He should get one and put his black dog in it.
Tempted. Pretty sure we'd have some Good Times/Bad Times.

I'll probably just Ramble On instead though.

I like this car.

In fact, I think it's pretty Rock and Roll.

It's the colour of Led

It's shaped a bit like a Zeppelin

It looks great IV long trips too.

I bet you could take that Stairway all the way to Devon in it.

Re: Coronavirus

We’re packing up the office now - off to work from home... boo. We are officially not allowing WFH next week, despite it being entirely, and easily possible with the products we resell and the way our platform is set up. Because the CEO would rather we all (and our families and children) get Corona...

Re: Cheap diesel purchase

I absolutely hated the CLS when I first saw one. Then, I remember looking at one on a roundabout on the A46 one day and completely changing my opinion in one moment. Weird.

The shooting brake has never looked wrong. Great looking car.

You wouldn't have to. I'm guessing it's weed killer that was being sprayed.
Probably. I've been spraying glyphosate along paths etc this week whilst wearing the correct PPE (disposable suit/wellies/nitrile gloves). Got more than a few funny looks from behind twitching curtains :lol:

Re: Coronavirus

I wish my grandparents would stay the fuck in, they've been to the pub 3 times this week already, they won't listen to any of us about it either seemingly. My stepmother has a lung condition. She's had part of one lung removed due to it. Yesterday she went to the supermarket and the hairdressers......

Re: Coronavirus

My folks want me to go and visit at the weekend, as much as it sounds like I'm avoiding them I really dont feel like I should. Are others keeping away from their family, regardless? I'm keeping clear of everyone except for those family members I live with. Some I'll miss a bit, some not so much :lol:

Re: Coronavirus

Just dropped my daughter at the pub for her regular Sunday shift. It's normally heaving by midday but the car park was empty. Then went to the farm shop to get a leg of lamb and that was mobbed. People queuing up to buy takeaway burgers and coffee, served by sickly looking teenagers filled with mini...

Re: Coronavirus

Don’t know how true twitter is but reportedly half the deaths in France are under 50’s. In NL close to half the people in intensive care are also under 50. Many cases people with no underlying health conditions being killed by it now. Fuck trying to get 60% of the country infected. Can we temporari...

Re: Coronavirus

Its f*cking end-of-days, apocalyptic scenes at some of our local shops. They're going to have to put some sort of controls in place as its carnage and I really feel for aged, vulnerable and people who simply can't afford to shop in bulk or drive around trying to find essential supplies. It's very s...

Re: The positives of Corona

Everyone around here is being exceptionally polite to each other. Which is nice. In most parts this is still a great country to live in imo. Also, I really have to buy a first car for my daughter. Went to look at a very low mileage Saxo earlier today but it wasn't quite right and he was asking way t...

Re: REV’s B-I-L Boxing Day thread

Yay, RETURN OF THE CUNT.

I suggest that you book a cottage in the north of scotsland for a week, get everyone involved together so that you can all reconcile your differences once and for all.

It'd be great.

True story: Back in the last week of November, the mrs and I were in the V&A museum. We were checking a couple of coats into the cloakroom. Around the wall, at the side of the cloakroom there's a water fountain. I watched in hungover horror as a very sick looking late middle-aged chinese man in ...
