Reading about the Rover 800 Mk1/Mk2 Hybrid as written about by RoadworkUK on Hooniverse:

... and then seeing the very same car itself on Saturday, tucked away on a residential street in Brownhills.

I watched Mr Wobbler's YouTube review of the £4 ZX last night ... quite funny that YouTube thought an ad for Louis Vuitton was somehow appropriate. I can just see me in a knackered old Citroen with a £800 bag...

Had a quick play with a new toy this morning and made this out of an old piece of metal from Gwen bent to 90 degrees.

Obviously loads to learn still and it needs fixed into the vice better but it is a start.

Metal work tools are ace and it was a lucky find on ebay at a good price. Now I have been looking at all the posts on 'how to make a shrinker stretcher stand' and not actually doing anything else!

A warning to be careful about drink driving as we are getting close to Christmas and Plod are out there checking on people.

 

Last night I was out for a few drinks. One thing led to another and I had a few too many pints and then went onto the whisky. Not a good idea

 

Knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave my car at the pub and took a taxi home.

 

Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint at the top of the road where they were pulling over cars and performing breathalyser tests.

 

Because I was in a taxi they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I've never driven a taxi before and I am not even sure where I got it from...

No cycling ninjas or UFO spotters on the drive home. Even the normally absolutely dazzling headlights coming the other way seemed less dazzling.

 

Checked for inappropriate use of sunglasses but no. Will buy lottery ticket this week.

My turn to cook dinner tonight and imagine my delight when I realised the meatballs, spaghetti and garlic bread all take 14 minutes to cook.... My OCD is ecstatic and I am at peace with the world...

Fact: That's one of my fastest accelerating videos (in terms of views) of one of the slowest accelerating cars I've owned. (er, with a water-cooled engine anyway). 968 views in a week. Not bad. I still need to do a follow up 'walkaround' video. It will happen. Probably.
