My very first car was an 'S' type! 3.4 manual with O/D in dark blue and... rust. A lot of rust. In fact it never got anywhere near a road in my ownership other than the drive home where it was found to go very well but displayed, odd, indeed terrifying tendencies to veer across the road at intervals...

Bollox to that! Bella does, however, like being outside helping. People comment on her stood by my side, looking on anxiously in case she misses some detail. I think it'll be HER that starts a valeting service!

Decided the exhaust tailpipes on both cars were rather letting the side down. But, a session with Solvol Autosol and a scourer from the kitchen, soon had them back to shiny and clean.






I am so very sad...

poo bags, 10 of.(each 150 bags).

Toilet rolls 40f (each a 4 multi).
Dog food 48 tins.
Jumbones 12 twin packs.
Nescafe Massive jars, 4 of (buy them every time they are on offer in the Co-op).

Obviously, not a bike (as I ain't got one... sob!) but I have a space under the kitchen counter full of bits for the cars, I even have a complete set of clocks for the SLK (it used to have a 'pink shrimp' but I cured it without the need for the new clocks) spare wipers for the Jag (odd size fucker) ...

They didn't charge me for checking the charge... er, that makes sense, right?

I had one of them fancy Granada estates, it was fucking lush!

10 Paracetamol day today. Sunshine for a change and it was hot outside so I took Bella out early(ish) and when we got home, I decided to polish the Merc as it's not been done in a year, well, not with Autoglym. I left the stereo on and the roof was down so Pink Floyd (no Oink!) blaring away. Natural...

Today oh dear and learned readers, I did a thing. I polished the Jag, with Autoglym no less. I managed to do all the car (apart from the roof) while sat on the floor though I did have to prop myself up to do the bonnet/boot. It was 6 Paracetamol job though and the pain is delightful right now. I the...
