Yeah, weigh you, do blood pressure, take blood, tell you you're over weight and drink too  much.

I had one at 40 too.

Lucky you. I’ve heard nothing for fifty years. Last went to the GP about a hernia five years ago ( first time since I was a child) , was referred to hospital and done. That’s it.

Slight return of my old Corsa B to the driveway tonight, but just for a short while.

Helping the owner with a foutery job on it that I had experience of from when I owned the car.

Great to see that it's still in excellent condition. I think the smaller wheels look better than the white ones I had on it.

That's some pretty impressive after sales service.

Always happy to help a fellow Vauxhallist.

You have my sympathy.

Just along the road from there you can still see a very faded Talbot advert on the railway bridge.

Thanks, I remember it when it was the Linwood car plant.

Espace crossed 150,000 miles today.

Needs a regas m8 in this weather as it’s frog boilingly hot but otherwise it’s behaving admirably.

You can also still see the original Linwood Plant offices still in use today as the St James business centre. It's about 1/4 mile along the road frkm the bridge, towards the motorway. Stuff Robert The Bruce, Linwood has all of the heritage.

His 'n' hers

I said when we get much older we will probably be wearing those matching fleece jackets with the massive picture of a wolf on the back.

I took no2 son to get his provisional driving license photo this morning. We had a look in the local bomb site dealer, on the way passed.

What a load of shite, flat tyres that have been down for weeks judging by the moss, cobwebs covering door handles and wipers.

Oh this is going to be fun.

I am determined to find one at a market and wear it in winter with no regrets!

I've mentioned this before, but my grandad had UK market 306 Sedan for many years, when he died in 2017, my uncle took it back to France and registered it on French plates.  Amazingly I was scrolling through my Instagram feed, and it had been spotted by 'cornishcarspotter' (this is completely at random, I don't follow the account) while on a trip over here.  Small world!

When in England 2017

100%, yes. I have three vehicles, all vans and two of them are 4x4 VWs. And I see another 4x4 vw one and my brain says "yes, buying this one would make you happier"
