I've just got in from giving my tow car a wash so it's ready to go.

 

Leave the Rangie in the naughty corner and use the money you'll save by not fixing it to pay me to bring the Plah down instead!

Our Berlingo has gone to live in Wales complete with "AS" sticker.

Hah! Makes all the work worth the effort knowing it is still going.

It is indeed. My Dad drove me to the station in it, this morning!

 

Spotted a C15 from the train, too...

Hmm, 6/10, a pass but could try harder :)

 

Ah, just noticed its 6/16, are you the fat boy that sits at the back of class?

Yes, finding room to park on our 11 car drive can be tricky sometimes!

You should have pulled the emergency cord!

MRS6C?

 

Miss, miss, Chris has done something really silly.

No pictures of pickernick tables. Disapoint.

I thought the black Range Rover was going up for sale back in the summer?

Half a table, back doors did not open and there is a bumper across the back seat that discouraged me from photographing there.

Yes but nobody wanted it whole, only bits off it. So I am going to have to take it apart.

You're not drunk enough.  Huggy's still here!

I make it 7/16...

Space could be an issue.  An 11-car drive roughly equates to a 4-Huggy drive

How fucked is it that no-one wants it?

Hah, bonus points for the early Jag XJ dash warning lights...

 

Nice to see that's found a good home, as I've said before - give me a shout if an extra pair of hands is useful, gives me a reason to do something that gets me out of the house now and again.

Very, no engine for starters. Plus the gum ball rally motifs.

You could get your own back on mini owners by raping a decent mini and sticking the engine and box into it...
