Didn't expect that. Coming soon to a dragstrip near you 🤣🤣🤣

One for me please.

Bob, get into your GP and ask them to do a full set of bloods. I've been feeling like shit, had a phone consultation and he asked for bloods for all manner of stuff. The result:low folate, low iron, and particularly low vitamin D. These all contribute to the shitty feeling. Also, DON'T FUCK WITH YOUR MEDS.

Possibly. It only came on after I stopped at Stafford. I'll have a look over it tomorrow. Probably something and nothing.

And we have a winner 🏆 It drove back a treat, albeit a little bit chilly. But then the ungrateful bastard gave me this Ah well...... It'll give me something to do tomorrow! Many thanks to @hpi_matrix for an easy deal and a lift from the station that saved me an hour.

Arrived. Deal done. Just taxing it, and I'm away.

Some good guessing up to now. One's fairly close. Some of the others are way off. Also: poo count is zero.

That London. About an hour ago. I'm now a (rail replacement) bus wanker.

Here we go! I didn't get to put this in last years count so I'm off today. It's a bit of a mission because of engineering works, but should be collected ting early afternoon. Place bets now!

There hasn't been too much going on at Sporty Towers this year. Started with this which became too impractical now the Sporty Juniors are the size if adults. it made way for this... which was ok, but the lack of speedo annoyed me more than I thought it would. Inbetween, I won a roffle..... which was fun, but only had half the number of seats required. It was a shame to leave it unused, so it left to go to a local bloke. Still see it around occasionally. I now have this. . which is irritating me irrationally due to some niggles. It will be for sale soon. There will be one more in this year's account, hopefully, as long as I can get to collect it in time. Mrs S's Astra is still providing sterling service, too, so warrants a mention, although I don't have a recent photo.

This looks fantastic. I look forward to seeing more.

Oi. No need! 😁 Or maybe that's why I struggle to sell anything for decent money.

Proper result. Well played. With luck like this, put a ticket on the lottery.

It was more the "Sporteh persuades Chester based Vauxhall bothererthat he'd rather have an SLK than a buggy" However, if you feel the need, Bob, you're more than welcome 😁

I feel you'd be much more comfortable in an SLK. I just so happen to know someone who may be able to help you............

Impressed. Very very impressed.

I really enjoyed mine (1.8, 225bhp). Just needed general maintenance stuff. Only issue was the lack of space in the back for the kids.

That is nice, but I know my bollocks are nowhere near big enough!

Marina has let herself go a bit!

Done a little bit of tinkering on this today. The sticky ignition key was getting a bit worse, and I was getting a bit concerned it might leave me stranded. After a bit of goofing, I found it yo be a common fault and could be "repaired" by removing the pin that activates the steering lock. Either that or about £100 on a replacement unit. So, I did the right thing, and removed the pin. Trims off Then it's key in and turned to p1, barrel out. Slacken bracket push retaining pin and the barrel is off. Obviously a couple of plugs to pull! Someone has obviously been here before, as the surround to the pin wasa bit mashed and somone had scratched their initials on the barrel. into the vice, little cover off, and spring and pin removed. Assembly is reverse of removal. All working nicely now. Link to instruction video in case anyone is interested:

Have you outed the Jag already? Thought that might have ben a bit of a longer term thing.

I've noticed a few bits like this in ECP. Got a set of rear pads for Mrs S's Astra for £3 over the weekend!

*your Thought better of you, Lord Cav. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
