doesnt matter where you live. Bit of discount on some tyres is always a win. See if you can setup a group buy!

you forgot to mention when it gets cold at night all 3 of us snuggle up and spoon in your single bed, suprised Tom hasn't expressed his true feelings for our time together - as he often is the one who initiates.
