The talbot express facebook group is always a laugh - the lengths people will go to avoid fixing something. Give me fucking strength! The side repeater is 18" away from the indicator, there is line of sight between them. "Nope, instead of running a short length of wire, I will fill and paint the holes on both sides of the van and have no visible indicators.

A few weeks ago someone fitted JML touch lights and AA powered fairly lights all around the inside of their van and was dead pleased with herself, it was apparently "easier than finding a new fuse to get the normal interior lights working".

 

A few weeks before that some decided she didn't like cupboard doors on her motorhome, so she simply unscrewed them all and gave them away immediately.

I know a lady that’s probably on there and these sound her sort of people. She’s recently retired from a working life travelling to the dodgiest bits of the World for HMG. Just after retiring her mother died leaving her a sizeable farm - in The Herts/Bucks borders, which she’s sold. Safe to assume millions in the bank, so what does she buy? Yes, a knackered old Talbot camper, that she loves. Last time I saw her she’d just been to the Scottish Highlands in it -;took a week to get there.

Antibiotics make me grin!, After literally telling my Mrs to kill me last week as I was in that much pain, I'm now back on full form, what an absolute bloody miracle they are.

An Apache helicopter has just gone thundering over my house at about 150 feet.  Slightly* intimidating sight.

That's a bit like snakes-and-ladders? One click and you're back to page 1, and have to work your way back to 135+?

Spent a sunburnt afternoon reading some 1996 Top Gear Magazines courtesy of @bramz7 sat in the sun. This coupled with some Stella and a newly built garden bar has made me a happy man.

It seems you have. Well spotted!  Trying to stop his Allegro’s bonnet flying off by the look of it.

That reminds me, I owe @Tayne a drink...

If @Mr_Bo11ox gets his hoof on with the horsebox he could open an entire mobile branch of the barber shoppe group...

How often do you get interviewed from the driver's seat of a 1986 MG Metro?

Got the bookshelf in as well, a true pro

I hope there was something for the perma-triggered to get excited about on the shelves, a sneeky copy of Mein Kampf, one of Irving's books on the Reich, Mao's little red book, vivisection for the amateur, that kind of thing.

Idriveaclassic has done a test on my former neighbour's old XR2.

Lovely car that was.  Looking even better now tbh.

Gave son a covid hair cut yesterday. Not sure if he's happy or not.
A bit like the mona lisa smile.

My grandmother had a pair of Staffordshire pottery dogs that sat on the windowsill like that.
