I'd wager that if some retro bank robbers nicked Mick's Grannie off the drive on the one night he'd left it out and robbed a bank somewhere in Lincolnsausageshire, they'd be away up the A1 while Electro-plod were waiting for their milkfloat to charge and the one out on patrol would die before they reached the South Yorks border.

May Volvo rip as they've gone full Milk-float.

.......that will never go faster than 112 MPH.

The nanny state is alive and well.

Can't see the Plod spec cars being limited...  Apart from the battery range that is.... 

FTFY Al!

This one is midnight blue with tan leather, I'm going to keep the colour the same but although the seats look in good nick I know of someone local who can refurb them completely, I'm going to keep them the same colour but will have the leather in the "diamond quilted" pattern that can be seen on most Bentleys.

Keep them original, Mick.

^This!^

Adjusting Stonehenge for British Summer Time takes a bit more effort!

Do like our V70 D4, it's a car that your never in a rush when you drive it. Pushing it on isn't on the agenda because there's no feedback just a wallowy feeling!

I like my V70 D5. 

It has a bit of grunt if I give it a bit of welly and the straight 5 has a nice growl, but compared to the BMW 530d it replaced, it's like driving a narrow boat!

Speaking of hot cross buns at Easter......if you like your buns nicely browned here is some you might like taking a bite of.

Blimey I got a semi watching that!

This morning, my wife was in the kitchen preparing to boil eggs for breakfast.

As I walked in, she turned to me and said, "You've got to make love to me this very moment!" My eyes lit up and I thought, "This is my lucky day!"
Not wanting to lose the moment, I didn't waste any time at all, I gave her a banging right on the kitchen table!

Afterward, she said, "Thanks." and returned to the stove.

More than a little puzzled, I asked, "What was that all about?"

She giggled, "The egg timer's broken."

Or shaking hands when you get out

Now now, we don't want poor old Rog to have heart attack or anything!

Have you thought about getting something fun, like a little hot hatch or something Rog?

Y'know something that puts a smile on your face when you get in it?

Hmmm maybe I should have saved that one for Easter Sunday? 

This one's probably more appropriate for Good Friday!

If I have fibre installed, they'll have to dig under my garden wall, through a flower bed, dig a trench across the drive and through another flower bed to the house. 

Had they put the connection point a meter up the pavement they could have gone through the gateway avoiding the wall and flower bed. 

Frickin jackasses!

It was a company called Jurassic Fibre (no me neither) that installed ours, and I've only seen one house on our road get connected so far.

I don't think that they could have put the connection point in the pavement by my house in a worse place if they tried.  Same with the neighbours as well.

My Renault 5 did 60 in second, and had a fabulous tilt when going round a corner or roundabout at speed!
