This thing comes and goes from this local car park. Or at least it is not always in the same spot. Always has a valid car park ticket - MOT, not so much. Impressive list of 3 "do not drive" and 10 "repair immediately" defects - none for corrosion though. Good job as it is quite loaded.

Snap , papped this one back in June, 

The inside looks like everyday is a tip-run day , but it is always the same shite

Hovercraft to the Isle of Wight, then ferry to Lymington, New Forest , much nicer apart from caravantwats

Fkin roasting in Horsham, wish it would rain , can't remember the last decent downpour

Don't you mean smaller

You beat me to it , I was just about to check specifications, I had a 132 seemed lovely for a second car until I looked underneath. 

Local scrappy had a 130 back in late 80s , great place to shelter when it pissed down, every time I went there .

The way it's sitting arse end down looks like it's already full with a couple of bodies in concrete boots ready to launch into a deep river

I had a Magnum , never fixed it ,PO had smacked in lower arms and assorted other bits, scrapped it , ran well just not in a straight line 😕

Where would that be 🤔🤔

Rhubarb contains oxalic acid, stewing some will probably clean your copper pans too.

Would that work on some old pennies , ranging from very worn 1860 up to a bit battered 1967 🤔

merc as a hire car

Yup. Know the cause, if anyone's interested.

So was it the gas that caused the slight bang 

Are commercial tumble dryers gas powered heat ?

Thanks for the input, guys.  I will admit to being a bit* wary of buying used, having been bitten in the past.  Think I'll wait to see what @mitsisigma01 turns up...

Sorry,took me forever to even find the link this was in ....

Good news, bad news ...

I've 2 boxes of camera stuff...

I've found one box....

Not the right box🤬🤬🤬

Other news .. I'm sure it is an Olympus.... just not sure what model ...

Had a fkin shit weekend caring for my elderly neighbour, I'm sure the "carers" supplied by the SS are trying their best to kill her off , absolute incompetent 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I'm still looking for the other box , Mrs says she hasn't touched it ....bs 

🤞🤞
