Sloth in a bowl

There seemed to be multiple Kia Pride thermostat housings on a Google search e.g. https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/209545190?type=shopping I can't remember if you need the 2 bolt or 3 bolt pattern (I think my Pride was a 2 bolt job) or if the water hose is straight out or a side mount, but I saw multiple variants in the search results.

No compatable Kia part I assume either.

I wish, done it 3 times, always good, but the Slothlet is still a bit to young for that sort of weekend.

He had one of the big door stickers and it was a Renault Kangoo so fairly classic Uber vehicle.

And an Escort in a pear tree* *Tree may not have pears

Was walking back from a meal out when I hear the sound of a vehicle with a flat tyre behind me. It passes by and pulls up about 50m ahead, left rear as flat as a supermodel. As I walk past, I spot the big Uber sticker and realise that the idiot at the wheel was there to pick up his fare. I mean Uber have some low standards, but that is taking the piss.

Spotted by Mrs Sloth in Coalford today.

Correct, give that man a rusty wheel nut.

Been to memorial service at church then come home to read all this. I am doubly sad. I have some of the sheets as paper still, but others were scanned and binned. Will that spring clear out come to haunt me in the years to come In all the auctions at Cannock 3 cars tempted me to bid on them. A Proton Satira GTi with a hole in the driver's seat, a red Alfa 147 2.0 and something that was bright yellow, Japanese and had a 1.3 turbo, but I can't remember the make or model offhand. All 3 were in the £300 to £400 bracket at the hammer.

You really shouldn't let the horse shit in the car.

If somebody had just said. The line is how fast you are going, the differential is your acceleration or braking and the integral is how far you have traveled then calculous would have been far easier for me to grasp as a student.

I remember when the front pipe on my Laguna 1 cracked somewhere near the manifold joint. It started as nicely rorty and seamed happier to rev. As the pipe failed further, it got too loud and very unpleasant.

Just started. I have a lightened Vauxhall Viva. Fil, da powor.

Rover SD1. You could do a lot with that V8 and have endless fun* playing chase the gremlin with the rest of the vehicle.

The Slothlet is a one watering can wrong'un

A lovely guy to speak to. My condolences to all his family.

Wind broke a window next door and turned our Holly tree into a Holly bush. Been meaning to get rid of that tree for a while so yippee.

Gone already. People in Norwich know a shite bargain when they see it.

The Skoda is fine for Birmingham and Leeds. I commute into Birmingham city centre 4 days a week and by far the quickest way into the city is to cycle. The only time that I drive in is if I am picking up Mrs Sloth or dropping her off and then only well away from the rush hour. The A38 can make a useful cut through, especially if the ring road is screwed somewhere from an accident or roadworks. The council should be a lot more aware of the mess that closing that road to a load of traffic will make.

My alarm bells would be more ringing from the lack of a towing eye cover on the ovlov. I know some of the Volvo 2 litre engines like to suddenly lose their coolant and cook themselves, I don't know if that model is so afflicted.

Lets start with a download of the auction catalogue:

Currently sorting out the Slothlet for bed. I will go through the auction scores once zzzzzzs have been achieved.

Present for Mr Beko

If you want something of the same level(ish) then there is a brewers fayre a mile along the A5.
