Shurely shome mishtake.
 

 

Seems reasonable. Drive the luxurious range rover, tow a land cruiser on the back and when the range rover breaks down, you can just swap vehicles around. It's the best of both worlds!

Was pleasantly surprised to read a positive story about Metros on the BBC website this morning: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-54423328

Although celebrating 40 years since it’s launch did make me wonder where the times gone...

I learned to drive in a Metro, and I owned a 100 many moons ago - can't actually remember the reason I let it go, or what flavour it was. But yes, deffo the feel of an underdog, as referred to in the article, and I liked driving them.

I had hoped secretly to have the full house of a 100, 200, 400, 600 and 800 when the 820 came onto the fleet, but it never worked out right, and now the 820 has left the building, it's unlikely I'll ever manage this feat.

saw a national breakdown firm carrying one of its own vehicles on a 7.5 tonner

it was a shit navarra tho

in other news i bought one of those jump starter same size as a phone thingys

was cheaper than just a power bank so thought why not

handy for the bike due to the short journeys it does during the winter

if it starts @dollywobbler's 3 pot a 750 twin shouldnt be a problem

Dunno but I'm off to the range after lunch for a new duvet and the Ford russet brown looks remarkably similar to the Hoover war-duration  town, which I need for one...

Wife found this and it made me smile

Yes, I've been using the primer for ages as its cheap on ebay for 2 cans (cheaper than at the Range) but I've never tried their paint, so that's good to hear! 

The Ford brown is metallic too... @brownnovacould have a sparkly brown nova...

I was told this afternoon that I have to put my clocks back tonight.

Trouble is, I can't remember where I bought them from.....

[High Jetter]

Back??? Not forward??? 

[TataBobu]

You'll sleep one extra hour. 

[brownnova]

But that’s one extra hour of lockdown for us Welshies! Highly unfair. 
 

I’m going to sleep so I don’t notice.

Tonnes better and more realistic. Was generally impressed!

[beko1987]

Ah good, you've got your sign on so people can avoid you! 

If it all goes wrong and you stall, don't fluster, screw the people behind, reset the car and move off again. You'll soon be fine!
