I'd rather not be in a crash in that, it looks like it'll fold up like a concertina...

For the first time in 7 years, the birds Golf convertible has a working blower motor ..

Nice it went according to plan, and gave my tinkering mojo a boost😀

Apart from being out of the UK right now and away from work, not a lot else has caused me anything to grin about lately.

However, finding this small pin badge given to me by Fatha_Sterling's partner, was grin-worthy:

Its a badge of a Fiat Tempra. I've never seen another one. It was first either in Fatha's Nissan Primera or Volvo V40. I recalled wondering why this badge was in a car that it had nothing to do with. I didn't realise it was taken out of the car before it was sold.

There is a small glass display cabinet in which one shelf has some cars, a couple I have bought for my Dad, the badge now takes pride of place in there.

After my grump about the scottish highlands being absolutely ram packed, I drove 8.5 hours south and I'm still in scotland. But finally, I'm not surrounded by Americans in rented RVs!!
