Well you did get it, it was a subtle reference to the 1997 song, but I feel it went under the radar

Just come back from a visit to the indoor market, which I would normally avoid, especially on a wet Saturday.  To my surprise there was a band playing, numbering 15 or so: one guitar (bass I think) one drumkit and the rest brass.  So I stopped to listen and they played a couple of big-band swing classics, and then finished off with Greased Lightning!  I complimented them, obvs!

This album. A proper fucking earworm, this track! Very, very French. 😎

Just back from Maidstone Exhaust Centre and I must say it was a thoroughly good experience.  Maestro exhaust now leak free.  It put up a bit of a fight and there was zero chance of me doing it at home, it was one of those jobs, I'm very happy I farmed it out.  They treated the car with more respect than I expected given its appearance, and made sure that if I want exhaust work doing in the future, that's the place I'm going to go.  I feel like I'm finding some pretty good places for old car work lately and the Maestro is looking and driving better and better with each new job that's completed.

I have also always had good service from these guys, excellent prices on tyres as well.

From his elated reaction I'm going to assume the guy in the C15 was an Aston Martin owner getting revenge.

20 years ago, a person in France had a vision. An epic epiphany that would go unsolved for years. 

Generations of drivers thought the little cubby hole in the lower dash of the Citroën Xsara Ph2 was for no reason, just to infuriate the driver as their carefully placed small items shot under their feet as they turned right off the a40 onto the b4002 and sit empty for years. 

The dream is realised, Citroën foresaw the Samsung z flip 3 🌠

 

A phone from 2021 worth easily 5x the value of the car it's sat in, fits in the useless bloody hole and doesn't hinder accces to 1st, 3rd and 5th.

It also looks like genius storage for floppy disks, a wide pack of Players and broadcast cartridges. Those French thought of everybody when designing their cars...

[Remspoor]

No it was for that pack of Gauloise
