hot humid weather and lots of dust. A lovely combination.  ;D
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Had Pierre running today and he sounded okayish.
Will order a new cambelt, as the old one is a bit frayed and cracked after its fight with the aux. belt. Then put everything together properly and look forward to days, possible weeks of trouble free motoring.  :)

Considering he's such a piece of shit (according to you) he's still going, despite your best efforts to kill him.  ;D

It's more likely to be minutes and hours of trouble free motoring rather than days and weeks. 8) ::)

You should take advantage of the VERY RARE OPERTUNITY
sell CL-Eeyore  while it's actually running and drivable  :y
then you can have plenty of trouble free motoring  :)

Good idea, apart from the fact I would have to replace it with something else which is an unknown quantity.

Took the Big Black Pussy for a gentle cruise up the motorway after work...   ...and bumped into that DTM geezer.  As it was raining, we went for a cruise in Mrs DTM's milk float. Handles quite well for something that weighs more than a lorry ;D

Raining? It was full on scorchio daan saaf. And our team afternoon out hit on both a restaurant and a bowling alley with seemingly no air con.  :o

Was glad of the air con in the little blue pussy on the way home.

Yeah, nothing was forecast, but it was proper miserable by about 7pm.  On the upside, it had taken about 6C off the outside temp...

Actually, no I think about it, last time I met up with Marks DTM, it was phishing it down.  Clearly he has his own personal rain cloud ;D

Updated the firmware on a little toy from Marks DTM, which was quite frought as it kept failing...   ...and then decided to go all non responsive.  Fortunately, got there in the end.

Also put on a new washer bottle cap on Mrs TB's new steed, as it was missing.

Oil and filters for it turned up today, so that will get done at the weekend.
