Took my dad to pick up his new (used) car today after purchasing it last week. I don't think I've ever seen him so enthusiastic about... well, anything! 

It's a 2018 Mazda 6 estate. Loads of kit on it. 🙂 Modern cars aren't generally my thing but even I think it's a good looking car.

 

Would you trust this dealership?😄

Spotting this at the petrol station earlier certainly made me grin - I nearly filled up and emptied at the same time! 

Gorgeous '34 Ford coupe.

My personality it seems. Or maybe that should have been left at home.  Somehow managed to fuck up the whole trip yesterday afternoon, by getting cross about something. 

 

And today. Taking down the tent, I put myself in the Haverfordwest minor injuries unit, to have my head glued, after I ripped my whole scalp off on the boot lid. Doh.

Seems extreme just to get half an hours peace and quiet

Bastards* only took 15 mins from walking in, to walking out with my gash glued. (Oooh ah madam) 

*I say bastards, but the nurse was very efficient and there was no queue, so in reality this was the best trip to A&E evvveeeer  and now they have my details It will be quicker next time.

There was a collective roaring yasssss at work today following the announcement of resignation.

[LightBulbFun]

messing with a temporary insurance provider (Veygo) @Crackers mentioned to me and which looks to be a more flexible provider then Cuvva is

seems to be happy to quote me on @Six-cylinder's 50 year Toledo which is very interesting!

especially such their own rules state the car has to be under 30 years old

but I wonder if they are just saying "needs to be less than 30 years old" because most vehicles older than that, just dont play nice with computer systems or is their own quotation system broken? LOL

I know Cuvva say nothing older then 20 years, and will point blank refuse to quote anything older then 20 years even if it does find it

 

admittedly I have not been able to take it all the way, so it might just say right at the end "Oh hang on its over 30 years old so Jog on" but still quite amusing that it is quoting me LOL

This will happen, I'm afraid. 

Frustratingly, Veygo will allow you to generate a quote with all the details you want, and will only throw you back out when you try to get to the payment page.

Bollocks, but I figured such, Thanks for saving me the ball ache of it all!

as they say "if its too good to be true, it probably is"

 

still quite amusing in a very much me sort of way, to chuck different cars at it to see what it will attempt a quote on 

it will "quote" KXA221F but it wont do TMY265F, despite them both ADO16's of the same age (I wonder if thats because KXA has a Cat marker on it, so the insurance system already knows all its details?) 

Curiously it comes up as a "BASE/VANDAN PLAS" like those are the same or something LOL

Savage as usual

Agreed, they do look really good. I came very close to buying one in 2018 instead of the petrol Avensis I did get (and only had for a year), but the problem for me was the 19" wheels and shallow tyres on the more powerful, higher-spec versions - not sure how well they'd have lasted on the country roads I use. Also no spare wheel of any sort as I recall.

I still find it of interest, especially with the 2.5 engine now available, but the same concerns apply.

Hats off to Mazda for still having a decent-size 'normal' estate in their range, there isn't much choice away from the German makers.

I love seeing shite amongst the cool stuff at Goodwood 🤣

[AnnoyingPentium]

Just found £2.90 in the rear seat pocket of a Golf GTD I'm cleaning...

[vulgalour]

Princess seat base repair a success and, surprisingly, more comfortable.  Hopefully that'll last.

Also managed to get one of the trio of local foxes on film.  We don't encourage them, feed them, or leave our bins accessible so they just use the garden as a chill zone and the drive as somewhere to scream at each other at Shit O'Clock.

Keep us up date. I do hope you manage to get some help.

If not rodding kits are available at all good DIY stores/on line.😧

Well my dam held up so didn’t flood the garage again and after another five days or so the council came out with the rods and unblocked it. I’ve cleaned up all the mess left behind and disinfectanted the living actual shit out of my garage and the communal area where kids play and I often lay on back front and side fixing broken motor conveyances.  It now smells a heap better rather than a steaming heap.

Also to make me smile a friendly scrap man tool away the Megane garden ornament today which was looking a right eyesore with its flat tyres and tree juiced paint work. The money from this and running in my scrap has given me a living wage which has meant the week I’ve taken off to sort the kids and run the flat whilst the missis has covid has paid too. To top it off the r1100gs is much nearer its euro trip readiness with brand new secondhand shaft fitted from the spare rt1100 and shod with actual brand new knobblies that have been kicking about down the side of my bed for the best part of a year whilst I pump up the cracked front and bald rear due to slow punctures. 
To top it off with the soiled crap I threw out the garage I’ve managed to squeeze the r6 shit peice in there too despite having to rehome all the useful crap from the aforementioned megane shed. Winning.
