Yarp! Of course 😁

Nope, lights on dash and smoke and limp mode. Doh!

So I had the oil deterioration light on the Mondeo and the smoke and the failed regens. A quick oil change and dtc reset later and fingers crossed maybe I'll have sorted it.

This will be my first too! Likewise I've met a few folks but nice to meet more. And nice to bring the kids camping and nice for it to be close to me of course.

Not sure if that's a laugh or cry emoji!

Yes that's what I'm worried about. Fortunately she is very bad at actually buying a car herself. Her style is to tell me what she doesn't like and expect me to find the perfect one for her but refuses to engage with the process of telling me what she does want. I've pretty much said if she wants a Bini she's going to have to sort it out herself. I'm not sure if that's the best thing to do or not 😅

So the wife has been browsing Mini estates, this worrying behaviour has been happening for a while now. I know we can't afford to buy a car now, (mostly because I have a bagpipe habit that might need looking at by a professional) so that's something. She has a perfectly good, if a bit oil-leaky Peugeot 307 that she's prejudiced agsinst for an unknown vague reason that doesn't make actual sense. How worried should I be?

How do you make a Mk4 Mondeo estate look small and trivial? Park it next to a friend-of-a-friend's Granada estate. Done.

The original freshly sprayed according to the colour code actually looks quite nice, in my humble opinion... Yes I'd agree, get it painted in the original colour!

I'll bring my bagpipes then 😁

What's this, rally spec Escorts mk 1 and 2 everywhere, noise coming from the forest? Oh yes its a rally stage at Clocaenog!

Boy,3 girl, 8. They're very friendly!

Cor, now that's a boot. Ideal.

At least its being used...
