    That's why I've been quite wary of these 'convenient' payment methods - not, as some would have you believe, hat I'm some kind of technological "Luddite" - so I'll be keeping a beady eye on my bank statements etc... Never been on EBAY though.
    eBay is fantastic you get some cracking deals

    It is but it's impossible to track the source when things go wrong. I was getting increasingly threatening letters from an (apparent) debt collection agency over payments that I hadn't (had) paid for an item. With my seller having bought from another person in France (alledgedly the 'client' of the debt collector) I couldn't tell who was being dishonest or attempting fraud or whether it was a genuine mistake. Haven't used ebay since.
    sorry

    Chris, why is JOHN BARROWMAN standing next to your car?
    Is he doing a Swansong benefit gig?

    Thought I'd update this a little bit! Things are moving well!

    Grand Am have featured my news twice on their site in the last week which is amazing!!!

    http://www.grand-am.com/News/GA_News...cid=6384&sid=2

    also check out https://www.facebook.com/MINISwansong2012 to see a vid of my helmet showing the NMS logo!

    you guys have shown me a lot of support over the years and I've met some cool people on this site so I thought it was only fair to add the NMS logo to my helmet

    Also if you haven't liked that page could you hit like
