BEARD, obvs! If he got this one, and another one with the reg 'B3 ARD' and parked the avensis on the right and the '83ARD' car on the right and then it'd be really funny for about 200 weird people on the internet for like 18 seconds?

Our 13 year old cat comes in every morning and goes absolutely nuts. She's excelled herself today, besides seemingly being chased by imaginary creatures, running behind the couch and catching invisible flies, she's managed to clear the full length of the coffee table at top speed.

Small grin, but I was having a clear out in the shed just now and found an old time clock removed from a 1984 Mk2 Fiesta back when I used to work on it at college in 2002. It was removed from the car after apparently short circuiting and smoke began to come out of the back of it. I rescued it from the bin as I wanted to see if I could get it working again. Anyway, I forgot about it until this afternoon and thought I’d rig it up to my portable jump starter for shits and gigs. Well bugger me if the thing has magically cured itself and started working again. I think I will keep it for another 18 years and flog it on eBay.

Just got a phone call from a mate I've not seen in a while 

Can you get Thursday, Friday and Monday off work 

I think so ,it's pretty quiet, why 

Do you want to go to the IOM TT for free 

Fuck yeah :D

so I'm going Thursday, foot passenger on the ferry and camping though , unless I spot a vacancies sign in a B&B from the bus 

STOP THE BUS :)

Quick update , saw racing Thursday, the whole of the senior TT yesterday and the southern 100 Road races today , drunk more than I have in my life ever and experienced the most fantastic weekend of loved up bikers

Saw a guy In a bar I haven't seen for 5 years who's now organised a reunion with some other guys I have seen in a similar period 

The IOM is a place everybody should visit, it's addictive and a beautiful island

Not at all car related from but... 

The reason I couldn’t make Shitefest was because I was fulfilling one of my all time desires, seeing my favourite band perform last night. 

Muse were simply awesome! Musically, the show, the staging... all fucking awesome!! The best gig I’ve been to by far! 9F814F96-51E5-418F-9BFD-0404271C7D8D.jpeg

The wonderful Mrs_brownnova bought me these tickets as she knows I’ve always wanted to see them! It’s about the one thing it was worth missing shitefest for!

They do know how to put on a proper show,don't they!

1st saw them back in 2008 when they were the 1st band to play the brand new Wembley Stadium 

They had Biffy Clyro and My Chemical Romance as the "warm up".......

Almost like a mini festival  with the show lasting a good 6-7 hrs

Luton Festival of Transport today and the Maxi did a win! Second prize in class K for 1970s cars against a lot of competition so that was completely unexpected. Here it is in the winners' circle...

Class winner was the NSU Ro80 so we didn't mind coming second to such a rare car.

Reg HYW 330N and the owner's name was Steven, can't remember his surname. He mentioned Phil Blake as being the Ro80 guru so obviously knows him.

Probably bought his car from Phil. Phil's had something like 20 of them over the years, and was in the happy position of buying all of them when they were worth peanuts.

On the boat back from the TT now,  listening to bikers stories, my mate John had a mate who crashed at speed through a hedge and a good way into a field when he was 18-19

Somebody saw it and called the police, when the copper arrived he said how did you get so far in how fast were you going

What is the speed limit here 

40

39 then ,

Thinking on his feet to disguise the speed  he said , you see all those cabbages , they acted like ball bearings leaving me here 

The copper said , i've been a copper for 30 years, that's the best excuse I've ever heard
