Haven’t watched it for a while but I seem to remember they used to charge what seemed like an absolute fortune for the work they did, I know restoration is an expensive game but they seemed to be off the scale.

Used to laugh at the owner charging around the workshop like a busy fool in his 30 year old New Balance trainers

Inspired by TG at the bangers, a pic from one of the most entertaining day's motorsport I have ever seen... also in Kings Lynn.

Wow! Why did no one think of that before. An electric car with a petrol engine. Genius! What could we call it? Mongrel?

I found the silent coverage of the trip down the a40 strangely emotional. Police doing a very good job of keeping the new king out of harms way.

Parked next to me this afternoon,if you look over the Range Rover bonnet. That is a Smart car. The smart stopped at the RR's mirrors.

There was an old bloke driving one of these, who nearly broke his neck and smiling as I was going the other way in the orange.

My last day was tomorrow.

I asked if I could take my 2 hours lieu time at the end of my shift.

Turns out I actually only had 45 minutes...

...and a bank holiday lieu day.

So that's me finished!

Finally free!

I came past this over the weekend when there was still a mk6 fiesta buried in the wall and a very angry homeowner gesticulating very aggressively at the pillock who had just crashed it

Red fiesta, I think it was, in the ditch on the a319 this morning in Chobham, right opposite the traveller site entrance on a deceptively straight bit of road. Perpendicular to the road too…

Didn’t mean to quote I think. Just a similar message about slowing down nearby.

TBF it might take a moment to process whether that sign relates to the speed of driving or an attempt to slow the growth of the population.
