Dance while the record spins?

Not been much going on in nearly a month. The car had been keeping in better condition than I was. However, this week has been very busy for both myself and the car, with the Fabia covering over 500 miles in a week, a stark change from my usual 190. Started with a lovely wee trip to Stirling and Callander on Monday with the mates, no issues there. Except that my car has developed a delightful* death wobble at 60-70mph. Either something stupidly simple or stupidly expensive, we shall see. ^ took this so I'd remember where I parked. Tuesday was a run to Girvan via everywhere, almost, with a uni pal who had come down from Cumbernauld to sample the "lovely" parts of Ayrshire. Wednesday was a day where I didn't have to drive, which although nice, isn't nice as a jumpy passenger. ...and that takes us up to today, which is Thursday, I think. Had been meaning to drop off a pair of vent-cup-holder-things to @big_al_granvia and @Flat4 since they're fairly local, but I went via Largs to meet a lassie as well, just to kill some time really. Was lovely meeting you, Al, and of course seeing your fleet was nice too. Only place I think I've ever went to in order to get rid of something to nearly leave with a Focus. I must say, it was tempting. 😂 Tomorrow? Hopefully fuck all, as I cannot be arsed, and petrol isny cheap. Might spend it looking to see if the car has shed some balance weights or something, causing the death wobble, or see what's causing the intermittent cutting out. Anyway, I think I'll go to my bed now, forking exhausted. 😂

42/43mpg ish on a trip to Stirling and other places. 20mpg around Ayr and in traffic, about 35mpg when I'm haring it along some b-roads. All in the Fabia. Duster seems to get something between 30-40mpg just doing my Mum's commute. Sandero is getting around 37mpg of a lot of mixed stop/start driving round the doors, about 5k miles a year.

It's the same in Ayr. Cheap parking is getting closed (multi storey car park) and cheap/free parking is becoming dearer if you want to go into the high street. Couple that with the rates of buildings and rent since it's almost a monopoly of a small amount of landlords and you don't have to think long as to why it's basically a flipping ghost town besides vape shops, totally not-dodgy* mobile phone shops, and charity shops.

What's the DVD?

My Granny had one in bright yellow, used to drive it like a psychopath. 😂

Same as Matador then? https://www.matador-tyres.co.uk/car/the-brand £50 a corner, great in snow, but shite in the wet for some reason. 😆

I've got that game too. Bought it in a charity shop still sealed for £4.

It's also quite decent for getting writing off of old pre-recorded cassettes if you want to reuse them.

I don't see a Signum all too often anymore, but I saw this one the other day. I'd say get it bought.

That is a lovely and well kitted out Corolla. Must say I'm envious.
