Oh well the Range Rover has gone, one of the belt tensioners sheared off, so rather than get it fixed, it sold, with a tiny profit, so I replaced it with an ancient BMW 318. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the biggest pigs I had ever bought, lets just say attempting to have a discussion about the accuracy of an advert is rather difficult at 10pm in an abandonded industrial estate, so shortly I will be carless, as it is going straight to scrap.
After getting directions to 'the road', I just could not find it, I remember Melton Road in Leic, and Green Lane in Ilford, and they are both long roads full of shops, but all I could find on this road were car dealerships. Eventually I asked an Indian chap, and was given more directions, turns out it is not full of shops, it has just the one. But that was fine, 30 frozen samosas later, I was heading back to the pick up point. Having got there 5 mins early, I went round the block to find 'the road', they had everything, kebabs, curry, samosa shops, the lot, and all along it had been round the corner from where I started.
