I was rather unimpressed with the number of potholes on the M40 yesterday. Local authority maintained roads I sort of understand the maintenance issues but Highways Agency? That’s just evidence of how badly run the country is currently.

It’s not far from here, I’ve not seen the Delta parked there before but the resident is an obvious Italian car perv, that’s a Fiat Coupe peeking in on the right, and choosing matching yellow for whatever the thing is on the left is a strong move. He probably remembers whose bum the headlight covers...

She was out so I took the opportunity. I did show her the photo when she got back. She looked amused and exasperated

Finally got all my mowers together.



The favourite is the second from the left, the one which should be wonderful but I don’t like is next to the Al-ko.

Plenty of people actively want Boris to come back, not just as an MP but as PM. So yes, it seems a large number do want an MP and Prime Minister who lies to them.

Obvs the F1, though I would also spec and have built a Singer - or Tuthill or similar - 911. That wouldn’t be within 2 days so rules it out anyway.

Cheers for this

Enjoyed that, I’d still have the F1 if I could only have 1

Same - I thought the F1's engine sounded nicer too.

Yeah, hundreds of millions of pounds spent, no one sent, countless lost legal cases and the best they've had is a "rumour" that some illegals aren't crossing into NI because the threat of going to Rwanda. Thats the best lie the Tory's could come up with. It's not been a policy that has wo...

I wouldn't vote Lib Dem now because they had their chance, fucked it up and aren't in any way a party capable of running the country. It was nearly a decade ago, at some point people are going to need to move past it. OK, they've had nearly 10 years but they have not moved things forwards one iota ...

Vote Lib Dem. If it’s enough to stop either of the others getting a majority it’ll be a good thing. We all know what we’ll get from Labour. Years of everything still being shit but “it’s not our fault the conservatives did it”. Then the money hose gets turned on and everything is brilliant…. until ...

I did consider a GR86 - Jon offered me his allocation from the second batch - but I just didn’t want one as much. Not open-topped, it’s a bit of a one-trick pony to me: lovely to drive but that’s it. I’d rather have a GR Yaris I think. Just adding - the spec of that one in the video is pretty much w...

Soggy.

I'm hopeful - if summer wasn't just last Saturday and Sunday

I saw yesterday afternoon that they were going into administration. Not much chance anyone would rescue the business, I'd guess. My stepson worked for CarStore which was part of Evans Halshaw (Pendragon). Pendragon was taken over by a US company and they decided to show down CarStore's operations; I...

Probably end of June/beginning of July. I've got quite a bit on during the next month so delivery timescale is as much dependent on my diary

8-) Nice. I can understand where you're coming from with all your logic with the Emira, but I don't see why the special-ness of it would wane? I don't think it would for me. I've seen quite a few now, and consistently gives me a feeling I've seen something a bit special (something for Porsches only...

Thanks Mik. I do want all teh carz though, so it's not going to stop me looking at 911s. I think a 992 would be a really nice further addition in a couple of years' time, probably prompted by them going hybrid or similar.

I do tend to unbuckle when we are on the ground taxiing, but I keep it done up all flight. Just slackened off a bit while eating or sleeping.

Did you have a test drive? I don’t think the 184 “needs” any more power really and the engine really suits the car. It’s my favourite out of the five I’ve owned including the supercharged nc. I test drove a 2019 ND2 last year - liked the car, did not like the spec of the one I drove (cloth seats, M...
