Nice, I think I was 5.

If I get a time machine, I’ll give you a wave.

Investment advice from that waste of skin?

If I want advice on how to be unfunny, over-hyped and an annoying Wankpanda, then I'll be straight on the phone to him, but at the moment I'm quite capable by myself. KTHNXBAI

Ratatouille?

[mitsisigma01]

Probably taste better and more nutritious than a Burger King, if only you could catch one. 

Available in the Wuhan branch of BK

Just arrived home. Reset the trip 36 miles away and drove the journey.

31.3 US, which is 37.5 UK MPG.

Big cars with big engines are very inefficient, obviously.

Squirrels seem to be popular with advertising agencies at the moment, with animated ones starring in Marmite and Lynx adverts.

MCM having their STi’s wheels painted the same as mine.

It’s a great paint code IMO and I reckon now we may be seeing a lot more of it.

[cort1977]

What is that paint code out of interest? Need to paint some wheels soon.

Our garden is L shaped with a cemetery one side and allotments on the other and also backs onto a park and we have two albino squirrels that spend a lot of time in the trees or running along our fences bordering our garden. Though I can never get a picture of both of the squirrels together

[New POD]

That looks grey.  

In the squirrel world : red lives matter.

Just normal driving and holding 55 mph on the way home. It gets better miles per gallon at 55 than it does at 40, which for me is a first. Normally 40-45 has been the "peak economy" speed, where top gear just engages and wind drag is at a minimum for engine RPM.

I was impressed with the 30+ mpg on my Chrysler when I drove it home from Scotland. That was the last time I ever saw that figure, local trips saw it well under 20mpg, but it sounded wonderful
