Had an interesting experience with Carole Nash last year come renewal time. Renewal was a smidge under £300.

What road is this? Place names? I can't seem to find it on my map? cheers, Corners

So I decided to take a back seat on this foreign sortee and not spend my whole time pandering to all my mates whims and organising everything for them....again!

So I thought I was off to the Picos region but we appear to be staying in Vigo which is on the north east coast of Spain and about 6hrs ...
