  1. I'd have loved to have attended the show, but it clashed with the best day of Crufts i.e. the working and pastoral breeds/freestyle heelwork to music day. I hope that I'll be able to attend next time, perhaps with The Volvo.
  2. I was thinking about attending, but as I attended Crufts last weekend, I've had my fair share of the NEC this month
  3. So would I. The car is totally the kind of thing I'd love to own, but I don't have the space to keep it
  4. No idea for sure what car this is (something from Detroit from the late 50s/early 60s, going by the transluscent steering wheel), but it's a cracking album cover. Cracking album, too
  5. I rescued two large pieces of plywood sheet from a skip at my last non-driving job about six years ago, which serve the same purpose. The mats are probably more practical, though, as they could be stored quite easily in the average car boot. GR9 for breakdowns, roadside wheel changes and away from home spannering, I reckon
  6. Which company did you work for? I presume a Swedish/Scandinavian one if you got Volvos as company cars.
  7. Top purchase. I had a very early (P-reg) V70 2.5 10v manual for several years and would love another one day. Sadly, there aren't many left in worthwhile condition these days.
  8. I know the area, as I quite often do deliveries and collections in Ashford. The industrial estate the garage is on isn't all that far from the now-demolished Chart Leacon railway depot.
  9. That's lovely. Just how I remember them back in 1987, in fact. I wonder which dealer it was originally sold by? I reckon Invicta Motors or Thompsons of Dover.
  10. I missed the worst of the OMG SNO KAOS, but my truck froze to the ground when I parked overnight in an ice-bound yard in Clitheroe on Wednesday; the overnight temperature got as low as minus 8c 😮 Lovely sunset, though: Ditto the sunrise next morning: Got back on track pretty quickly using a combination of the diff lock, beligerence and hope, although the windscreen washers stayed frozen until I got to Blyth Services...
  11. Wartburg Knight/Tourist. I've had a weird interest in them since becoming aware of their existence around the time of the German Reunification.
