This morning I visited my local Mercedes Emporium to pick up a new brake pedal rubber. The Parts dept. used to be a little door round the back of Service, not anymore.

I had to go in the showroom to a little area called ' Mercedes Collection'

I was amused by the number of different models on display and the number of chavvy hipsters looking at the garish, big wheeled hatchbacks and crossovers that had £299 per month emblazoned down the side.

 

There were some attractive elegant saloons - standard spec C,E and S Classes and a lovely big Coupe, what was the CL , God knows what they cal it now, what I do know is that it was £98,000 !

One of the fugly SUV things had 315/40x19 tyres- essential for a diesel shopping car obviously.

The best thing, was this

I've got the big excites. I've just discovered that this is happening this weekend in town.

 

It's the Pista (circuit) Veliko Turnovo - essentially rally cars doing circuit racing around town.

 

I've just spent the day watching scrutineering and practice for this, it was as good as I'd hoped. Roll on race day 2moz.

Full report/pictures/waffle/turgidity to come, probs in my spotty arsed thread or summat.

 

In the mean time . . . . . .

Just sold a dc07 to a bloke who came and picked it up in a 16 plate range rover, paid with a 50 note and said it was for one of his bed and breakfasts, and to keep his number and let him know of any more I have! Which is nice

Well, he probably didn't get to afford a Range Rover by buying fancy new vacuum cleaners.

I'm looking at getting a new motor and popped into Cambridge Audi while waiting to go to football the other weekend.

Fuck me, if you think MB is hipster, then call into Audi. I'm never going near one of their dealerships again. It was a boutique, a boutique full of pretentious cunts.

 

I found the MB showroom relaxed and sophisticated in comparison.

It's all blurry, leading me to think that the shutter was open for too long probably because of light levels. Shorter shutter speed would have worked better, perhaps with a larger aperture and higher ISO. Alternatively a tripod would have done well, or using a night shot scene mode if available.

 

The darks are a little crushed, back of the car is obliterated by shadow. Again, higher sensitivity would have helped or some form of secondary illumination.

 

Composition is OK, car is a little high in the frame.

 

I'm starting to think you didn't mean in a technical, photographic sense.

This was on Gumtree free for collection. Has a bit of damp and needs a refurb inside. 1986 abbey executive 360. Can probably have it decent enough for a few breaks away to get me used to towing for about a ton. All taps are out and so is water pump and heater. Still has zig unit inside and fire etc so I need to ask a friend to check wiring over as it has sockets and lights but a lot of bits have been removed.

I prefer the pizza shops of 'some kind of nationality' not sure what. They will sell you a massive (probably cat meat) but they fill you up and taste alright for under a tenner.

 

Had my first pizza in about 6 months. I chose the Uzbekistan (probably) pizza place... I regret everything.

What's wrong with this pic

The car's facing the wrong way for a space that has no through-exit. #legally

The lighting, composition and focus all need adjustment. #photographically

The car is too small and French. #crucially

Caravans are free because storage can be expensive and you'd be surprised how little you actually use it when you own one. Some housing developments have a clause saying you can't have a boat or caravan outside it

A pair of car ramps make excellent disposable bbq stands I found today!

I'm OK for storage. As for using it,I live in Derbyshire and there is lots of fields scattered around for caravan owners to pitch up on. Be nice to say bugger it and clear off for a night
