Nearly took the front off a Merc convertible this afternoon that the elderly driver, with the top down and wind in his long hair propped out from the side street so he could see what was approaching.

Fucking garage has one entire lane (of two) dedicated to 'Pay at Pumps' which is fine by me as if I go in the shop, I spend money. But today, every single 'Pay at Pump' pump was o...

I was a bit bored yesterday so browsing eBay, I found an IT490... I was sorely tempted. Then I remembered that I would never be able to kick the sod over, so not a lot of use really.

My sincere thanks Hooli old chap. I am now... informed.
