And they all sit in traffic with their foot on the brake pedal…

A favourite of mine is people parking facing oncoming traffic with their headlights on. Tonight it was an Amazon van on an otherwise unlit country lane. Doubly enjoyable in the MR2, which is eye level to a Transit’s headlights.

You’re in good shape. Many’s the time I’ve still had a five-page feature to write at this stage. (Not recommended…).

Did they get back to you on the car or did you have to chase?

If you’re in a position for Charlotte to start PDFing tomorrow, Thursday will be a doddle.

‘One off, no MoT, rear is full of music.’

This advert needs a much longer description and more than one photo.

No worries! Thought I was quite late to the replies.

Itching to snowfoam this when I get home.

I have this. The offensive wheel trims might put you off as a photographic subject (I hate them) and the MoT runs out on the 30th so probably best before that in case it fails. It’s in Grantham.

Society lost something when carparks starting asking for your car registration. Yes it was technically fraud, but passing on your non expired ticket to a grateful stranger as you left the car park was one of life's simple joys.

Late registration for that Cavalier. The earliest Vectras were N-reg.

When I built my Sylva Riot I put the indicator switch in the right because that’s where it should be on a right-hand-drive car.

Too early to be thinking about Christmas really but I like the baubles in Lakeside.

Really good, wasn’t it? I was surprised it was a recent conversion, I’d have assumed it had been done in period.

It’s OK, there’s a billboard on Hesketh Street.

Nah. You need a manual as your first car. I spent the night before picking mine up learning to heel and toe in the Ka while I still had three pedals.

There was one of those driving around Parking Bleu once. Not sure if that was a year you were there, so you might already know that.

I can’t believe how many things are now in a new place. Thanks for all the help!

That is a great cover, btw.

Slow down! I haven’t bought Issue 2 yet. Local TGJ (RIP WHS) didn’t have it, yet they had the first one.
