  1. I saw a foreign registered Merc G-Wagen with the number GS WAGEN. None of the letters looked like numbers and I didn't see what country it was from.
  2. What's the betting it's taken over by a drug dealer - sorry takeaway.
  3. I saw a TV ad last night and thought Tesla were reduced to having to advertise on the box until I saw BYD at the end. BYD Seal Tesla Model 3
  4. Couldn't get a pic as there was someone in the car but I saw *13 ETY. The owner had added BOO with stick on letters after the plate 😄
  5. Another grump - went down to breakfast this morning to be told by the server it was continental breakfast as there was no chef. This is the 3rd time in a row where I've had issues with the restaurant attached to Premier Inns.
  6. Staying away with work. Checked in to Premier Inn and arranged dinner for 7.00. Arrived down in restaurant at 6.55 to be told my table wasn't ready and to take a seat in the lounge. At least 3 people came in after me for 7.15 bookings and got taken to their tables straight away. Surely it should be me then the 7.15ers? Oh well, sitting here now with a plate in front of me but pissed me off a bit.
  7. Quiet for spots over the festive period but did spot this today.
  8. Filming for the TV series of "On The Buses" was based at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood. One of the filming 'sound stages' was used as the front of the bus garage. But also, pieces of filming done 'on location', including the majority of the exterior shots for the film of "On The Buses", were all carried out in and around Borehamwood. A whole load of stills from the film can be viewed at 'reelstreets' (link below), and here is one of them. It shows Manor Way, Borehamwood. https://www.reelstreets.com/films/on-the-buses/
  9. I saw a car in the spec/colour I wanted. Didn't pluck up the courage to tell my wife I wanted a new car and now it's disappeared from the classifieds. 🙁
  10. I've nicked this idea from another (non car) forum. Cars that have the same letter for the manufacturer and the model. I'll not spoil your fun by listing all the ones people had posted on the original tread, but I'll give an example to get you guys (and gals) started...... Morris Marina
  11. I went to the local dealer to look at one when I had to choose a new company car. The demonstrator was in the workshop with the head off. Never looked at one again.
  12. Got a big New Year hug from the office manager(ess) 😋
  13. Beryl Swain, the first woman to race Isle of Man. Upsetting male dominated motorcycle racing that they introduced minimum weight restriction that they knew she couldn’t meet, thus revoking her international racing licence. Swain finished 22nd on a 50cc race-prepared 🇮🇹 Itom. Her average speed was 48.3mph after her bike lost top gear on the second lap. This was the first time a 50cc event had been included in the Island’s programme as from 1962 the class carried World Championship points.
  14. First time I've passed this on foot in daylight to get a pic.
