MorrisItalSLX Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Big grin today. My Mum’s old car drove past me! I haven’t seen it since 2007 when it was sold. Mum was very pleased with the news that it was still going strong. LightBulbFun and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Just visiting my Dad in a Wales. In hospital in Bangor. I think I might have to learn the language at some point. He insists on talking to the nurses in Welsh. Luckily the Doctors I have spoken to today both had home counties accents and were talking sense in the queens English.

''To anyone who thinks these re safe try stopping at the red X and watch your life flash before your eyes as everyone else fails to stop. Yes I have done this, you get hooted, cars and trucks swerve and you don't breathe again until there are at least 10 vehiles behind you. Smart motorways are killers; driver have to decide between looking up or ahead to check no one has stopped, its impossible...'' Good post Rob. Yes, me too. Driving up the m25 a week or two back at night on the way back from France. M23 and m25 junction down to one lane clockwise. All others red x. Me in lane 1 queueing.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow when I get up sharp.

Zelandeth Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Just spent the last half hour standing outside staring into the distance not really focused on anything in particular. Currently drizzling and blowing a gale (well not really, but it's pretty windy by the standards of the norm for here). It actually sounds like home outside to me. I grew up on the top of a hill in northeast Scotland with very little by way of shelter around us - so "really windy" by our standards was "if you can lean fully into it at 45 degrees without falling over, then we'll agree it's windy..." - so it was usually pretty breezy year round. You don't realise how much you miss things sometimes. Not sure if that's made me feel more or less homesick...but I'm going for less for now I think... Also have tracked down where a large contributor to the water getting into the van is coming from, which should save me a lot of guesswork now I know to look there. myglaren and cobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 It seems I own one of 'those' cars. I just found a note on the windscreen of the 316, asking if it was for sale, with a name and a phone number. Do I contact them to say no, or will they just assume no contact means it's not for sale?

paulplom Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Partner has sent me this link. Not bothered about the house in the slightest. How much shite could I store/hoard there. It could be my dream. She has £150k equity in her house and we could rent it for £700-£800 a month. No brainer.
