Scratch that. Looks like someone has already swapped them on the back of the radio. I'll just swap them back.

Win.

No need to cut anything just poke the terminals out of the block and reinsert the other way around.

I got myself some 'new' darts while I was there for £2.

Driving down the A14 yesterday, I saw one of those Mitsubishi 3000 GTO things (them that you used to see loads of during the 'grey import craze' years driven by bankloaned-up 20 yr-olds and topless tomato-faced Brian Glover lookalikes). It was on a visibly nose-heavy 4-wheel trailer, being towed by a..... 57-plate Seat Ibiza dragging its arse hopelessly along the road . Bravo!!!!

Seen these two old Saab’s parked up on my highland adventure, couldn’t resist

[Jerzy Woking]

Cashed in the ten small tins of coins (20p and under) that I have been putting in them for the past 3 years (admittedly not many in the past year or so).

Grand total of £557.34, which is nice.

The funniest thing about this for me is that Audi don't know how to spell "brake".

The word is Spain will be in second lock down . I hope they are wrong for you and me, I live here.

I personally would not bother with any vacation which are planed so far into the future.

Too late, I already have one NYE in Benidorm!

Not a problem to me, £400 in November is ATOL and credit card, so one way or the other should come back.

The Benidorm was £50 flight and refundable hotel.

I'm not as daft as it looks. Well I probably am!

[Remspoor]

Benidorm, seems like there are changes there too.

Firstly never believe newspapers, especially the Sun. In fact don't buy or read it.

Secondly Benidorm, Levante /Rincon area relies on at least 60%, probably more British.

They will want to attract other nationalities, but it's wishful thinking to that amount. There will always be room for us.

Last resort, there's always Ryanair.

Loved this Maluch since the '80s, when polish couples rode them trough Romania to holidays in (I guess) Turkey/ Bulgaria/ Greece. Always with a really small luggage trailer after them, and filled to the brim with whatnot. For the last 10 years I was looking online for a good one to get from Poland, but somehow whenever one looked good the seller didn't speak English, or  he just sold it, or there was no cheap enough flight. Maybe my post was better fitted for the grump thread? Neah! I still love a Maluch!

Today this arrived!

Then I had some fun while getting to know wire speeds, voltage and stuff like that:

Ray Charles esque skills on oxidised unprepared metal. Brilliant!

They didn't even try to use "indicators"

Yes but lack of space and money for buying small gas bottles. If I get fed up with it I'll go that route.

Oops! Welders are widely available
