OV9

First trip to the vets on Friday for his first jab.

Took it in his stride, maybe just a little bit more dozy than normal that evening.

Saturday we went to the barn, approx 50 mins away, a little bit of noise about ten mins before we arrived, but nothing horrible. Seemed to love exploring and is ...

Yes, very cool to see Vettel screaming around monza in a Ferrari.

Race was exciting, but still feels like the cars are running over the boost arrows on the track like Mario kart rather than absolute skill.

Other than Antonelli who surely has to take the title this year unless Merc totally collapse ...

Well that’s a nice obvious one

I was wondering if there’s a clever Italian 3 letter word that would work and is available.

I can’t actually remember what the mito oil cap says

The plastic topmounts are pretty crappy, but cheap and easy enough to change with some spring compressors. One of those parts that’s shared with the corsa and punto.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s an upgrade unless you spend a load on solid alloy ones which wouldn’t be worth it unless you’re ...

I saw a car with an OL10 *** reg, which as my ‘sud has an OLIO cap for the engine oil, and the Mito has the dials in Italian, I now quite fancy an OL10 reg for the Mito 😅

No idea what three letters to get, plenty of choice for £250 on the dvla site. Yes I know there’s probably more sensible things ...

Hubnut has been.....very brave

Bear in mind they're very much an amateur spanner monkey with out serious sponsorship or a four bay garage with lifts, and they can't weld :shock:


He is moving into a section of a unit shared with a friend who does ...

Hopefully you won’t be too out of pocket considering insurance payouts tend to be somewhat short of retail price, but with some luck not too far out from your trade in valuation.

Still a very shitty thing to happen, and I hope with time justice is done and everyone can start to relax at night again.

While I think it’s crazy to expect a ten year old car with maybe 150,000 miles on it to meet exactly the same emission standards as it did when brand new, I also think lots of people are taking the piss.

Buying cars which in theory have low emissions and sit in a low tax band, to then gut the dpf ...

The council actually came past and cleared the drains in the road outside our house the other day, I was amazed, don’t think I’ve ever seen them do them here before!

Only 9 weeks so still very small. Noticing changes already!

I would happily have had any old rescue moggy, but the mrs wanted a little one as it’s been 30 odd years since she last had a kitten. We’d like to get it used to travelling while young so we can take it when we go to the barn for the ...

We managed to last a full week without one. Incredible how empty the house felt without one!

So this is Sunny. Not my choice of name, ( which would have been Dave, Gary, Kevin or similar ) but I allowed it on the condition he would have my surname. So it’s Sunny Crockett, in honour of Sonny ...

Tried and failed as far as I know.

There are physical issues meaning substantial reworking of the body would be needed to pass an iva test. Then there’s the electronic side. I think they said the whole electronic system is integrate meaning you can’t easily do something like add orange uk spec ...

I like Jimmy Carr, but knowing a bit about cars and having some nice cars doesn’t mean you’re going to be good on a tv program about cars.

Chris Evans was the perfect example of that.

I have a fairly decently TikTok following and have had a couple of videos flagged for being against community guidelines despite being perfectly safe and innocent.

Maybe they pay closer attention to bigger accounts as I have seen some dodgy stuff but sometimes despite lots of views on the one or ...

Exactly my thoughts while watching a section in the news about her last night.

And he’s both older and still alive. It seems a lot of the time life really isn’t fair.

How long are Ferrari going to keep spoiling Lewis’s race to keep their golden boy in front?

He was a bit dozy and off his food Sunday, then we found a pigeon in the garden that had been hollowed out.

It wasn’t unusual for him to either scrap or hunt / scavenge and be a bit off for a couple of days so didn’t think much of it. Didn’t seem to be hurting, grumpy, or anything, just very sleepy ...

It has really floored me. We’ve lost several cats over the years, and while all sad, none have been like this.

These are just a few clips going back a couple of years, as you can imagine there are many many more.

He was in a segregated special behaviour room at the rescue centre, we’d gone to ...

Also a replacement black plastic wing mirror on an ambulance (Fiat van) is apparently £12,000. Whoever looks after the NHS fleet must be a billionaire :lol:


My mrs’ cousin is an ambulance technician and says it’s basically a license to print money.

Tbh, all businesses are like it. A Hella ...

I’d love a corrado, would be happy with a 16v to be honest, none of them are fast and I’m not worried about that these days anyway.

I’ve always liked them, but think they aged quite quickly initially when everything else was a round blob, but now they look surprisingly crisp and modern.
