I've got to fly tip some pallets at Winslow allotments en route but will be there in the morning 👍

I've got a finger under bandages though after a small accident this morning, @Six-cylinderdo you have a box of latex gloves rolling around in the range rover I could pinch a few of to stop it getting filthy? 

I will put some in the car, I am planning to use the 230 TE.

I think I'll need to sit this one out unfortunately as I want to have a look at the Carina's oil strainer this weekend before taking it on a few long journeys on the advice of @Saabnut

I might end up having to give this one a miss - my hip is currently playing up to the extent that it's painful for me to drive a manual, and all of my automatics are currently broken.

You can rev-match and clutchless change can't you?

I can, but that won't be a lot of help if I get stuck in traffic.

[Zelandeth]

Looks like I'll be getting co-opted into domestic duties tomorrow, so most likely will be Sunday I'll be about.

Crank on the starter in 1st gear and then you're off.  C'mon... find solutions!

Yes, I've had to do this to get a car with a snapped clutch cable home before now.. several times.  no, i wouldn't actually start a journey like that...

[bobdisk]

Practise makes perfect! I learned how to match speed and revs in a company van, so a few crunches did not matter 🎯

[beko1987]

Was out on the piss Thursday night so since I have no clue who I touched or after a certain time what I did I've done a test

Can give @hairnet our usual cuddles now 👌

[Floatylight]

Have a great weekend all, sorry I can't join you, busy with mothers day duties this weekend, hope to make the next one!

[Six-cylinder]

Last night we went to a Buckingham Canal Society talk and Talbot won the Raffle. There were other prizes available but he chose the Dog!

[hairnet]

[Six-cylinder]

I plan to be at the FoD from 10 am.

[hairnet]

[montytom]

[catsinthewelder]

Well I put them on, then I saw the state of the tyre 🙈

[beko1987]

 

It's a trap! There's a fancy new padlock with a new unknown code fitted 😂

I'll wait a while

[beko1987]

Then a wild @Talbotappeared and the code i guessed was right, I just didn't do the wrist action

[Longbridge Apologist]

Aiming to pop in for the afternoon depending on traffic driving a sat van back from Kent to Park Royal this morning…

[Longbridge Apologist]

Didn’t expect this level of £££ vehicle in the Premier Inn Ashford Eureka Park last night. Extra points for the in use roof rack.

[catsinthewelder]

Just leaving now without the trailer 🙄

[wuvvum]

Well the Laguna managed 30 miles last night without any brake issues so I might attempt to trundle down in a bit.  I could do with a change of scenery tbh.

It is sunny here. 

[Zelandeth]

Actually wound up with a couple of hours free.  Need to go collect some dog food from Walnut Tree but will trundle over for a bit of a catch up with folks once done with that.

[Dobloseven]

You lucky devils! Lovely day for standing round with hands in pockets looking at things. Did think about coming down, but Mrs. Doblo's gone to some sort of musical get together and left me with the dogs.
