That golf is barely worth 1400 in good nick ?

Sorry, had to go out!

The reason for the fucked VW purchase becomes more clear when you hear that his 17 year old son, passed his test yesterday at 2 pm....

Maybe he shouldn't have passe!

Hit a parked car at 6pm last night. Possibly* hadn't even got round to telling insurance co. he'd passed, hence my brother paying over the odds for a knackered Polo. Can't even make a good one out of the two!

A thumbs up and quick shout out for @red5 who this afternoon offered to help out a total stranger (me) with temporary loan of a Frontera to help my wife get about rural Worcestershire while we’re experiencing some localised flooding. 

Cheers Sam, you’re a true gent, and although it looks like we’ve another option open to us now, it was a really kind offer. All the best.

This place etc....

Could you let me have his details? It would be useful to know when he's on the road so we can avoid any area he might be driving in!!

Don't worry, according to my brother

" He's fucking grounded until he's 30 and won't be driving a car on his own until he's paid for both Polos"

Which considering he's still at school, could be a while.

Yep. Need to find somewhere to stay near Cheste. Air B&B had a few places 4 kms away. I was going to book for this year, but my mates didn't confirm in time.

Cheste has to be done on the Saturday night!

Brother Fumbler and his girlfriend have come back from their Scotchland holiday. That's another 1000 miles on the Land Cruiser. over £200 in fuel but he calculates it to still be cheaper than flying and hiring a car. Toyota performed flawlessly, which makes me very pleased indeed.

He might spend the rest of his life in academia and never get a job!

Decided to have a look around online for Japanese imports and came across this gem of an advert -

https://www.thecarwarehouse.co.uk/vehicle/475/honda-vamos

Want to emphasise the diminutive proportions of an A-Team lookalike microvan? Then what better way to do it than by crudely photoshopping some A-Team dwarves onto the advert. Not sure if the price is a joke too.

They've got some interesting stuff though, including this -

Realised again how relaxing a low performance vehicle is. No temptation to try and overtake; because I can’t. Just go with the flow....

I found a kenwood chef at the side of the road the other day. Tonight we made a sponge cake

Had been sat in the corner of the work car park for weeks. Was very random. Had it home last week and checked it and cleaned it etc, then I bought cookery stuff and we tried it tonight! It's missing the rubber mat under the bowl and the dough hook doesn't stay in properly, but bar that it's grand!
