2 more next year, lots of flex in the 5 a year limit!

 

Bureaucracy at its most insane. They are just begging for people to flytip. 

[beko1987]

I did half expect him to say I couldn't dump it at all! Then it would have been left at the bottom of the garden forever more!

 

Readers digest? Surely everyone knows where everyone on as lives as someone's bought a car from everyone...

Bloody hell that's a big butt plug is it Katy price's?

Bought a fuel tank for the Starion today, it's absolutely spotless and like new, off a 30k mile car. It was expensive though.

Also, a range of Argos Catalogues from the early 70s to the 90s - http://retromash.com/argos/

 

Including this - because in 1979, it was all the rage to mow your lawn in a ballgown.

I met Mat-the-cat today, and ran with him in a 10k race (well, for a couple of minutes then he disappeared as he is much faster than me).

 

Unfortunately this involved outing myself as a Facebook-stalker in the doorway of some public toilets and then me introducing myself to his missus as someone he'd met on "a dodgy website".

 

 

Sorry Mat-the-cat, I do not excel at social etiquette. 

 

Big Sorry.

 

No need for apologies, I was just slightly surprised to be greeted by name, by an apparent complete stranger just as I was about to enter the Gents. Good to meet you anyway, and you're not a bit like your avatar...

Those of you who know Balvenie will know what that is in the top shelf.

I've never seen that much of it in one place!

There's one less bottle there now.

Would have had two if I thought I could get though customs.

They had that for £15 in Asda a while back so I took advantage and bought a bottle.

Only to discover once home that I had paid £30 for it.  Someone put it on the wrong shelf   Wasn't half price at all.

[HillmanImp]

I would think Tayne paid about ten times more than that for it.

[beko1987]

Went shopping earlier and Amy sat in the back of the zx as the car seat is in the front, and on the way back said she thinks older cars have much comfier seats than modern cars (been in her mates c2 something a bit recently)

 

No probs love, next car will be even older if you want?

[HillmanImp]

Personally, scotch wise I think a really expensive bottle would be wasted on me as I can polish it off too easily. I would enjoy the first LARGE glass and then just wolf down the rest.

 

I generally just drink Jura origin these days or maybe Superstition if it is cheaper in that particular shop on that day. I have tried a couple of slightly more expensive ones but was not overwhelmed and am happy with either of the cheaper Juras.

 

The downside with Jura Superstition is that when I am drinking it I am constantly singing Stevie Wonder in my head:

 

Jura Superstition, writing's on the wall 
Jura Superstition, ladders bout' to fall 
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass 
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past 

When you believe in things that you don't understand 
Then you suffer 
Superstition ain't the way 

Jura Superstition, wash your face and hands 
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can 
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong 
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand 
Then you suffer 
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh 

Jura Superstition, nothin' more to say 
Jura Superstition, the devil's on his way 
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass 
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past 

When you believe in things that you don't understand 
Then you suffer 
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

I've never seen a fuel tank that hasn't had seized bolts, every bolt is rust free, and those metal pipes still have paint on them, this is like the Holy Grail in the Starion world.

 

 

These are always black with sludge, and those metal flexible clips spot welded onto the tank usually break off when you touch them:

 

 

 

The walls inside are pure metal, if you could see my old tank and then this one. Ahhhhh:

 

 

I've covered the top with that clear waxoyl stuff and will put it in tonight! Sorry for boring post.

Today this has made me grin. It'll probably annoy/frustrate/baffle some of you though.

Picked up a copy of classic and sportscar this morning and found a picture of my Hotchkiss taken at a show last month. Some good free advertising as well, as they mentioned my garage in the write up.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I saw that too!!! Nice work Panhard

My apprentice of four years has now come out of his time.... What a smashing lad. Four years without a day off sick, never turned up late and attended college with an unblemished record! Grins all round!. Take heed Daily Mail, he is of Iraqi origin. OMG immigrant parents etc. Well done Ben! You did us all proud mate!
