Could make a lovely round table around that post and make it a great feature of the balcony.

Was briefly looking at new cars earlier and I came across a make I hadn't heard of before - BYD.

I clicked on the photos and the shot of the rear... crikey, Build Your Dreams, WTF! 😆

Oh dear, why can't people just get old gracefully 

[hairnet]

Plane got in early

Still took 2 hours to get out here

You'll never believe what rental they gave me - didn't think it was possible

Also have to go lobby for tea as coffee maker in room won't just give you water

As I started that sentence the reception lady finished it 😂

They must get asked all the time lol

Yes!! We’ve finally made it!! 
 

Clocks go forward tonight, officially spring time and the misery of winter is over. 🥳 

I’ll take another summer like last years please! Hot and sunny.

[horriblemercedes]

Land Cruiser passed MOT and the tester said he was really impressed by it. So am I to be fair. For a 22 year old car, it's remarkable. Everything works and it just starts and runs perfectly all the time. Can't believe how well I did with buying it

Glad I’m not the only one who can’t be arsed resetting them!😆

[catsinthewelder]

I reset mine but it insists that it's 2013 because a car built in 2011 won't accept a date after 31/12/2019.

[horriblemercedes]

Years ago I had a few Vauxhalls in a row. A Corsa, then an Astra, then a Vectra and then an Omega. That's perfect model range progression! 

 

I liked that all of them changed the clocks automatically at the right time. Good attention to detail in design there

Before the clocks went back last year, my Corolla always lost an hour travelling north across the Queensferry Crossing then corrected itself once we "hit land" again. It was always correct once the clocks went back, so it'll be interesting if the same happens now they're going forward again.

Just got home from seeing Lowkey, Stoked. 
Do yourselves a favour and check him out, an inspirational artist and a truly great man.

My son's mk4 astra seemed to get the bloody year wrong.  So the day part of the date time display was out, but the time was right.

It's stopped doing it now.  Vauxhalls that fix themselves.

Oh no

I'm starting to spot a trend

[richardmorris]

Fireman know how to protest in France. In fact all France knows how.

[Pieman]

Spotting a few classics leaving the NEC today on my journey home - noticed a Morgan, an ADO16 in beige, a beautiful convoy of four Capris including a white Tickford on the back of a beavertail, and I think I saw a blue Wartburg (only saw it for a split second heading in the other direction so it may not have been).

Great to see another fan! I’ve been following him for years, way back when I was in Uni. I saw him recently in Brum and he did not disappoint.
