Ok,
Now booked in for Monday, the 23rd July with the private garage run by Massimo (my work colleague's friend). He's going to charge me approximately £40 per side (so £80 total, give or take a few pounds). So I've now got it booked in, and for cheaper than I'd originally expected!
So happy... must.... control.... exuberant... self..... it feels like an early Christmas!
All the best,
Andrew.
