  4. That’s pretty poor Kev, on Toyotas part to say the least, I’ve only had the pleasure of using them once a few years back on a recall issue so naturally asked for a courtesy vehicle and like you tried to give me a car, ask the manager for a truck so I could at least go to work but got the response of”well a courtesy vehicle is our courtesy to you and we don’t do like for like “ so all I could do at the time was go in on a Saturday morning and wait for it to be done.

  10. I’ve had my little TW125 for just over 8yrs now but the machine is 16yrs old now. Perfect for what I need it for just requires a little tlc from time to time.
