No idea why but this weekend has been the best spotting weekend that I've had since I accidentally drove the opposite way to a vintage rally...

The Volvo 145 and Peugeot 505 were within minutes of each other.  I got out for the Volvo because I was so excited.

Monday morning an I wonder what junk I have in the work email account?

Oh look - seems to be an advert for a wife-swapping event by a well known provider of flophouses.
At least they get a coat hanger each for their trunks.

They look like someone just drowned in the pool and they are waiting to be questioned by the police.

Bravo is getting picked up by mechanic tomorrow. I stuck a battery on charge when I got back. I probably won’t be home when it gets picked up, and it’s a bit unfair asking missus or 60y/o mechanics to carry it down the stairs from 5th floor. Put it back in, and thought - oh fuck it, might as well see if it’s fully charged and the car starts with no errors on dash. Reporting resounding success!

What a glorious morning.

Feel quite footloose and fancy free.

Might go to the garden centre and spend too much money.

Ooh Peugeot 505 estate! I had a 1985 one of those, one of the best cars I ever had.

Until it caught light,

Still got exported to Africa tho😁image.jpeg.589c53f82d0dd26b933034579178ddf0.jpeg

I went out to the car this morning and it was covered in ants… could it be the Demon Shine I used at the weekend?

I think it has a cherry fragrance?

The shows he did in the 'A .... is born' format were fantastic.

How it progressed from a car to a helicopter was a real lesson in "anyone can do this stuff, you just have to learn it", and I use it as an example all the time when people tell me they're no good at fixing things.

If a dude can learn how to build a helicopter you can fix your car. A bit like those Royal Navy ads about fixing a skateboard.

I really enjoyed the Wreck Rescue with Lizzie and her frog eye sprite.
