20th June Great British Car Journey, quite local to me in Ambergate. Gives me an excuse to visit the new attraction. https://sciroccoregister.co.uk/events/

That's a cracking colour. We went to the national Scirocco meet in ours about 10 years ago. There were just 54 cars and no-one spoke to me. I'm going again this year!

I've posted this picture before, but here it is again in response to the big car little car thing...

Your daughter don't half look like she's got the measure of you & your stupid idea of fun!

And in further exciting news. Although they've agreed to agree a value, they've decided that the maximum is £20,000 as opposed to the 30k I've had for the last 2 years and 25k for however long before that. Worth arguing the toss?

So what?

Have you all seen this? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/money/2024/apr/06/uk-car-insurance-cost-up-by-third-despite-smaller-rise-in-payouts Only in the UK has car insurance gone mental.

Brand new* and young* driver? Me, 161 earth years old in 45yr old van , little change. The big test comes in July with 87 Scirocco & 944 and 02 Rover 75 on same policy.

How old? Reading stuff on here suggests old vehicles suffer little change. Newer cars - mindfuck!

Renewed today, turns out it's 3,000 mpa. But tbh that was more than enough for the isle of Skye and Cornwall.

Apologies for shit post but it looks a fucking bargain and I'm on my phone that I can barely use. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/433361725875654?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

I have no idea, when is the next bank holiday?

Nipped down to the Malt Shovel but spotted some old motors outside the New Inn, so went there instead. A Rapier! 1,100 twin cam with pre selector gearbag. One of just 46 built. Popped in the pub, barmaid a bit thin in a black T shirt... And then another appeared. All of four foot eight in a white T shirt with pneumatic breasts. I'd swear that they swelled up as she pulled the bitter. So I had a second pint to check.

Is that displayed on one of those old Airfix bases to make it look like it's flying?
