Love the trailer, Cav. But has it got a pennant flag on a giant aerial thing like the lentil weaving folks I see around here use to transport their poor kids in?

[Cavcraft]

Sure has, Pomp! Haven't worked out where to fit it yet though and planning on more cycle path than road work. Oddly enough the one part of town where pretty much all the vegetable knitting, lentil huggers live is only about 3/4 mile from me. The idea of growing my hair long, wearinkg khaki coloured canvas shorts and sandals all year round and calling kids and family 'guys' isn't my idea of growing old.

sad anti-smoking, 17 stone, hopelessly unfit bloke. Today the cycle path for a mile and a stop by the river for an ice cream.

 

It's the icecream that causes us all the problems Cavette, I know!

Keep it up.

I stopped for an icecream today but only walked across the road to get it

Never knew he had such good legs.

I have just visualised you in that image and it doesn't look good.

The last street I lived in in Hull was the inspiration for Viz's Modern Parents I think.

The last street I lived on in Hull was inspiration for C4's Shameless.

The street I used to live on made downtown Baghdad look like Kensington.

I had a couple of years in a place called Blacon once. Doesn't have the best reputation (to put it mildly) but it was 99% great fun living there, never a dull moment especially in one of the boozers. Mrs still has family up there and they love the place.

 

Anyhow making me grin today was some last minute stupid-time-to-end alloy wheels on the bay of e. Just had a cracking little road trip into N.Wales (near Ruthin) then up/down the Horshoe Pass, through Llangollen, onto the A483/A5, past the Oswestry Truck Show (sod paying £17.00 for my daughter and I to get in) and went to Ellesmere for a wlak round the lake and ome rather angry big ducks who didn't like our dog. From there it was up to Whitchurch vaguely passing (but sadly not calling into) Furgers UBER scrapyard, then down the A41 back into Chester. Only spots were two old camper vans in different places which I'll upload later.

I was grining yesterday when the delivery man turned up with my new Samba that I'd only seen in pictures. I was grining ear to ear when I saw how clean it was. And by clean I mean tidy paint, straight and lack of rust. Best Samba (of 6) by far!

Blacon is ace.. But.... The Lache in Chester is far, far, better. When I lived there, a guy decided to remove himself in a Darwinist moment by wiring his house up to a streetlamp...... Grand Prix was on aswell. Selfish cunt.

It is the 1980s in my house tonight.. Ultravox next.. Then Waterfront =)

Whats making me grin is West Ham are back in the Prem, and I'm off to Brands Hatch to see the DTM at Brands in an hour. Yay!

On the taxi ride home from a wedding in the early hours of this morning this subject turned to classic cars...The couple in the taxi with me own a 1965 split screen camper van and he commented on it when we got to their house.

 

I said that I'd quite like a Citroen CX myself and the taxi driver commented: "There was one on eBay a few weeks ago - a brown estate in the North Walsham area (Norfolk). I realised that he was talking about Wuvvum's old bus.

 

We talked about classics a bit more. He said that he once owned a Ford Granada 3.0 S. I should have given him this website address.

 

The taxi in question was a Pug 406 that rode beautifully and had 341,000 miles.

[AnthonyG]

Hired a Mk1 Cortina 1500 from this place: http://www.classiccarhirekent.org.uk/co ... -hire.html

and had a fun day pottering around rural Kent in it.

 

Will sort out some pics and a thread soon.
