We found a couple of bugs in the last release which were slowing down the app, so we fixed them! As always, we love hearing from you, if you have any feedback or features you would like to see in the app, get in touch with us at enquiries@totalcarcheck.co.uk Happy Total Car Checking! p.s. because you made it here, you are rewarded with a poem by the wonderful Anne Sexton... Just Once Just once I knew what life was for. In Boston, quite suddenly, I understood; walked there along the Charles River, watched the lights copying themselves, all neoned and strobe-hearted, opening their mouths as wide as opera singers; counted the stars, my little campaigners, my scar daisies, and knew that I walked my love on the night green side of it and cried my heart to the eastbound cars and cried my heart to the westbound cars and took my truth across a small humped bridge and hurried my truth, the charm of it, home and hoarded these constants into morning only to find them gone.
