The middle ones look like a carrier bag tied around the ankle, tramp style.

I think we call them “Accomodationally challenged “ or some such shit rather than Tramps these days.

On of my colleagues has a clear out over the festive period, found these and brought them in for me, so I hunted around for the one ink pad which wasn’t all dried up.

His dad worked in a printers many years ago and thought I might like them. Yes I do like them. They can sit on my desk with the automotive models and paraphernalia I am slowly accruing.

I knew I was going to be driving down a little used country road. I didn't know a dusting of snow had survived on the road that the weak sun couldn't reach.

Only one thing to do in a non ABS car... Lock the wheels up and go skidding for fun!

Who knew you could buy premium Wheelbarrow tyres? I’ve just fitted a budget one this afternoon to mine, a Kenda by name on the side. Will I regret fitting budget wheelbarrow tyres? Will I be complaining of poor wet grip, snap oversteer on lift off or it being skittish when fully loaded with a concrete mix? 
 

Worried I’ve made the right choice, will it affect residuals if I came to trade my wheelbarrow in?

The ST170 is FINALLY back in my care. 

The bill for fitment of the new clutch did not make me grin but all was forgotten as soon as I hopped in, turned the key and moved off. Having just spent a week driving around Ireland in a gutless Renault Captur with annoying infotainment and zero feel to the gears and handling, the Focus is a revelation. I'd forgotten how much feel there was to everything, and now there's the added bonus of the clutch working as it should it is just such a joy to drive. I'm gonna get it out for a proper drive tomorrow to reward it (and me) for its patience while it was sitting in the garage.

My wife announced this morning that she was going to Boots to get some crystal meth. (She meant menthol crystals to clear her sinuses).

1959, a cement mixer wrecked near Winganon, Oklahoma.
By the time a tow truck came to haul it away, all of the cement had hardened inside of the mixer. The tow truck, because of the weight only took only the cab/frame.
66 years later the mixer remains and locals have painted it and added thrusters.
