Will also charge a couple more quid an hour to learn in that compared to some other cars, which will help the running costs

thats where i thought, one of the building says public baths on them? i think i saw this a while back actually joining the a500 up to hanley..
bit off topic but did any of you local lads see the escort on sunday night? on the a500? was totally fubarred, looked like the drivers side front wheel had given up, was facing right out pretty much in the drivers door, was police guiding people round it
