That would have been about £60k when new, it’s come down from there.

The stupid stick on tat (and perhaps a shit respray) have not added anything to the value, regardless of what was spent on them.

Pretty sure that was crashed just down the road from me at some point. The tyres may have had something to do with it though there was allegedly other factors at play.

Dunno if we've had this one before but my missus figured it describes me to a 'T':

"These days I only seem to go to three shops down the town: Vision Express, Boots The Chemists and Greggs.
That's right - my life is just Specs & Drugs & Sausage Rolls,"

Never mind what they are doing with it but an interesting little road legal vehicle

My wife is having a rant about the world widelife fund of Australia or something which in an article on platypus says that the plural of platypus is platypus and then goes on to use platypuses throughout the rest of the article.

Left the workshop earlier and down the farm track to see a car blocking the entrance behind the gate (not uncommon) 

As I pull up to the gate I see a young lady having a wee, clocking she's been rumbled she panicked, jumped up and bare arse ran diving back into the car to make a quick getaway. Made me laugh.

Cant be local as There a services about 30s up the road!

Just been to a do that was a mixture of people from Ellesmere Port, Newcastle and Wr*xham. I swear to God they had more tattoos than teeth (including the women) and apparently there was a big kick off and the coppers got called.

 

Edit: there was a fella on with a dole pole, who was proper putting on the struggle* he had to walk. Two hours later, smashed out of his nut and he's on the dance floor busting out some moves that would make John Travolta and most break dancers sweat.
