A friend has had excellent service from Green Flag, they came to his rescue when a wheel fell off in France whilst he was on his way out to his home in Italy, arranged all transportation and car hire within a few hours, he was very impressed with them.

Deet based all the time, Skin so Soft did nothing to help me, and in the warmer months Deet goes on in the morning with a top-up in the evening, or after showers, plus plug ins in the house, eek had forgotten the downside to life in Italy!. Interesting though re blood types, another O here.

I think you need to make friends with a local garage, who will be the person who MOTs and services your car, and fixes any other problems you may have, they should also have the facility for supplying and fitting your winter tyres and storing as appropriate to the season, there are people on this forum closer to Amandola than us, hopefully they can advise.
