Aspires are just a face lifted Kia Pride.

Plans afoot to do just that.

I got to drive two USDM cars yesterday. A 1996 Ford Aspire and a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis. Still buzzing! The Mercury was the car I really wanted to drive. It rocks when you blip the throttle! Nor does it seem monstrously big but that’s maybe because it’s on a big American driveway. It doesn’t seem particularly fast but it’s hugely characterful. It wonders quite a bit even at low speeds but corners relatively flat. It seems inconsistent. Sometimes floaty, sometimes not. It rides pretty well but shudders still get through to your bum at times. The Aspire drives like filth by comparison. Any attempt to go round a corners above parking speeds and the steering goes horribly heavy. A real set in concrete feel. Something is very wrong in the sensors somewhere as it starts to die the second you put any load on it. The manual gearbox was fine. About the only good thing about it. It was hard work to drive. It felt as if it had to be manhandled everywhere. Loved every minute of it! Also the remains of what I think is a 40s Chevrolet upside down in a wood.

Me and my pal from Crieff came down in our ZR and Polo. I was somewhat surprised by the You Tubers. I had expected a couple of the big names but not roving bands of the creatures. Old tat channels must be reaching saturation point. I greatly admired Colin Corkes Princess. Meeting the Allegro bloke off The Cars of the Stars was enough celebrity for me.

I was there with my dad. There was a time when Border car shows resembled something from Craggy Island. It's more like a music festival now.

What is it with women in their 30s. In my teens ot 20s if you didn't fancy someone you told them, harsh words were sometimes exchanged and you went your separate ways. Now lasses im my demographic ask me to reconsider the decision and question the validity of my decision making process. Since when has that been acceptable to pressurise or manipulate people into a relationship. Maybe I'm not being clear enough, but I thought "I don't fancy you" was pretty damn unambiguous. What's next? Tell her I don't fancy a sack of spuds.

Wish granted sort of. This appeared on my FB feed on a Scrapyards from the good old days Group. I'm no expert but it looks like a Harper Mk6. I was intrigued enough by the rakish lines to go digging on the net till I got a match. Only downside is it doesn't say where it is except it's in a field. I guess you could message the guy that posted it.
