Regular readers will know that I’m er, very attentive to keeping my vehicles clean and when John’s daughter, Amanda, who runs Spautopia, contacted me to see if I fancied trying it out, I didn’t need asking twice.
As it happened I was planning to do some work of a More >
LITTLE BATTERY; BIG PERFORMANCE
Mar 1st
