Made it to the station

Waiting for our lift. To think I could be on the sofa by the log burner...

PC : 2

It's the Festive Perineum, that odd period that ain't Christmas though not New Year yet. It's blowing a gale so obviously I should spend the day on the sofa but instead we're travelling half way across the country for some chod.

Just paid for one via PayPal - v.sorry, I forgot to add my name and address will PM you now.

So glad to hear you're both ok and you've managed to sort the car.

If you ever did want to part with the ST I'm still looking...

Why don't we meet up at Colsterworth Truck Stop anyway?

Sorry to hear of your woes, all the best with the new whip and thanks for the use of the word "cromulent".

Took the ex @83C Fabia for an MOT today Not too bad. Mechanic advised that the NSR coil spring didn't look too clever either so authorised replacing the pair. Unfortunately they can't get the springs before Monday and my car's in bits on the ramp so they dropped off a loan car for me to use. They're a good local indy and I'm grateful they didn't leave me (working/road legal) car-less over the weekend.

Liked for the retrieved bolt - hope you manage to get the rest sorted.

When it's too much bother get the big step ladder out...

There's others closer to Dolgellau (and hopefully you won't need any help anyway) but if you do get stuck and if there's any thing I can do I think you still have my number. Pob lwc!

Is this one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoopties-Chris-Abbot/dp/B0C94DYFXR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3H0QA3CWC5GL3&keywords=hoopties&qid=1699558332&s=instant-video&sprefix=hoopties%2Cinstant-video%2C142&sr=1-1 It's just called Hoopties. Good watch, thanks for the heads up. As the man said, "D'ya wanna go racing? Fuck yeah!"

I dunno, it's a useful cue to scroll on by - if they can't be arsed to remove their used cups what's the chance of them doing much in the way of servicing or maintenance?

I find myself quite drawn to this Peugeot Rcz 1.6 thp sport 156bhp 11 months mot but ⏰it's in Rhyl (NBZ?) ⏰it's re-listed ⏰it has a colourful* MOT history That's enough alarm bells that I should wake up but it's nearby so I might go and have a look anyway. @iainrcz can you tell my why I shouldn't?

F&F PayPal payment paid. Big thanks to you and Si and the rest of the backroom bods who keep this place running.

@ZelandethI might quite literally feel your pain. Is yours at the end of your collar bone? After 2 years of constant pain and being passed from physio to specialist I finally had a cortisone injection under ultrasound last week. They reckon it might be tendonitis in my case. Still in pain but hoping the injection might be beneficial after a while. Hope yours clears up soon.

@Datsuncog - worth a look through https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/essentials/

Congratulations on all your work and a successful first sortie - hope it's the first of many adventures for you and the popemobile.

Aye, @davidfowler2000gave me my spare back and took your alloy in a hotel car park in Peterborough on Friday night so it should be back in Scotland by now. Congratulations on getting the Fabia fixed up.

What an arse. Boink's Oldsmobile cousin was at FoTU.

A few spotted at FoTU today. Proton Saga 'Knight' Ford Cortina 'Carousel' Toyota Crown 'Athlete'
