Rangie

Had a ride out to Burghley House with wifey & the youngest Grandson, took the RRS the more I drive it l realise what a bargain I got for £7,000 five years ago power & comfort great combination 👍
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

Took the Boxster for MOT. Initially failed on a sidelight not working. Changed the bulb but it made no difference.
Found that the connector into the rear of the headlight wasnt seating properly, so remedied that and got a years ticket.  :)
Its weird being the same age as old people !

Raeturbo

Took the Jag out for a nice airing yesterday, its  performing perfectly and has done for at least six months 😱😱 here's hoping I haven't jinxed it now😳

Took the Proper car out for a walk to knock some of cobwebs off it. Being plugged in seems to be keeping on top of the batteries. Which is nice.
Onanists always think outside the box.

No doubt🤣 but to cheer you up I need an Ecu  from an evo 5 or 6 now so as I can remap as my 2008 moates ostrich emulator is getting corrupt every now and again. Needless to say it's going to be a tasty financial feast🙁🙁

Put two rear brake cylinders on the wife's puddle jumping Micra.
Wrong Switch Tony......flicking the wrong bit for 50 years

Replaced the filter in the EGR on hers.

Investigated the oil misting from the dipstick tube on hers - turns out it was actually a pipe from the (other) EGR to intake wasn't sealing, and blowing a little sooty oil.  Looks like last time I removed that I must have dislodged the o-ring on refitting, so schoolboy error on my part.

Investigated the regular "Bonnet Open" errors on hers - cleaned out all the old sticky grease from the latch that side so the switch lever was not getting stuck.


On mine, gave it it's first run since fitting the NSF suspension sensor bought from a real dealer at great expense - £170 - because the ebay shite was, well, shite.  Trip to Suffolk and back presented only one error. Low fuel.  Which was very, very factually correct ;D

Washed my highly desirable, and extremely valuable classic Vauxhall, with a bucket of cold water and a sponge.

If the weather is warm and sunny come 29th July 2025 I shall do the same again. :)

All of us only have 'this moment in time' :)

None of us can guarantee we will see another day.

I wonder how many people drive to work each day without a care in the world but never return.

About 1500 people a day die in the UK, and about 76% of the population are in work, so quite a few.  :-\

You're lucky you survived the exertions of washing your classic car today!  :)

What a shitty way to treat a desirable 'modern classic'. Your words, no one else's.  :)

Tis true. :D

I bet even the illegals that STMO pays have less grit in their sponge. ::)
