Poor Xsara! 33 miles in the last month then 190 in a day! Need to get the rear tyres changed and balanced though, over 70 and everything just gets blurred with the vibrations. Brakes work well too after a near full oh fuck stoppo on the m5 due to an utter dickhead trying to cut across to a junction... Luckily my arse was working too (and my prop didn't get damaged) 

I got to drive through the Black Country Museum too. And be on TV... Better writeup in my thread in the open forum, but what a wicked day!

Yes, it is genuine, one of several well known photos in Saab circles (includes another of a 900 with a VERY large tree on it.

As an aside, back in the day, the Saab 99 was the only production car approved by the FIA for rallying without a roll cage. The 900 (which is basically the same shell) had the A post pillars weakened so it could get better crash test results.

I will go and find my anorak now......

Had to do a delivery into Oxford Street today. Advised the shipper I'd be lucky to make it there by 12.30, and that was a very optimistic ETA.

Sailed in and out, even Finchley Road was quiet. Shipper reckoned it was because London is on the precipice of Tier 3. I advised him to stop showing off with his big words.

Santa normally comes round on the back of a fairly new truck, was a very new Ford ranger last year. Its run by the local round table so I always thought the company car poshos competed every year...

The recession seems to be hitting the North Pole as well as Santa was towed by a mildly barried 03 golf that smelt HOT... I approved and put some actual pound coins in the bucket

First world problems with having a 'powerful' electric car.

Probably have been quicker to wait in one of the queues then!

Just realised the stupidity of that statement, they own* a new electric PORSCHE so why would they queue?
