    Fucking gorgeous interior. 

    Mate has paid £2.5k for it which seems fair.

    Here is the biography for Anne Sellors on IMDB. 

    Sounds like a great woman. 
    Wonder what she was in?

    No, Korean. Not the one that has "democratic" in the name, the one that rather is. 
    Yes, one pond is almost 6 RON.
    Now I'm hungry again! But behold what I've got for myself. It's my third:

    Pulled the trim away tonight and discovered the PREMIUM SOUNDS. 

    That runs the speakers in the doors. There's wiring for a sub amp. No idea where it is though. However, that can go on the wish list. 

    Light bulbs in the dash were a success.

    Battery charger and battery arrived.

    Battery duly inserted in the hole, lubricated the mounting bolts and put the thing on charge because it's spent a lot of time in the box. 

    Connected up, the dash provides a litany of faults. It all seems to work though. Climate control screen is half working, but the segments that are broken only show up at a temperature not normally set so that's good. 

    Sunroof and windows all work, which is surprising.  Someone's been in there before, it's all nicely greased up.

    Most of the other electrical things also work. Oddly this car has side repeater indicator lights, rear fog lights and the dash says BOOT OPEN when you pop the trunk. 
    Driver's side seat has two movements that don't work, the front of the seat just whirs and doesn't move up or down, and the headrest just goes click. 
    Radio also needs investigation.
     
    Overall quite surprising how much of it still works.

    This is brilliant. Autobahn near Bremen today; 
    At first I thought he was an old Adolf who had accidentally joined the motorway, then it scarpered off up the road, when I caught it up and overtook it was some bloke grinning like a maniac. 🇩🇪😂

    So I visited the TSR at the weekend.  They had the North British loco running with it's new straight pipe exhaust which sounds fantastic in the tunnel and were very happy to run us a special train but can't do it on Shitefest Saturday as they are running steam driver experiences all day.
    The steam engine will be running on the Sunday and I encourage people to visit on your way home.
