Swapped the little shitbox for the day, for something with 650cc, two wheels and significantly quicker ;D

Did I fix that right?  ???  :)

Looks like a lot of fun.

Mrs TB had some choice swearwords during some of my antics  ;D

But I did go slow when she was flying the drone around it...

I learnt something during my week away.  I'd assumed that the Mercedes drivers universally being cocks was a UK thing, but it does appear to be global.

Present company (possibly!) excluded, of course ;D

Talking of cocks, an x351 Jag XJL owner pulled into Sainsburys carpark yesterday, and put it right in the middle of 2 spaces. 

Now, owning the SWB version, I know they are big cars for small parking spaces, but, I mean, REALLY?  It wasn't an old duffer either.

One of my many intrusive thoughts is to buy an original smart car  or similar just so I can park it in the 3/4 of a space some drivers insist on leaving next to their car.   >:D

Fitted with a Hayabusa engine - obviously.
