link £5 a ticket and if you sign up this evening, add the coupon 'Spyder' for 15% off that. Good luck

    Van security - options?

    Last week overnight a toerag decided he wanted what was in my van more than I did! Fortunately the deadlock as standard with the high spec VW T6 worked and prevented his impious designs. Not it has to be said before he had caused around £500 of damage to the side door and handle! So I always...
