Mum: Can you drive my car, it’s been making a noise for a couple of weeks.
The noise:…

Yes. I’ll have to stock up on Weetabix for the morning though.

Looks like removing these shocks on the MG is going to be an utter pain.
Access is fiddly.
Joy.

Wanting to get in the garage and change the shocks on the MG.
I was going to wait until April 1st to tax it but I may bring that forward if this dry spell carries on.

Not an older design from Glosters in Porthmadog, is it?

It’ll be a speed awareness course. 79mph.

I’ve been done for speeding…..in the SX4!
First time I’ve ever been done.
Buggeration.

I can do the best part of 600 miles on a tank when cruising down to Austria. I fill up in Tonbridge and then that lasts me until about 50 clicks north of Munich.

I’ve been past it many times. I know XH558 is at Doncaster Airport.
I think they have horsey stuff there.

I’m like a modern day Judith Chalmers.
You’re welcome.

There is something wonderful about an old hund.
We lost our Archie dog at the grand age of 16.5 and the older he got, the more stubborn he got, but more chilled. “I’ll do it on my terms, OK?”

How is it 20 years since Linda Smith passed away?!
Blimey.

I’ll miss seeing the old Jags they’d got on in shakedown runs, blatting through Worfield.

From what I can gather, the administrators went in a couple of weeks ago and yesterday they ceased trading.

In the last few days. Maybe even yesterday.
Such a shame. They always seemed busy.
I heard rumours way back when, that they stored some of the JDHT collection when it closed for a few years and CMC had just expanded.

Just seen that CMC in Bridgnorth have gone.
Been to a few open days there over the years and been up close with the Lindner Nocker E-Type that they rebuilt.
Very sad times ☹️

4 years since I first met Bill and the gang over in North Shields.
What a great bunch they are.

when you go to a website.
Enjoying it so far and would really recommend it as an alternative to the ‘big’ browsers.
No downsides that I can see, so far.
A refreshing change 👍

I’ve recently swapped over to DuckDuckGo for my web browser on my phone and computer, on the recommendation of @mrjalco.bsky.social.
Really easy to set up, all my bookmarks, passwords etc transferred over from Chrome with a couple of clicks.
I like how it shows you how may trackers are blocked…

Absolutely sick of seeing AI slop everywhere. Ugh.
When someone is trying to force it down your throat or see someone extolling its virtues, take a leaf out of Kirk’s book….

Unless this is Emerald Green with the living sh*t photoshopped out of it, they never did the 308 in this green.
It’s not BRG and JRG (it’s neither of those) didn’t appear until the 350/358.
This is the official Jag account.
DO BETTER!

What a Winter Games this has been.
I live and breathe winter sports and this has been the best games in many a year.
Gutted that it’s over but we’ve got the Paralympic Games to come in a couple of weeks.
👍 🇮🇹
