Drained coolant again, lots more brown junk coming out the engine, just flushing the last traces of the cleaning agent out before proper 50/50 Vx redstuff goes in for wintertime.

Today was a warm and sunny November day here deepdown southwest. So i decided to prepare my Caravan for winter use. New Winter tyres, new oil + filter and new windshield wipers.

Last thing to do is adjustment of the xenons. I will do it over the next days and then the Caravan is ready to get a new licence. End of the week he should be back on the road again.

Best regards

Rolf

Try the Chiltern Slug next time. I'd rather drive around the M25 by Heathrow....

TB clearly doesn't do public transport

Why should I? Its dirty, slow, unreliable, and full of inconsiderate mongrels^*

I studied at school, and at after work college, so I could earn enough to afford my own car.

I think it's still playing by the trackside!

On the subject of handsfree, is it just me, or have you noticed just how loud some people have their handsfree car kits / Bluetooth head units? Quite often when your sitting in traffic you can hear the conversation in the car next to you!
Was crawling out of London on the Westway the other week listening to some chap in the car by my side trying to convince his wife / partner that he wasn't having an affair with the cleaner - both our windows were closed as well!

Surely having heated conversations like you describe are as big a distraction as using a held held device. Perhaps all phone use should be banned whilst driving.

I'll stick to the nice, quiet train from Northampton where I can get a seat in a quiet carriage and still make it to Islington by 9am thanks
