hi people , still driving and boy do I love it , today got a call from the car company telling me that my car is due a service and could I bring it up to ballyrobert , told her hope I find it as it will be my first time coming up there .

I have tried to find a route by using google maps but it was no use cant find one dreading it . just hope the sat nav works well that day .

hazel is in a lot of pain in her back the mri showed a lot of wear and tear.

mike JR never complains about his leg, but I can see it in his face he is in pain.
all the best

    Hi Mike have you got a post code for the garage?, and what about Google street view?, I've used it to find my mates house in Swindon the other month, Google maps showed the post code for an area near his place but I knew it was wrong so I went to satelite and looked for a house with a swimming pool in the back garden as I knew he had one, when I found it I then went to street view and from the street I could see his car parked on his drive!, I also used street view to check out the junctions I would need to take to get there and it worked a treat.

    I was on a scouting trip to find the car company and guess what I found it , goolge map was giving out the wrong address the car company had moved , the sat nav lead me down a dead end kept on saying "TO A U TURN" and when I did "IT SAID IT AGAIN ,in the end went to a car shop and asked the way , and bingo I found it .

    Sat-navs are not all they are cracked up to be, don't rely on it too much Mike. A young girl was killed recently driving through a red light because her sat-nav was telling her to go straight on.

    I am so pleased you are enjoying your driving, it is fun isn't it? I am so sorry to read that Hazel is not doing too well and as for your lad, what a brave chap he is. What about you, Mike? How are YOU? DD
