A day to celebrate treason with fireworks and barbeque.

Don't know why but it looks like you've been photoshopped into this picture...

Just as we are becoming accepting of £2/l fuel, we are also being trained to accept £50k as the minimum for a new “family” car, although they prefer to disguise it as a monthly payment with the upfront and final payment fees hidden deep in the small print.

Brilliant piece of journalism.

This month's Classic Retro Modern.

 

There's an interesting story to tell around the Tata Indica and the City Rover I reckon.

Took up the pallet wood walkway I made years ago and reclaimed all the screws and brackets, whoop.

Just registered the SLK on the work system, I imagine someone with their eyes on stalks looking at the CO2 emissions in a world where everyone is getting hybrids and electric. PA! 

I already get regular computerised warnings about my car being over 5years old and more than 90k miles, telling me I need to to address these action points..  not going to happen anytime soon 😂

I didn't know whether to put this here or in Grump, but I decided here...

Just been on FB and someone has posted up a wall of boxed Vanguards cars at a fiver each plus post, so I sent him a message with some requests.  MrsR looks over from her chair while I'm typing and asks what I'm doing; cue a rant about me having too many already.  Meanwhile I detect an increasingly urgent signal that I should go to the loo.

Well I wasn't quick enough typing, was I?  Just a spot on my trousers (clean on today) and undies (yesterday's) but I've had to put them in the machine and nip upstairs for some clean ones.  I can almost feel her trying not to laugh.

Worse things happen, I guess.

I too  have been so excited I have peed my pants. 😄

Wife and me are on holiday.

Camping. Filled the Astra with stuff we might need. But not stuff we do need. 

We went to the beach.20220704_141107.thumb.jpg.110562672a84de9623dbcfbd53d045f8.jpg

Put the tent and gazebo up20220704_174953.thumb.jpg.bc296a96edf02a51d9303fc02bd48425.jpg

Then I took photos of a 1.8 NA Deisel Romahome.

I think that you should address the actn points with this:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334286474385

Sadly, it's getting more and more normal for me.  It's not excitement, nor even fear; it's age.

Sorry to hear that. I was trying to make some light-heartedness out of a not so nice situation. Black humour does not always come across well

You are right, but this just made me laugh.

It is a similar vibe to the infamous Clarkson couldn't be bother to drive a Vectra incident.

I do realise that, tbh, but thank you for clarifying anyway.  It's been with me some time now and the novelty is wearing off so perhaps I'm just being over-sensitive or something.

I hear you, wife experiencing similar and tbh once or twice myself. New lessons to learn.

My personality it seems. Or maybe that should have been left at home.  Somehow managed to fuck up the whole trip yesterday afternoon, by getting cross about something.
