Discovered that one of the teachers from my school  became an author after leaving the staff.

He had a lot more hair in those days.

And all that because of an overpriced Rancho on eBay...

Of all the people it could be, @barrett fixed our car!

Quite surprising what these random distracted searches produce....

Four for a quid. Car boot sale this morning.

The chemical brothers are rather heavy.

They make the prodigy sound like the wurzels.

Made up for 5 months of barely any milage by driving 190 miles to York, then 100 miles to my dad's. 

Been a lovely day so far, another 100 miles to home

[beko1987]

Good little xsara! 

Fueled up at 06.45am at asda, York by 10, Peterborough by 12.40, Alwalton by 2, St Albans by 5 and home not long ago! 

460 miles on bang on 3/4 a tank! Was some fast bits too (on the a1 it was either 45/50 in l1 or whatever l2 was doing. I chose l2...) 

Its been nice to go out for a drive really. Usually I can't afford it as I spend so much on fuel to go to work, but today it was just me, the car and the open* road! 

Got this little lot to sort out now too, thanks @Jon!

Hungry now... 

[paulplom]

It's all about the drive atm.

Any excuse to get out.

Nope, it arrived via whatsapp.

 

 

Its a 2006 Big Fat Cunto. "She tops it up with oil"

 

The oil filter? Fell on deaf ears.

 

P.s. She's had the car 6 years.

The garage said the plugs have never been changed and fell apart.

 

She said the car feels brand new after a service.

Whilst talking to @Jim Bell today, I forgot that I never sent him this or indeed, shared it on the forum.

Check the mega brain fart, by me! Turn your sound on.

So my dad had my truck, which meant I came home from his in his Mondeo estate. Having already parked my own Mondeo estate in front of my MR2 on the drive.

My grey matter must have decided that I was in my own car, and due to the Rexton being off site, that I still had a car length behind me. 
I didn’t. ?

No damage at all to either car, thankfully. Impact was rear to rear and square on, like it was laser guided.

What a tatey!

There must have been a pay & play somewhere near Kimbolton, I passed the esso station on the A1 roundabout and it was full of them! About 15 miles later, one shot past me. Was a P38 range rover, fully lifted and with massive wheels, straight through exhaust and a snorkel. Bodyshell was stock. Made a lovely sound as it fucked on by. Was nice to see one that hadn't been bobtailed tbh

Dressed like that, if you're anything like the average poster on here, they'll give you free stuff until you leave!

Grin for today-drove back from Brighton to Folkestone, this waited until we were parked outside our own house to fall off:

DVLA get a lot of stick on here but after selling my old Micra on Wednesday last week and just getting the online change of keeper thing done before the 7pm cut-off, on Saturday I got the V11 through and the cheque for the tax refund came in this morning's post.
That's basically two working days plus a day in the post. Take a bow, Swansea. ?

Are bobtail P38s a thing? A rather more involved hackjob than the Jurassic RR.

The online service is pretty bang on to be honest. Usually get a new V5 through within a few days.

You can teach me! I've got Arc GIS on my laptop. Little knowledge, lots of existing data sets! 

Bloke who I replaced* went off to work with the ordnance survey as a data nerd, seems a good thing to get into

[High Jetter]

GIS. Isn't that a map?

Out for a bike ride this evening, got overtaken by a Renault 4.

There's been a rally of them down here the last few days, but my requests for photos to be taken whilst I'm driving either fall on deaf ears or result in a picture of the inside of a 406
