Sorry no pic, because driving (still need to set up that dash cam I bought about 4 months ago....)

But drove past a catering van type thing this afternoon, thought nothing of it, until I saw the choice of tow car attached to it.

A bloody Daewoo Nubira estate! In that rather nice burgundy red colour

When did you last see one? Let alone being used to tow someone a bit more substantial than a tip waste trailer :)

 

I remember in high school there was a fit PE teacher who had a white Nubira Wagon.

The Nubira Wagon was possibly the most popular Daewoo model sold in Australia. There seems to be plenty around, whereas Matiz, Lanos and other models were quite rare from new.

Only just learned how to set the clock in the Mazda.  Buttons were hiding behind the phone holder.

I thought it was just "Lucas ignition components" 😉

I could try to change the Xsara Picasso's clock, but I fear of releasing some sort of demon or magic smoke from behind the dash 😅🤣

GT cars at Oulton park this weekend 

Just seen this posted, looks like it was slightly muddy

Towed a stuck van in the car park of our local country show.

Turns out fwd and transit/ducato type thing full of cheese gets stuck easily.

On the plus side unexpected payment.

After Easter another defleet of the older cars before influx of new , debowsing a 70 plate 50 odd k Crossland and I see the cover for the centre consule cubby is missing ...... I wonder how long that's been missing , pulling off the side panel produced 3 fag lighters , 5 ear rings , half a snickers and £13.64 in change .....I'm guessing it's been gone a while ...

I saw that in Liverpool on the 27 March.

Couldn't decide if it was accidental, or an advertising gimmick. Hazards were still going.
