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…

Not this one, they must come in threes..

Blue fiesta, Birkin lane near Wingerworth. https://goo.gl/maps/2SvRpFwLG7maEsTa9

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

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

 

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.

Just tuned into bangers and cash 

Derek is doing a piece to camera 

Well it's legal when you're 16 and let's face it when you're 16 you just want to get into something warm 

Yes I remember being 16 

Camera pans to a bmw bubble car , oh 

[Crackers]

I fixed a thing, and it worked. Rare.

Granted, it was only re-greasing the window sliders on the Mazda, but still. I made something better, which never happens.

One wiper blade !

Not fishing rods , oars or blow up boat ...

There must be hundreds of fucked cars in Nottinghamshire 

Surely that's a road that needs closing when it's flooded , handy if you're looking for an undertray though

There's a great video somewhere of an Aygo sailing gently across the ford, then clambering out the other side and driving away.

[beko1987]

I can make odd noises if I get stuk anywhere though 🤔

[hairnet]

Are we nearly there yet

[goosey]

After a shit day, this dinky little Van really made me laugh 

 

[hairnet]

So you end up here ( pic edit cos durrrrr)

I'm proud as punch today, daughter number 2 passed her driving test at the first attempt. Felt so sorry for her when the world went to shit during the lockdowns, but she kept plodding along with it. Currently around a 6 month wait for tests round our way.

If you see an 09 plate bronze Suzuki Swift round Derby with a teenage girl grinning from ear to ear, that will probably be her!

Only another 13 months to go till son number 1 turns 17 so I can go through it all again. I must know every inch of Asda and B&M's carpark by now 😂.

This makes me grin every time I still see it in service - 626 from WestLeigh motors (now a sainsburys).

After a very long day of back breaking work and tons of earth and stone moved with shovel and wheelbarrow, the new septic tank is in place. And i am enjoying chocolate now.
