When I purchased my car new in '09 it came with 40,000 miles of carbon offset. Do they still do that Question MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

The trees are screening a new building, ontop of a 60m deep borehole giving me and the chickens an endless supply of free water. No more £4500 p.a. water bills Very Happy At work
