Hands coated in oil I tried to wipe it off ASAP as I was drippi g everywhere and couldnt go into the house... Can sort of see where I wiped my hands... Should have gone to some council grass and done it 🙄 Wack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Guy 2 doors down has been bringing my nice sandwiches for the past week or so! Said the sandwich place on the same bit as the mot place he works at gives them away at the end of the day if unsold, because there's no sell by date they can't donate them. Their a van that drives around industrial estates type of job. They've been very nice. Have noted he said mot station, might enquire how one would procure his services before 02/09 and if the rust on my wing would be a mere advisory or fail... And would his daughter like to play in my paddling pool with my kids again 🤔 chodweaver, AnnoyingPentium, myglaren and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 No sandwiches today as he didn't know if I'd want any more. Said not at all, bring whatever you want so I think I'm getting more tomorrow 😂 Some nice chocolate and apricot brownies today though The vans come round our office too. Sometimes when hungover to fuck their a godsend but I never bother nowadays. Some people in my department go every day, 5 days a week, £3.40 a time. Always a huge long queue outside of it, if you don't see it pull into the car park before the hooter sounds your waiting in line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Final report on the Dash to Dubrovnik duo of Miss SL and her BF in the ex @BorniteIdentity Avensis SR, now in the Grin thread following a successful outcome..... They enjoyed the final drive up through France, avoiding toll roads and the LEZ in Rouen. Crossing the Seine: Another 1k clicked over, note cruising speed: Some rathar pleasant campsites in great weather: With the period correct camping set-up, mostly stuff we used in the '90s: Apparently they helped a French couple with their brand new tent, gaffer tape repairing a split pole. Other than a few cable ties given to a fellow Dash entrant I don't believe they used many of the tools or spares they took with them, good old Avensis. The oil consumption dropped once they were away from the mountains. Luckily it didn't rain much as the sluggish wipers now need attention. And 3,637miles after setting off towards the end of June, it reappeared on the driveway: It's now having a bit of a rest but at some point will become Miss SL's transport when Master SL takes over the Yaris. As it'll be kept here when she's up at uni that means someone (i.e. me) needs to use it every so often, yay!
