Congratulations on the retirement! Looking forward to plenty of project updates as you work through the collection.

That massively gives me the horn. We're moving soon and it would make an excellent moving van.

With that rust story and your history I'm going Jag. I think an XJ or S-type would "look old", but I don't think it's special enough. Maybe a cheap XK8? -
Ah the JBB. Where I studied medicine. Memories of monumental hangovers.

Lots of big estates thrown up around Chepstow in the 90s/00s. Will have changed a lot.

We are currently. The house we viewed was in Shirenewton, but we didn't actually like it. Smaller than in pictures, lower quality renovation and generally felt cramped. Viewing somewhere else in Chepstow next week. Quite fancy running a Severn Estuary shiters meet for people in Somerset/ Gloucestershire/ Monmouthshire/ Welsh valleys.

Sumitomo are generally ok, but I think Falken are their premium brand. Mytyres.co.uk has Uniroyals at Β£100. https://www.mytyres.co.uk/rshop/tyre/Uniroyal/RainSport-5/225-55-R16-95V/R-402375

Check it is that before fixing. My old Octavia with the same engine was making a racket on start up. Thought it was the air pump so replaced it with a new one. Still making a noise. Turned out that the pumps lack of puff had led the solenoid in the manifold to stick closed, and that was a sufficient arse to replace that I flogged it instead.

Viewing a house tomorrow with the strong intent of buying. Current place has a decent big garage (1930s) but all other parking is on street, on a hill and permitted. Coupled with maintenance and renovations on the house and it limits shite owning and tinkering to one in the garage and two legally on the street. New place is mostly renovated (so less time from me) and has an integral garage, a 3 car drive, and a front lawn that MrsCoprolalia has already requested is part converted to gravel drive so that "you don't block my car in". Should give space for 6 cars total...

After this I kind of stopped taking photos. Various things happened in La Paz meaning nothing really shocked us, and we were busy going with the flow rather than sticking to a plan. e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jul/08/bolivia-bans-tourists-entering-jail I think these were in Cuzco, Peru This was a typical Bolivian bus. As a 6'5" guy, I didn't fit. This was somewhere in Brazil (according to my notes). That's all folks. Aim to return to Bolivia and Argentina one day.

We crossed the high altiplano and Andes range between Chile and Bolivia at the Estacion Avaroa border, then drove across the high desert. Quite like the trip they did on Top Gear, but on tuppence budget. The steed for this was this old Landcruiser. We had a few halts where we ran low on fuel and the local driver had to refill from carried supplies. Very low oxygen content in the air due to the altitude. Drove through a few towns like this, Julaca:

The Welsh colony towns of Trelew and Gaiman in Argentina Ushuaia, Southern Argentina Valparaiso, Chile And because this will be of interest to some on here, trolleybuses
