LOL, googled it too and seems they got the Chevrolet Aveo in lieu of the Corsa D.

 

Was in Manchester yesterday - I have a new candidate for 'WTF minicabs'.

A Fiesta.

A sodding Fiesta taxi.

Will Manchester City Council plate anything???

The broad church that is Autoshite.  Old people, young people, decent people, opinionated people, women people, voodoo people.... maybe not that last one.

After several weeks of deteriorating boost it finally became impossible to achieve 70mph (son coming in from work).

Fully expecting to replace the MAF again, gave it a squirt of carb cleaner.

Back to full boost again this afternoon

Well had a quite a formal job interview yesterday with some weird multi part questions. Thought I'd done OK but not great as I didn't answer the question very well about what I would bring to the job (I already do it for a different company). Said they were after 12 but had a lot of people to interview in other areas.

 

They rang today offering me the job! No start date yet and they want to see my qualifications, shit I don't have them I made up the GCSE thing. Luckily I have an IMI level 2 that they'll take. Seems a but stupid as I was doing a more qualified job for 7 years...

 

Anyway still mega happy

They've announced the potential line-up for new Top Gear;

 

Chris Evans, Sabine Schmit, Chris Harris.

 

Has the potential to make it a program about car reviews rather than glorified public school boys own annals, I hope.

[Ghosty]

Coulthard too apparently. Wouldn't be surprising as he's out of a job re: F1 anyway.

[hairnet]

Got a new bumper for my 2cv.

 

 

It's in primer at the moment, can't decide whether to paint it in cellulose grey, Rustoleum black or get it powder coated.

Oooh, PO bumper? Don't powder coat it. It's rubbish. My Louis Barbour bumper (and my rear adventure bar) has not done well with powder coating. The stuff just chips, cracks and then traps moisture in. And worse, is then a pain to get rid of. Paint all the way! But I'd zinc primer it before paint.

Yes, it's one of Louis' new bumpers. Solid bit of kit. Thanks for the heads-up regarding powder coating, I've got to paint the light bar too so I will try and paint with celly.

Yeah, I made the mistake of powder coating the light bar too. In places, all that remains is the powder coating...

FTFY.

[Cheggers]

That's work finished until January 5th, with my team ending the year on 180% of target. I feel a bit of serious car shopping coming on when I get my bonus

 

Also, I fly out tomorrow to spend Christmas with Ms_Chegg....Happy days

The headline I read was "BBC Announces unknown presenters alongside Chris Evans" or something equally daft.

Yeah, because Sabine has only been on Old New Top Gear (as it shall forthwith be called) about five times, including one show pretty much dedicated to her and a Transit Van, and shock horror Chris Harris is someone who knows about driving, and not about larking around.

 

And then it went on to suggest there will be episodes that are just Evans and nobody else.

It's incredible isn't it? The worst launch since the Rover 75, when BMW went "New car! Oh, by the way, we think Rover is doomed."

TV to myself so Pink Panther Strikes Again is on, I have 5 days off and some nice beer to ease myself into the holiday mood. Hic.

[hairnet]

bought a tin (grumble) of quality street for the sis and bro

[Lord Sterling]

Went to Ludlow today because I like Ludlow and I like being there. Had a fairly good day of picture taking/wondering around/charity shopping (didn't buy much though) I also managed to bag a space in one of the narrowest roads in Ludlow in the centre of the town. It's unrestricted parking but the road is so narrow all cars have to drive partly on the pavement to get passed, but it's such an unused road residents just park there anyway. No parking charges = a relaxed day wondering around.

 

Only grump was nearly smacking a racist bigot twat who had given a Romanian girl selling the Big Issue a hard time in front of a lot of people, she looked Muslim as she was wearing a headscarf. Admittedly I'd not seen the actual incident but came across it and asked what had been going on, twat_lad was still mouthing off at the people trying to protect her. Told the racist tosser to do one before I did something that would land me a criminal record, thankfully he was also being given a hard time by several other people including 4 young girls and 2 young lads.

 

I then bought £10 credit for my phone, somehow I'd left the bloody receipt at the till and only realised when I got home, I called up the shop and they did everything to help including giving me the number over the phone which I was able to add credit. Excellent!

 

Still need to visit the actual castle itself though.

Get another one, place it facing down, paint the cross section in red and paint the verticals in white.

Waitrose carpark yesterday............. dark blue Mitsubishi Space Wagon GLXi, looked almost identical to my Space Runner but too many doors. 

 

Enfield Town last night. Heavy traffic. Spotted R5 in white, 5 door with a couple of young bloke driving. Car was totally unmolested. Ace.

 

This morning? Slightly barried Capri in Edmonton.
