My mate is selling an automatic flat four 2.1 VW T25 caravelle on ebay. Someones just asked if it's got full service history and if not they want to see receipts for when the cambelt and clutch were changed

That’s standard that is. Actually had a bloke viewing my old R50 MINI (which, much like its shonky Austin/BL predecessor was cam chain) who insisted on having money off the asking price to cover the cost of a new belt.

Interesting to see that engines 70 years from now will look like they did around 20 years ago.

Just spent a morning sending out really insincere sales emails to customers that I know have zero interest in buying anything 

edit

i enjoy it because I can be quite over the top as in “whatever you do, please DO NOT hesitate to contact me and I will do my utmost to assist in anyway I can”

etc etc

You missed out a Very before utmost and an immediately after assist.

Did you ask the AI if they could look like they'd stalk you and kill you if you ever tried to break up with them.

Our vet rocked up today in this , the most filthy new shaped Defender I’ve ever seen - steel wheels to complement the salt grime.

Wow, I'm surprised to see a new Defender actually getting used properly!  The lesser spotted three door version, too.

The wife's just been for her yearly health Mot, everyone gets a free full check once a year.

In the door at 8am at a walk-in clinic, registered and sat in the queue within 5 mins. Another 10 and the doctor calls her in,has a chat about her medical history and decides on a full suite of blood tests.

The doctor also says as she has hit the magical age of 55,a mammogram will be arranged as part of the check up.

All of which are done on site,there and then at a cost of 15 lev €7.50. 

Done and dusted by 10am which included having to wait 15 mins for the x-ray machine to warm up .

Took £2 winning scratch card, put it towards bread and milk.

Thought fuck it and got another.

Won again, only £1 this time.

It's very cold so I've found my slippers again, and it's like putting my feet in to a moose's arse it's so warm and nice.
