You’re not allowed to love more than one… which is rather conflicting.

E30 was (is) such an icon. Road car, but more so grpA touring car / rally car. Frank Sytner worrying the Cossies. Which I loved more, but also cackled as the M3’s climbed over them in the twisty ...

I’d love a proper sized greenhouse. I carry a Thermacell for mosquitos here, absolutely hate having to apply anything to my skin so works well for that. Don’t know anything about midgets though.


I don't know much about midgets either, but the machine above does mozzies & midg ie s - I think it ...

Smidge is even better than skin-so-soft.

But the machines remove the issue.....

Not mozzies, but I suspect you’d get a fair number of midgies.

We have one of these machines though - they are highly effective (although Mrs mik goes nuts when I pull the trap out and show her that it’s teeming with the tiny bitey bastards ).

Nice. With all those big pines, also budget for one of these though.....

Overall fuel economy so far is 39.7mpg.

So around twice as fuel efficient as a 2009 VXR8 weighing 1820kg and pushing approx 440bhp. Pffft - and they call that progress.

Also found interesting: and unfortunately very true

I’ve bunged you a litre of fuel too - please use it wisely

@Ascender just got a response back from miklet > he's holding off for a big upgrade/update next year (ish) so will pass sir.

This is my current favourite, not even a hotwheels. I’d like a couple more so I can paint one the same colour as my car…

Have you lowered it yet?

My work is done

Cheers Mike - have sent him the list in case he is interested (realising you may not break it up)

@DeskJockey - forgot to thank you - useful info. Considering.

@Ascender no idea what the answer to your question is, buuuut if you do consider splitting please let me know your specs - my youngest may be interested in bits if they are an upgrade to his (increasingly ageing) system.....

This just came up on my instagram feed. At the time of typing it’s got just 135 likes, and it’s not an account I follow, so the algorithms are watching me…..

Comments are already quite amusing though

It’s a matter of critical importance. I suggest you dedicate an hour (minimum) to this topic this evening. And let us know please.

Shirley that doesn’t save them a few moments? They need to spin it back round to “handles oot” so they can then drag it to the truck?
