Someone should call the child protection team from the local council.

There cannot be a single reason why anyone would want one of that twat, let alone two.

Who said shooting?

Could be water balloons, milkshakes, a deftly slung rotten tomato.....

 

All in jest.

No problems. It is only the internet and he is ten-years-old so nearly grown up.

Had a good afternoon carefully washing, claying, waxing and polishing the Daewoo, cleaning all the glass, using the special trim cleaner on the window rubbers and other bits and finally carefully (slowly) cleaning the wheels with the magic cleaning gloop which failed to clean the Saab wheels.

My arms and legs ache but I am very satisfied with my work. The Daewoo now looks really good.

Tomorrow I'll turn my attention to the interior then get some pics of my work for the thread on the modernz forum. All thats left after this is another service to flush out the last of the manky old oil, and whatever has been flushed out with the new stuff over the last 2000 miles and then its pretty much as good as it can get. Its very therapeutic.

Collected Land Cruiser. Much fun.

 

Also made my Micra's bumpers black again. They were going white for some strange reason.

Saw this nice little photo article in the Guardian

Since I put my Saab up for sale, it has developed a couple of minor faults. 

Driving home from the FotU across country reminded me what a stonking car this really is, both in power delivery and handling.

So I'm getting the faults fixed and keeping it. Took it to Abbott Racing yesterday, who were extremely helpful (unlike my local Saab garage) so booked it in for next week for them to properly check it over and fix the bits I know that need doing.

I spent half a day washing,cleaning and hoovering the Subaru prior to its pregleg (mot) last Friday

Must have looked like a really well looked after car as the tester drove it into the test area,turned the stereo way up,and had a little dance as he checked the number plates matched....

Nothing else,just the plates...

Got my shiny new sticker for 35lev,about £15 to you guys

Then went out and celebrated my 50th for the rest of the day

No, prep school uniforms are far smarter than that.

I meant more like The Beano School for toffs

Speaking of which I managed to bag 20 copies of The Beano including delivery for £17. First thing my son has been genuinely interested in reading. I think that's a win!
