Getting Used

Well, today I was about to go to sleep and then I remebered that I forgot something. It was my day blogpost, for the happiness of my readers :)

Today there is no basic story, except that I now almost gave up in changing my car for a newer one. I took it to a mechanic that said that there is a way to sort out the problems (without spending more than I payed the car). Actually it will gonna be cheaper than I expected.

After some googling (and now froogling), I found a way to change both front tyres for less than £60,00 (fitted), which people asked me no less than £135 to do in the normal way. The trick is to buy the tyres you want on the website (www.mytyres.co.uk, or search in www.froogle.co.uk), send the tyres to a local fitter, and then take your car there. The tyres costed £18 and the fitting £11,50 each. I bought the tyres, now I need to take the car there next week. My odissey with the car continues, since I will have to find the cheappest way to make an oilchange in the next 600 miles.

They asked for something able to play any kind of media, and that was able to play on-line content such as youtube. I wrote them and e-mail to include Xbox Media Center in teh next edition of TWIT, lets see...
