Thanks, I'm intrigued to know what you've got now. I haven't been keeping up with your antics of late but I'm at work today with very little to do, so autoshite catch up day it is.

Here's mine.

And here's its cheap Chinese stereo.

Here's the rest of the fleet as it currently stands:

Saw a car on my way home today with the URL "https://www.bridgeitoptions.co.uk/" on the back of it.

"Bridge It Options"? I thought, must be a scrap merchant, unironically festooned on a Nissan Cube too.

But no, its an exceedingly dodgy looking local care home service. Relatives getting to old and busted? Simply bridge them. Recruitment page image is an odd choice

Edit: In hindsight I've now no idea why I thought it was a scrappers, aside from the name:

Is that a real car - I don't get out much!

Was handed a copy of Novembers LRO magazine today. Who is that scruffy bald headed bugger in my workshop, should've pulled his jeans up before having his picture taken...Oh wait.......................well I did ask Martin to get my best side. And the back is my best side.

I had an interview with LRO, Mark Saville got that job. I did do an article (and get paid for it) as part of the interview process though, so technically I have worked as a motoring journalist. I think the main reason I didn't get the job is because I decided to go full Clarkson and start slagging off caravan owners (which didn't make it past the editor).

Driving through a nearby village this afternoon I spotted my old Movano parked up at the side of the road.  I thought that was long dead given that when I sold it it was out of MOT and the engine was on its last legs, but someone must have fixed it because I checked online when I got home and it's still T&T'd.

Took the Rover out for a supply run earlier (an essential journey... perhaps somewhat offset by the non essential journey I made in the MX-5 to the unit where the Rover is kept!), first proper drive since I adjusted the clutch last week. Feels so, SO much better to drive!

And when I was filling it up, I got my first "don't see many of those now!" comment.

I have said that when filling the DS and a shite car is alongside. You get some very strange looks :)

Traffic chaos at Hadlow, workmen have just shut the A26 completely to dig the road up... without warning the bus companies or creating diversion for artics.

It is entertaining watching the lost art of the three point turn outside our house as cars turn around. A MINI did it in seven and is holding the record.
