been up to car wash this morning to give the old gal a rinse down. Whilst there a chap from across the road wandered over and asked me if I wanted to buy his 2001 P38 Bordeaux 2.5 diesel. or if I knew of anyone who did. I have seen it around for...
Took him for a nice waft to an excellent garden centre lunch, then home via a local pub petrol head show, except the showers had scared almost everyone away by then.

Greetings Gang, Well, I have been off the grid for the past 2 years due to the unpleasantness that kicked off here in Crimea. So put the black beast onto the axel stands and exited stage left to sunnier climbs for a while. Any how I'm back now...

Dehumidifier out, trickle off, tools and tarp in the back. 50 mile comfortable waft to the garden centre for lunch, then back via the BILs (to dig out two saplings) and the fuel station.
