Reminds me of that old couple I read about in Classic Ford Magazine years ago who bought a brand new 280 Ford Capri as an investment, drove it home and put it in the garage and never used again. 
 
Around 2004 the car was recovered from the Garage, taken to a Ford Main Dealer ( the dealer that supplied the car originally) for a service and a clean, the Capri was then driven back to the couple’s home and put back in the rebuilt garage to never be used again. 
 
think the mileage had just turned over to 15 
this was in a 2004 edition of Classic Ford I have no idea what happened to the Capri
 
 

I wonder what the story was? Such good looking old barges.

I would google and read the Dan Neidle blogs on this if I were you. He lied about having outstanding tax and then negotiated his 'settlement' whilst he was in charge of HMRC at the exchequer.  The level of fine shows how culpable he was. One for the politics section I guess 

Re: lift pump... it's weird. It doesn't feel any flatter nor does it struggle under load. It always feels like it's lacking power, granted its an HTP engine, but there's nothing noticeably "off" about it.
It's an annoying fault for sure. Considering it's a bloody good car to drive, for a small car it's quite refined. If I could just get rid of this fuelling thing I wouldn't mind the other shit breaking as much, as I wouldn't be spending so much on petrol! 😂

New Head gasket and clutch, and claimed no rust.

We are all daft in my family. They are all racing next year. Eldest son, his wife and twins.
Youngest son, his wife and eldest daughter age 10.
I also got a licence for Xmas, but it remains to be seen if I'll use it or not.

The Elves have been busy.

 

I assume Amelia has found it by now, been difficult to keep the garage out of bounds.
Still a few small jobs, but it may get a test run soon.

Probably skint and trying to use a credit card or something

A guy turns up this morning to buy some jeans we had on listed on Facebook Market place for £3 and wants to pay for them with PayPal, I told him to just take them for free and fuck off (or words to that affect) which he did . 
although thinking about it is this just a contrived way of getting my email address?  As he already has my name and full address, not sure what he could really do 

Get this. 
 
An MOT happened, and with a pack of chocolate hob nobs it passed. 
 

 
luckily I’d hit it with the welder before Xmas….  900ish miles since last mot. Boy that’s quite a lot for us!!

You can say what you like about the French, but bloody hell they have style.

Perfect for halloween! Pretend you’re a hotel caretaker who’s gone mental.

The snow hit early this morning which brought stoke on Trent to a complete standstill 
I had an early morning Tesco collection. The Audi nailed it 💪

 

Going to Hull tomorrow, as the New Salesman the company has took on to take the company to “the next level” got to site today and decided it was too cold to get out of his car so just drove home back to Worcester, he also cited “not being able to eat properly” as another excuse for his twatish behaviour 

Ah, that kind of not being able to eat properly.
Although, from what you've told us about him, I'm not convinced he can manage to find his mouth with much degree of accuracy either...

I mean, I used to live in Hull and fairly often I would get there and not want to get out of my car and just drive away.
Food was alright though, they have chip spice there. 

To do with his workout routine, he must stick to a strict diet and has to eat at certain times of the day

Has he considered pursuing a career in politics instead?
