I feel pub time coming - OLI!!!!

[On topic]10-4. Good plan. Seems that what Neil said to me is right, "When I buy that pub Oli, would you work the bar, you look like you spend a lot of time in pubs."[/On topic]

Plenty of beer and jd at hone Oli if you want to pop over,

This thread will now resume normal off topicness, thank your patience.

I was followed home by a rather lovely FD RX-7, I still can't decide whether that or the Toyota 2000GT is the most beautiful car ever made. I can only assume it didn't shoot of past the mighty Ka due to the swimming pool we were driving through at the time. Not the incredibly intimidating road presence the little Euro bubble has. It's an angry car stuck in a deformed kittens body.
In chav this sentence would have read; m8 I killed an rx7 in ma ford ka m8!!! sick!!!! killed it dwn dul carijway innit.

Oh yeah, the noise when it did eventually go past has fully cemented my love of rotary engines.
I obviously like things that break often.

746cc of daf engine, around 1200kg of train weight with the trailer, and Crickley Hill on the A417.

That's a full throttle, 18 mile per hour, combination

Just completed Gladys' alternator conversion and will drive her for the last time tomorrow morning. It truly is the end of a very happy era

Bye bye Gladys the Green DAF 44 I will miss you a lot

Why do I have a car that cost nothing to keep sat in my yard doing nothing, maybe I should get a ticket on it and enjoy a year of free motoring (except fuel costs)

Can't help but wonder if anyone's ever put an 'actual' parcel, on their parcel shelf... Damned sure I've not.

Now the vectra is dead it time to search for a new, yes new car, thats new as in not old and has lots of wire and plastic shields under the bonnet.

I had trouble getting some screws to go into the rawlplugs for a shelf i was putting up in the kitchen, so i used some olive oil on the threads and they went in very well. When i was faced with the same situation in the garage i used some old brake fluid with the same result.

I my new (to me) 90-300 lens - best £50 I spent all year

Was one of the reasons I bought the place

The A380 was taken at just over 3000 feet as it was in a transfer loop heading towards Heathrow. 'tis all in the lens

Ahhhh, cute little Fokker...ahem.

*Still on topic*
3000 feet away, if you want a close up look at passing planes come and visit us,planes fly within a few hundred feet of our living room window due to our house being high on a hill next to the approch path into Southampton Airport.
