Last time we had a fod meet @Andyrew gave me a dc01 he found at his work. It was a bit dusty...

Stripped and washed it earlier, it was going rusty stood by the back door! Never used fallout remover in a vacuum cleaner before

Decades of grinding splatter

Driving through a nearby village this afternoon I spotted my old Movano parked up at the side of the road.  I thought that was long dead given that when I sold it it was out of MOT and the engine was on its last legs, but someone must have fixed it because I checked online when I got home and it's still T&T'd.

Took the Rover out for a supply run earlier (an essential journey... perhaps somewhat offset by the non essential journey I made in the MX-5 to the unit where the Rover is kept!), first proper drive since I adjusted the clutch last week. Feels so, SO much better to drive!

And when I was filling it up, I got my first "don't see many of those now!" comment.

I have said that when filling the DS and a shite car is alongside. You get some very strange looks :)

In the office today sorting Quotes, looked out the window to see a Peacock on top of a VW Passat

Genuinely excited.... 

I remember some of the covers from being a teenager. 😁

Traffic chaos at Hadlow, workmen have just shut the A26 completely to dig the road up... without warning the bus companies or creating diversion for artics.

It is entertaining watching the lost art of the three point turn outside our house as cars turn around. A MINI did it in seven and is holding the record.

I was just idly staring out of the window when this 19 plate Range Rover pulled up in our little cul de sac - the driver got out, reached into the back seat and grabbed his pizza delivery bag :) surely there can’t be much of his income left running one of these ?

Call me a cynic, but I'd put 50p on the pizza delivery bag not containing pizza at all. Perhaps he is delivering other forms of 'nutrition' under the guise of being an Uber Eats driver?

I did wonder that but he was from dominos and in uniform. 

Dominos stuff crops up on eBay quite often, wouldn't be hard to pretend!

When I worked there though we did have all sorts of cars, never anything as flash as a Range Rover though. I can't see minimum wage making much of a dent in the running costs and in my experience the fuel money starts to get a bit tight around 30mpg.
