passed a bright orange mini clubman (a real one not that fuckin' german thing) when passing through Sheffield on the A1 this morning and it put a proper grin on my face this morning, it was the one interesting vehicle on the road that i saw on the way to Nottingham.

In other news, Domestic Management is watching an ancient repeat of Ground Force from around the turn of the millennium.  The amount of chod in the establishing sequence was very gratifying.

 

And my admiration for Charlie Dimmock is unrestrained...

it should be on the grump, but since Ground Force went off air, Charlie and her dimmocks have got old, and fat...

My photo but sadly not my car so I think not in the running for the calendar.  You have to tell me what it is anyway and if anyone says Sunbeam Rapier they will get taken outside and shot.

Talking of welding, I needed to weld up a gap between two pieces of metal tonight and couldn't be bothered to connect up the bottle so tried the reel of flux cored that came with the welder. Not only did I manage to connect the two pieces but It was a better weld than I have been getting with the gas..... Why do I always find supposedly more difficult things easier than the simple things? story of my life...

It did make me grin though ....

Throwing the reg into a parts dealers site says it is a 1962 N/A Model N/A with the famous N/A engine.

The beauty of this place is that I get to see some amazing/shite cars I had never heard of but somehow raises a twitch in my staypressed

Today I made the final payment on a business loan I took out FIFTEEN years ago.  A business that imploded because my health went down the toilet and my partner at the time was a massively abusive arsehole.  Now I'll be funelling those payments into my savings account.  I last had savings when I was 18 and my life has been such a mess since then it's taken until now, when I'm 34, to get back to the start again.  I feel good about today so let's hope this winning streak continues with the Renault jobs I'm doing in a bit.

The dollop behaved impeccably today, even the air con is ice cold (Chester was laying on the floor with the two vents open blowing icy blasts over his hot, fat little body - he approves! :)  ), no alarm malfunction and it even started as and when requested. I don't for one moment think my 'fix' has, er, fixed it but it was nice if only for one day.

 

Oh, and I received my new copy of 'The Definitive Alice Cooper' cd which I played loudly while driving (giving Bentley owners a bad name is fuuuuun!). It is not as good as I remembered, I was upset until the volume went up then it got better :)

I'd still like to weed her herbaceous border.

You'd need a fucking great plough to deal with that these days as opposed to the small trowel that might have done the job twenty years back.

Spotted a set of mk5 RS wheels for the Escort today,only up the road and starting at a reasonable £90.

So I sends the seller a message,asking what's his best price if I pick up within the hour.

Now these are starting to pick up in price as many cars are being put back to std,so I'm hoping he'll keep them under £150 so I can get them refurbished. ..

Matey replies "80 if they go today".......see you in an hour says I !!!

Picked them up and they're in decent shape,3 of the tyres are almost new Proxes.Well happy..

He's also got a full RS engine/gearbox/ecu ect to sell, and a full Recaro interior that sadly doesn't match mine

He also showed me around the back of his little unit at a few things that May be up for sale before too long

Dad is collecting his new modern form way up north today. Told him last night about the pez station ritual. He has just called me, says he has just had a bollocking from the attendent for using his phone near the pumps. Knowing him he will be mortified.
