Made sure to get into the neighbourhood spirit and put the outdoor decorations up today.

 

Battery powered LEDs, great stuff.  The little function selector box slots neatly into the coin cubby in the dash.  Obviously, don't drive around with them all flashing like that.

 I passed a bike test in 1978, it was a bloke in a brown flared suit watching me with a clipboard, ticking boxes as I rode round the block 

44 years on I'm fully licenced to kill myself on whichever 1000cc of death I like the look of

Just been to M&S, thought that looks nice, HOW MUCH!!!

After Xmas , you could sell the control box to Liverpool council to run the city's traffic lights , it can't do any worse !!

I've seen some tough jobs but chasing evasive plants with a spade has to be up there, especially if they have the diction to talk you out if it.

There was an E Class Mercedes abandoned in a front garden just up the road from us. That got lights put on it for a couple of Christmases. It got moved about 18 months ago. I last saw it looking even more abandoned behind some garages nearby. Made me a bit sad. I'd enquired about buying it, but no interest.

I know they're something that usually are more a cause for being grumpy than happy, but a nod to Hagerty Insurance again.

Just swapped cover from the Cavalier to the R25 and it took us a grand total of 7 minutes on the phone.  Absolute picture of efficiency and the guy on the phone was polite and cheerful enough.

Complete contrast to trying to adjust the mileage on the Caddy which is with a mainstream provider which took me nearly half an hour of bashing my head against the nearest wall.

That's the 2nd oldest son collected his master's degree with distinction  in advanced plant engineering  , now going for a Dr's degree ,the same kid that primary and secondary schools could not teach and wrote him off , left it to family and home education to help him. Makes you wonder what we pay teachers for ..

And I always get sat behind a big head ..

[High Jetter]

Liked for the beating of adversity, not for the obstruction of your sight-line!

Can't you in the UK just log into the insurance company's website and quickly change it? We can do that here.

It probably depends on the insurance company

For a couple of minutes today my TIPO was parked next to this miura one side and maserati on the other. The maserati was not a happy looking car, more like a Ford Mustang imitation. The miura was mostly obscured by men salivating over it. £2million!
