Always good to support small businesses. However when they go into liquidation next year we shall know why!

I note for Aviva have managed to shift their loss making RAC..

http://www.aviva.com/media/news/item/20 ... lts-16983/
Operating profit (including restructuring costs) was down 10% to £935 million1 (HY11: £1,035 million) as a result of the sale of RAC, adverse foreign exchange movements, the adverse impact of recent UK weather and higher restructuring costs as we implement the strategic plan. Interim operating profit before restructuring costs was down 2% to £1,121 million. Thank God we got shot of the RAC. That bloody 'Aladinsane' was costing us a fortune..

Just watching K's v-twin I hope he's got his RAC card, doesn't look healthy at all!

Yes, I shall have to get a better one.. that cylinder's firing is very poorly.
cant decide if it's a dodgy electrical fault.. actually looking at it one of the cams is shagged.

I dont have RAC.. I have my own van and also bike trailer.. and a missus to drive it if needed..

Well, got to Norfolk & back with no tyre problems at all. Still puzzled - I can only think the valve had a bit of crud in it, which was blown out when I blew the tyre up.
