I took mine to a gold dealer in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham. For something small like that, I'd far rather sell it in person. Bound to be similar places in Hatton Garden. I sold my first one in a cash for gold place on the high street. My last one was titanium so had no resale value. I was ...

I guess he won't get into trouble for offloading Ferraris now he's an Aston Martin driver.

When my thyroid was bad, ties or anything around the neck were uncomfortable.

I had one contract where I turned up in a suit and an open top button and was told that I needed to be wearing a tie. I've not worn a tie outside of hatchings, matchings or despatchings since.

Anyway, it looks like the issue might be that the wiper arm is the passenger side one rather than the drivers side one. :roll: It's not. The mechanism has failed and rather conveniently, it's a bastard to get to so I'll get a garage to do it and check the front left suspension as the tyre is jumpin...

The 9-5 had 3 heated jets on the bonnet that worked brilliantly.

Today's minor irritation with the Jag is the wipers. After the frost the other week the wiper stopped wiping a patch in front of the steering wheel. The blades were a bit shagged so I replaced them but the issue persisted. I assumed the hinge was knackered so sprayed it with wd40 and gave it a wiggl...

Remember the F-duct in F1? It was first seen on the MP4-25 in 2010.By covering a hole in the cockpit it stalled the rear wing and increased top speed and was the thing that brought in the DRS system. Last night I discovered that it got it's name from the inlet duct on the McLaren's location in the &...

It's a car. Beyond that I have no clue.

Gloucester is clear and sunny and a refreshing 10 degrees.

I've a perfect spot for an A3 colour Alfa 155 BTCC car.

Perhaps not a perfect car, but at least a car that generates a lot of emotion.
Never driven one, but reportedly rather flawed.

Sums up my experience of Alfa Romeo. Remarkably it's been 11 years since I had an Alfa.

And no - there isn’t a suitable frame in the garage.

Nice. What size is it?

Metal valve caps are horrible. Essential to smear grease on the threads to avoid that crap. Jimmy - mole grips are your friend. You’ll probably need a standard cap to go on afterwards though.... A set of mole grips and some replacement caps arrived today. With the assistance of a reluctant 8year ol...

It looks really good in black, though.

Strategic quoting amuses me.

I just had to google what a Scala is.

Today's minor annoyance is the stupid dust caps on the jag wheels. The previous owner was a fat bloke and obviously couldn't bend down to check his tyre pressures so he bought some horrible indicator ones that show you when the pressure is low. It's like a shit version of tyre pressue sensors. As th...

No, they're charging £65 to tell the owner to pick up their dildo.

Rest in Peace, Flash.

That's a relief.

Yup. Unfortunately the results came back five hours too late to attend the funeral in person. Felt very weird watching a live stream of it.

Aw dammit. Sorry.
