I've put 15 miles on it pootling about this afternoon. It's starting to grow on me. The exhaust is terrible though and spoils the experience imo.

People with solutions or bespoke on their van invariably don't know what they're doing. There was a 'Bespoke Boilers' van around this area. How the fuck is a boiler bespoke? Does he make them from scratch himself. Fair play if he does.

Charged the battery overnight and it fired first click. We were very surprised. Not sure what to do with it now.

I have a 16 year old audi a4 cabriolet with rusty front wings and gf has a 13 year old C max 1.6 tdci which is battered to fuck. Mind you I only do about a quarter of the hours above if you're lucky.

Went to pick up the vespa but it's a lot bigger than I thought and too heavy to lift into the van. Connected the battery up and the lights came on but there's not enough charge to spin it over. I've took the battery home to charge and will go back tomorrow and ride it home.

Just agreed to buy this vespa off a mate. Only 1000 miles on it. Been in his shed for four years. Wcpgw? Worth a punt for a grand? 125cc btw. Seem to go for three or four times the asking price.

Tynemouth priory looks decent this morning.

Had the A4 valeted inside and out yesterday and it's come up rather well. The roof especially. He said they'd haf to do the carpets three times and he still wasn't happy. They look perfectly fine to me and will be covered by some new mats indue course anyway. Good use of £65 imo.

Worst Star wars intro ever!

Possible repeat.

I had one homless bloke ask me for change last week. Sorry, I don't have any I replied. Join the club, I don't have any either I'm fucking skint he said. If I was carrying he would've had it.

Got a hot date tomorrow so I asked my neighbour for a car for the day. I picked the evo 10 fq 360 again. It's now had a few subtle mods and is over 420bhp now. It was the fastest thing I've ever drove standard never mind modded. It should impress/terrify her in equal measure.

Unbelievably I've just started it and it seems fine. There's still obviously a problem. I topped up a litre of oil the day before with some vw specific stuff from tesco. Only done 10 miles since. I noticed when I checked the oil after hearing the rattle that there were little bubbles on the dipstick. I wonder if the oil over heated.

Pulled up at some traffic lights and noticed the oil warning graphic was animated. Turned my radio down and heard the death rattle. I'd just been caning it with tunes blasting. I'm not sure how long the oil light was on.

I think my TT is fucked.

Quicker than the 911 turbo he lent me. Felt it too.

My next door neighbour chucked me the keys to his new car yesterday. Evo X FQ360. Very docile, civil and quiet till you stamp the loud pedal and you start to swear. Brilliant bit of kit and I want one. Carbon fibre pedals ftw too.

I'm working there today at some point. Not my favourite place.

A mate was 50 so we organised a bus for 30 of us to go to Blackpool for the weekend. Friday night was fancy dress and a great laugh. One of them went as a JSO protester

Scored this for £6 at Tynemouth market at the weekend.

Remind me on and I'll join you with the TT.

No wonder there was a shortage of bogroll.

Next door threw me the keys to his porsche jeep to have a go. 600hp done by tech art? Sounds like thunder and flys. The gearbox wasn't very good, a proper slush matic and not a patch on the one in his 911 twin turbo. Hard to pick which was faster though.
