Advanced Driving Hub

after a short while, I found that I no longer missed the visual display at all. I can manage without the voice but not without the visuals. Likewise. A boing is helpful for alerting.

Just use my name as Gareth does. On other forums I usually use jcreiki or johnreiki. A nod to one of a number of healing modalities I'm qualified in. To be honest they're basically all the same thing..channelling energy.
