Sort of. But not really.

This is an Emira.

One of the few new cars I'd go and buy if I had the money nowadays.

They've got it so so right.

Went over to help out some mates who are in the scouts, they needed some stuff ferrying up a boggy track for a scout camp. Made a night of it.

Picked the T25 up from the unit:

ON MY WAY:

Hmm

It got very boggy, but I wasn't far from camp and I didn't want to absolutely rip the fuck out of the track in these private woods that the owner very kindly allows the scouts to use, so I left the van here for the night looking like a scene from a netflix documentary. They said a stock 110 defender drove up here so I thought I'd be fine, but they didn't tell me this was in the middle of summer, 6 years ago and it took an entire scout group pushing to get it to the end....

Instead of the roof tent, I slept in my hammock. Best nights kip I've had in a long time.

Sleep was possibly aided by campfire burgers and beer.

Now I need a winch, I reckon.

Is the rule of Saabs a thing? I parked up in a pub car park the other night and came back to find it'd made a friend. Is this normal?

 

Yes it is, in fact I believe it is a rule these days!

Went to it. Had to park our Avenger on a satellite car park miles away and get a bus to the NEC.

(They are pretty big, and it’s scrabbles a bit on full lock, but it’s a small car which makes the wheels look chunkier than normal, if that makes sense. Ride quality is superb, tyre noise is a bit much.)

I see the problem, people see the sign warning Ford and think "I will be fine I'm in a Mercedes"

Useless fecking contractors. But it's a grin because I just laughed. 

Context - I live in a flat so lots of communal areas. Many ongoing maintenance issues. 

Two main issues: 

The communal hallway door needs a new fire closer thingy 

The communal bin store door needs a new hinge and digilock. 

What have they done? 

Put the fucking door closer on the bin store doors* 🤣🤣

Useless cunts. Been waiting 6 months for it to be sorted

Needed a big moped to go from my house to the unit where my ‘toys’ are stored so I don’t have to dick around with moving cars all the time, and procured this while having one of my cars MOT’D today at the garage:

Went in a posh shop today , the type that has a man on the door to keep riff raff out and open the door for you .  Prices were small . As in lots of digits on a small plaque. Designer stuff laid out on stands , staff who helped , and the wife did some more Xmas shopping .....  I can actually say I have paid less for a car than what was carried out the door in a little black bag , door was opened by the doorman ...

I have seen some price tags in my life but this was unreal .. !!

Christmas adverts. Get in the fucking sea.

Christmas music in the shops. Get in the fucking sea.
