He is the best when it comes to finding a good mechanic and a cheap cars. He even sold us an old Fiat from his fleet of rental cars when we were looking for an old beater for my husband to get back and forth to work. Oh and I have learned that if duct tape or tylenol can't fix it, then you're pretty much screwed ;) The first thing my husband and I did when we moved here (besides finding a house) was make friends with the local rent a car man.

I carry some around with me all the time in my Lada. Are you with the AA or RAC? They're pretty expensive but save you the headache on breakdowns. Hi A in B,
