Sold our camping trailer today, after 5 years of ownership. Despite this, we made over £1000 on it!

Was the cherry on the cake for this week, as we paid off the mortgage on Tuesday! Started it in 2011, so quite happy to have it paid back within 10 years.

The off slip from the northbound a34 at Abingdon is similar to that. You need to be in the right hand lane or risk airborne action.

Had to do a delivery into Oxford Street today. Advised the shipper I'd be lucky to make it there by 12.30, and that was a very optimistic ETA.

Sailed in and out, even Finchley Road was quiet. Shipper reckoned it was because London is on the precipice of Tier 3. I advised him to stop showing off with his big words.

Santa normally comes round on the back of a fairly new truck, was a very new Ford ranger last year. Its run by the local round table so I always thought the company car poshos competed every year... 

The recession seems to be hitting the North Pole as well as Santa was towed by a mildly barried 03 golf that smelt HOT... I approved and put some actual pound coins in the bucket

Interesting. We also have a Round Table Santa. Usually pulled by a Defender.

But yeah, I assumed that it wouldn't be out collecting, this year. Who knows, aftee seeing yours.

First world problems with having a 'powerful' electric car.

Probably have been quicker to wait in one of the queues then!

Just realised the stupidity of that statement, they own* a new electric PORSCHE so why would they queue?

Honestly, that bloody Graun article has been a gift to the ICE gammons.  Not only does it read like something from 2012 it just reinforces every stereotype.

On any decent paper the motoring editor would have looked at it, thought 'twats can't work out how to run their new car, how sad' and spiked the thing and then given the writer a bollocking for wasting his time.  Instead the stupid lefty chip wrapper prints it and its been poisoning the discussion for the last two weeks.  Idiots.

That's why I enjoyed the article, money doesn't buy common sense and these kind of stories will become more prevalent with increased ownership.
Like hybrids with their charge cables in original packaging in the boot since purchase that another article a while ago complained about its the decisions made by owners that make the impact.
My 16 year old son works for a hotel on the Ashdown Forest and nearly all of the staff have no clue how to use the Tesla charger stations outside or which one is universal and what cars are compatible, He does as he shares our interests and curiosity in cars.
A lot of the guests are just used to the familiarity of their home charger and one at work.

My 4 year old managed to make me a student the other day; I say to her, your belly is covered in food thus go and sort it out, she says ,'its called the torso!' So I agree it's the bit that the head, arms and legs are attached too. I add that the belly is also called the stomach too!,,,,so she with a knows what shes talking about face hits back with 'no, the stomach is inside the torso so it's not the same thing! Well that's me back in the box haha.
