Apparently I'm "not right in the head" after I told the Mrs I'd been considering filling the hole in one of my teeth left by an elderly filling jumping ship, with Plumber's mate.

We'll actually I think it's the Wilko version.

That would be Mr Samsung thinking he knows better than me.

We've had words before, clearly it hasn't had the desired effect.

Hairy chested sports cars just don't get much better than this when the sun comes out. Short trip for an Mot but I will be taking a detour to avoid the fuel queues. 😁 9 miles since the last Mot.....😔

More details on that please!

I wonder if that's a scrapyard-bound HST? First Great Western branded too?

Two years ago when stripping a 307 HDI I made a silly video:

Its only gone and got 2.8k views in that time! Some brilliant comments too, about 50/50 if they got the joke or not it seems.

1966 Shelby 427 road car restored to concours by the company I work for to attend Salon Prive a couple of years ago.  Second time in it for me as I did the Mot last year. Really could do with being driven more, the torque is wonderful! There is a possibility it could be this car that Steve McQueen tested for Road And Track in 1966. I felt like the King of cool yesterday. 😎

Just back from Maidstone Exhaust Centre and I must say it was a thoroughly good experience.  Maestro exhaust now leak free.  It put up a bit of a fight and there was zero chance of me doing it at home, it was one of those jobs, I'm very happy I farmed it out.  They treated the car with more respect than I expected given its appearance, and made sure that if I want exhaust work doing in the future, that's the place I'm going to go.  I feel like I'm finding some pretty good places for old car work lately and the Maestro is looking and driving better and better with each new job that's completed.

Yes! Now the car does not have to work for a while so now it will be time to get the carburetor in order. And I have to overhaul the cooling system.

Don't worry. The Blackadder comedy series may not have reached Norwegian TV in the 1980s.

EFA. I'd be surprised if it translates well into any other language, but could be wrong. Bob!

Otherwise we'd see loads of them 

Not sure if this is unintentional popular music joke, or just one no-one's laughed at?
