grizz Posted June 20 Author Posted June 20 Washed the Astro van yesterday. Drove out to the Six Bells Pub for a £5.00 burger and a mooch around. Burger is always good It was hot, probably around 26’C in the shade. Usual suspects out there and a few vehicles I had not seen before. My favourite, despite some expensive cars, was an imported, totally original Toyota Land Cruiser. I was thinking while washing the Astro that the time has come for the next vehicle….. a 70-80’s station wagon or Longroof. Then driving it to the car show I realised once again, how much I enjoy this car. Have a bunch of photos.

grizz Posted June 21 Author Posted June 21 Neighbors rear hedge had not been cut down in 5-6 years since I used to cut it on the outside. Cutting hedges hard in mid summer is hard work. 666jjp and Westbay 2

You have seen the flaws I have corrected so far. I really enjoy polishing turds. Go back to “Not a Project “ the Blazer. Perfect case in point. Westbay 1

GlenAnderson Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Best of luck. In my personal experience, horsey women are fucking nuts. But at least you always know where you stand…. …If they’ve got one horse, you’ll be in second place. Two horses you’ll be in third. If they’ve got dogs or cats, you’ll be behind them too.
