Like a shrivelled little walnut according to the Docs. Probably not worth much. ;D
Lungs had 25 years of smoking 30+ cigs per day, so probably wont be sought after either.   ::)


a good match for the clit then :-X

Have been for a long time, but just try to ignore it and live in denial.
As you often say - a bit of pain never hurt anyone.  :y ;D

Having said that, I am now getting into the habit of remembering to strap my knees up most days to make life a bit easier, so definitely getting old and soft.  ::)

This week I spent some spare time Under Mrs Builders Astra Estate , my rusty builder's van Omega and My old Mum's Astra G .
stripped the brakes etc ,greased the moving bits ,underbody/stone chip spray and supertrol (as they will be salting the roads soon with the impending ice age  :( )
dropped the astra estate in for MOT ,it passed with no advisories  :)

Today I dropped the Omega in for MOT ,that passed too  :)
2 advisories for Tyres ,which I knew are down to about 3mm ,just not decided what I'm buying yet
I might get a set of winter tyres  or get some "all season "  ones

If only there was a thread about such matters  :D

I'll drop My Mum's astra in for MOT next week , no rush as she don't use it anymore  ::)

Failed to fill up the Big Black Pussy again today. Not even close.

But it was on fumes.


Took it to north Londonium, in order to fix a myriad of fibre issues.  How can anyone make so many oppsups?

Had to nip to quacks earlier, to be stabbed with the flu.  Must have been some Merc convention all over Brakkers, as the place was full of them...   ...and none of them could actually drive, or dared squeeze into a 12' wide gap.

Fairplay to the Battlebus, I never knew it could show its disgust so well, and wheelspin that long whilst sooting up the air.

Made it to the quacks new, massive carpark to find, again, none of the Merc owners could park in single spaces, making that chaos.  Nip to Tesco afterwards, too forever to get across town, again because every merc owner couldnt get passed the 20' gap left by parked cars, or understand the concept of traffic lights.  Only to find Tesco full of Mercs incapable of parking in a single space.


WTF is going on? I know you have to be a bit soft in the head to buy a post 1980s MB, but surely a requirement is still to actually be able to drive?


(Looks like there was some event on at Shackeng's old school in town)

 :o
Surely you need slick front tyres and 2 barrels of butter to make the Zaf DTi to wheel spin  :D

as other drivers ,not just Mercs , the roads seem rammed at the moment and many "drivers" need to learn how to drive and park  >:(
and now it's gone cooler ,they will probably go even slower ,if that's possible  ::)

Drove the RRS over to Fakenham to collect a horsebox my mate has just bought , then to Sandringham to fetch the horse which is his  wife's Xmas present pretty windy conditions ,the weight of the horse certainly helped ! All safely in stables at Stamford now.

It was snowing at the time, but I was still impressed it had the power to break traction.

Such power :)
