Today I have mainly been V2.0

Fucking gardening. Managed to tame my front garden and get myself covered in little slicings of plant from the mower and strimmer. Amazingly, my light blue jeans were returned to blue after washing, from a green hue.

Helping a dear old friend move from his flat in Edgware to a lovely detached bungalow in Eastbourne. He’s 78 this summer so well into dotage. His last years will be down here so we can keep an eye on him.

…packing my bags. I’m off to Lisbon to watch a couple of Dead Can Dance gigs in Lisbon on Thursday and Friday. Back late on Saturday hopefully rested, fed and mildly sunburned. I’m not expecting much from the gigs as they were shite on their last tour.

Thee Mightye Stallion has gone in for a service and MOT today.

Will it cost more than the damned thing is worth? :grimacing:

Probably.

A few hundred quid to fix your old car is money far better spent than a few hundred quid on some banger that you don’t know anything about. And the grief of buying used cars, fuck all of that.

But then we miss out on the fun and frolics of a What Car to Buy Next thread :unamused:

I have already decided on what to buy next, so I’ll be starting a thread to ask for opinions to ignore shortly.

Good, we will stock up on pictures of LS400s and Phaetons ready for that.

isn’t there only one option? and I am sure we already have a Porky thread somwhere

It’s not like anyone actually starts one with any sort of intention to buy, though. It’s all about the tyre kicking.

Just bought an 07 mini cooper for a runaround to replace the 13 year gangbanger. No idea if it’s any good

They are fun to sling around :+1:
