I beat John Cleland at TOCA touring cars when i was about 8 at our local Gameplay store, where's my scholarship!

Congratulations, now the fun begins!

2018 started off badly, little one was poorly, in hospital for an emergency operation but recovered and is fine now, the sight of seeing him flop unconscious when the put the mask on him will stay with me for a long time though :( Work was as it's been for the last few years, then a job came up I've...

I've been looking at getting an I Pace and the insurance for that is 30 quid a year more than my Peugeot 308! 298 quid!

And cheaper than my S60 T5! All 2 grand of it!

LOTS of good stuff guys ta very much :) I'm aware it's going to be a bit hard sleep wise, but having a 2 year old means 4 hours sleep at any time of the day is a bonus right now so I'll probably get more rest than I already do! I believe flights over a certain distance are business and short haul is...

Ah the plug is a good shout, I assumed all hotels had USB plugs nowadays!

I have a Galaxy S8 with a 256gb memory card so will hopefully be ok for media stuff.

I'm hoping to start soon and get on the road!

Longest. Month. EVER!

Thanks for all the helpful stuff guys. I know there is a lot more to travelling than suitcases and headphones, but those are the things that seem to make the travelling easier, I don't want a bag that falls apart and I can be in my own world with decent headphones on report writing, and everyone els...

I'll be travelling with different airlines due to the places I'll be visiting I imagine, last week they went from here to Dallas on Sunday, from Dallas to Dubai midweek then back home Friday.

Thanks for all the recommendations will go suitcase shopping this weekend I think!

I currently travel 24 miles a day, it will be a lot to me! I want to travel as light as possible, I need a laptop, phone, couple of shirts I guess, the Tripp cases are on sale in Debenhams at the minute as well so I'll go have a look. I'll have a look at getting an Amex and will go try those headpho...

Good Evening frequent flyers :) So I have finally got the job I've always wanted, however, with big job, come big responsibility, and lots of travelling. LOTS of travelling. I will be away for about 17 weeks a year, and will be literally everywhere, i know this is probably quite normal for some of y...

I managed 2 laps of a car on the way to Cornwall at 2 am before it moved from lane 2 of 4, where it was sat on its own for at least 10 miles without any other traffic around

I was bored and the wife was asleep, at least they provided entertainment!

-2 and slight snow this morning here on Rombalds Moor, I'll have to find my coat as it's getting a bit chilly now!

Tenner says a spring has popped out of the clutch plate.

Stop living the dream and buy something sensible FFS !

You can have my 2012 308 VTI 1.6 for 4k, 38000 miles Should be good for a few more years without big bills, has 4 Nokian Winters on it, recent brakes, and has had oil changed every 6k since my dad has had it, all done by me. He's got a 3008 now which is why this has come to me. Has bluetooth with st...

Yeah seems a bit odd, left private messages and texted

Haha, he won't say what he wants for it which as it's a for sale ad makes me question him a bit!

Hopefully buying a Xantia Activa if they don't want silly money for a car which hasn't been MOT'D for nearly 5 years.

Seems sound in pictures but we all know how misleading they can be......

I've had Michelin Crossclimate + On my S60 for the last 2 years now and they are a decent all season tyre Tim. Even in the last big lot of snow I didn't get stuck and I live on Rombalds Moor! My Peugeot 308 on Nokian Winters didn't cope as well but I think that's more the car than the tyres Probably...

Lovely cars to drive and be in, but having been around them for the last 15 years, would I buy one? Absolutely, if it was a 3rd car and I had 2 reliable cars to fall back on .
