wuvvum Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just nipped out to post a letter, walking back up my road there was a deer casually strolling along the opposite pavement. It stopped and looked at me for a while, then wandered on down the road for a bit and stopped to nom the verge. First time I've seen that in over ten years of living here. chodweaver, gm, Ghosty and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraMikeHotel Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I haven't actually driven the Saab very much, apart from the trip to Ostend, and so I hadn't really bonded with it yet. I was even considering swapping it. I did a really good A and B road blat last night though and loved every minute of it. Perfect weather, an interesting mix of roads, and I barely saw another car. Really, really good fun at the end of a bit of a stressful day. Saabnut and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ah, interesting - I was looking at these very things yesterday. The Celica has a double-din slot in the dashboard and the Sony X-plod stereo is, ummm, uncooperative? I was looking at a replacement, but for the same price I could have this piece of shiny tat instead. Am i right that it does normal FM radio, Bluetooth, music or video from an SD card or USB and a few others things but not GPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angle Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I think that's right, yeah - I mostly use a USB stick or the aux input, but no AM radio and I don't think it has GPS. It's a bit fiddly to use, but it works well enough to drown out the rattly trim and wind noise where the drivers window doesn't close properly...

dozeydustman Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Furniture & bulky waste collections today. Made a pleasant change as not running around like an idiot in this poxy humid weather. Collected 3 sofas from the Vicarage in Southbourne near Chichester. Vicar (a young hipster chap) comes out with a cup of tea for each of us, a plate of biscuits and a tin of coke each to drink later on. He was also wearing a Ron Swanson t-shirt for added win. A free tea & biscuits + Swanson cheered me up for we had a bad start to the day. Vicar was also a very nice bloke catsinthewelder, chodweaver, yellowperil and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Had a Sierra shape P100 in for retest today.It's got a big old Truckman nudge bar on the front that looks like it's been used for purpose.Hand rollered khaki green and the tailgate chains are bare so when I stopped in the workshop it clanged loudly.James from Practicals walked by just at that moment."Oooh,look a P100" and starts taking photos.The noise from the chains made one of the mechanics nextdoor come round too. Ha, we get some flash cars in here but an old shitbox of a pick up is here for a 15 minute retest and two people stop what they are doing to take phone photos. brandersnatch, The Moog, John F and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was cruising home in the Laurel today when I saw a Renault 20 coming the other way. I'm 99.9% sure it was this one as previously photographed by Trigger: https://flic.kr/p/8T5dKS Can't be many other brown A-reg 20s with alloy wheels, can there? All those holidays in France, several thousand photos and no sign of a 20 yet, then I see one just a few miles from home.

Stanky Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 When I was a youth and went to music festivals we always bought army rations from the local army surplus shop to take with us and eat, they look a bit unappetising but everything tasted amazing, whether it was hot or cold. The chocolate pudding was really good, and they did another thing which was fruit dumplings in a sort of custard-y sauce. One packet was always enough, I genuinely lolled at Nyphur's chocolate pudding binge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
