Didn't actually have much choice this time as they only had F-Pace available from stock so its an F-Pace R-Sport Black edition (plus more options) in Coral grey with a wanking skeleton under the bonnet
Nice enough car for a few months ;)

They had black available to but, I suggested a que might form next to it every time I pulled into a car park
Wrap up parcels of sugar, make a fortune ;)

Its a modern cancer on society, which I think is very sad  :'(
And I think its more than just travelling. It HAS bred a society of incapable, risk adverse, useless, self centred arsesoles. And many of them have various allergies which is now being suggested to be caused by being brought up in sterile environments.  I can't remember the last time I got on a plane, and not been greeted with the warning that there was somebody with some allergy, so no consumption of <xyz> etc.

This one grips my sh!t somewhat... There are people with genuine allergies who could easily die as a consequence of someone else being selfish, as you well know. But there are a lot of people who claim allergies because it gives them “tummy ache” or, worse still, they just don’t like something. These people generate the attitude you have towards it and puts other people at risk >:(

Nope, nor the handbrake.  Was tight as a nun's kludge though.

Aye. Technically, I have a gay allergy to Tomatoes and peanuts (only with alcohol), but they aren't going to cause any more than minor pains and a bit of sickness.  So its not really an allergy, not in what I'd class a true sense.

Technically, I also have a million and one other allergies, the ones that give gout. Again, not real allergies, just minor reactions.


But the world is now full of the "look at me" type, watering down the view of allergic reactions in peoples mind, which can only make life harder for those that have real, non-gay allergies, that can/do lead to life threatening situations  >:(


But that all off topic.

Put a new radiator on the V70,that was fun ::) Autodata give a "book" time of 1.4hrs for this job it took me...……...7hrs :o The fasteners that were most awkward to get at were rusted up and seized solid[and I've been spraying them best I can with WD for the past 3 days]the ones that were easier to get at were rusted and seized and sheared off. Still it's in and done now,no air locks,no leaks so I'm happy if achy :D :y

Dropped off the Fiat Nondescript, and a few hours later got back in a very gutless Battlebus (still quicker than the Fiat though), covered in aviation fuel.

This morning, freed off turbo, and shoved it through a carwash

Picked mine up from the car park at Heathrow yesterday - it stayed cleaner down there than it does on my driveway.. blasted trees.

I abandoned mine under some trees, so I expect next time I go to look for it, it will be covered in sap and birdshit
