Not much has been happening lately, I have my eye on a Cortina estate so looking to offload a couple of things...
I'd hoped the Cortina would be the first car of 2022 but managed to buy a couple of other things first including a 2003 Audi A3 TDI Quattro and a 1996 Volvo 850.

The photo of the Volvo is from 2015 when a friend owned it, I need to arrange collection at the end of the week.

The Subaru and Skoda have a small amount of interest in them so maybe I'll find new homes for them in 2022.

If the 504 pick up ever ends up on the way out, I hope I'm in a position to afford it.

Nope, different car.

Richard had a lovely 850 estate which was owned by a friend of mine for a while after Richard passed away. He sold it last summer though.

Yeah, it's tragic. I explored a couple of caves/mines with Richard including the one he lost his life in.
