What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread


Recommended Posts

For some reason I forgot the pre-Xmas grin on my parts collecting travels...... Haring out of Stourbridge to get back - I had occasion to slam on the brakes and deftly swing into a layby that was half occupied by a baby coach and blue mazda estate with a reprobate attmempting to fix washer jets.... Our very own @puddlethumper spotted out in the wild.

Looked in fine fettle. 

Mazda had been in the wars - flying debris damaging the rear tip edge of the bonnet sadly.

In a moment of genius I have ordered tomorrows Indian takeaway tonight, it's always that busy on NYE that it's not that good or takes forever to arrive  so this can now mature overnight in the fridge, as you all know it's nicer the next day anyway :)

Got to drive this awesome Land Rover 88 the other day, off road for the first time too. I was very honoured to be trusted with her. 200tdi conversion, running a straight piped exhaust. Just a beautiful machine. I think I'm in love.

just with the Land Rover of course, not the owner 😜

Coming event!

Facebook

In case that doesn't show up.... it's a free Poetry Night at Cooke's Studios, Barrow-in-Furness, Friday Jan 5th 5-7pm if anyone can make it.  Several poets will be reading work loosely themed around an ongoing exhibition (also free), and I'm one of those poets.

Barrow is a bit of a trek from this here big smoke but best of luck fella......

For the first timee in my life as I recall I worked out the 330 thirst over the Xmas Belgo Germany and back race route. Given I absolutely nail it on the Autobahn sections and never really hang about on any major routes - I was actually quite pleased with 32mpg overall..... Really was expecting a lot worse. 

Car behaved beautifully, ran like a switch watch, whizzed past the litter of broken down moderns along the way and sat in 2.5hrs of border crossing queues without a hiccup. 

I'll treat it to a full service and valet ASAP. 

I will be giving Belgium the swerve on my next visit to Germany, the queues on the Belgian roads were horrible. Swiss road surfaces are ace, why can't the A20/M20 up from Dover be like that, its almost as if they don't want to encourage foreign visitors or for Brits to go abroad.

Which doesn't say much, as witnessed.
