This is the kerb the MX5 couldn't handle without snapping it's suspension. It's hardly the bloody north face of the Eiger. Just further proof that this bastard car absolutely detests me.

I'm confused by it too, and I'm part of it. I got a little video of the CUL8R BAL moment, but that's as far as he got before turning round and complaining of funny suspension noises and potential sharp broken spring to tyre interface worries. Wuss. VID_20200223_160332.mp4

After dropping the purple throbbing Honda off with you I started to think that you just never see HRVs about anymore. Then this happened. It's great to see you're enjoying it. My fingers, legs, toes and eyes are crossed for the forthcoming MOT.

I'm not going to spoil the surprise but I can confirm that this afternoon none of the above happened. And that cars are rubbish.

I can grab them for you Tim.

If you trust anything I've touched to get you home then you're more of an idiot than I am.

Yeah I just go wherever the little prick tells me to. On the plus side, he did give me my first wage packet today.

I'm not sure if it's an industry standard, but I know with BCA that after something has been through one auction and not sold they can tell you what the reserve is and you can buy it for that, or get them to send a derisory offer to the seller.

Thanks for the offers of shitelying me back southwards but it's easy enough just to squeeze myself into a sticky seat aboard the brandy bus or whatever. I can walk it if need be, I've nowt better to do for the next month or two.

Yeah, I can run it up the road no worries. Now if Stanky could do the decent thing and buy a car in Scotland, that would save on BFH.

That has sparked much jealousy. This was the ceiling of my home yesterday morning.

I really liked that 850. I bought it in July-ish for about £700 with the intention of tinting the windows and using it as a (much needed) mobile home. Of course a few weeks later I agreed to swap it for an equally practical MX5 with Snagglepuss. It then did a tour of Scotland on the way up to Accrington, in utter comfort. Here's a few pics from my time with it (August). As Snagglepuss says, the alloys (knackered) are no longer with it but I reckon it looks grand on the steelies and winter tyres he put on it.

That used to be such a pretty little AX.
