Early breakfast followed by an early lunch.

Grey seems a relatively popular colour here, a sort of gloss grey primer shade, looks awful to me. Another popular colour over here is a sort of metallic burnt orange/red which I do quite like Another favourite of mine is a sort of metallic grass green such as VW Viper green and there’s also a nice Vauxhall shade. https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&sca_esv=558002575&hl=en-gb&q=vw+viper+green+scirocco&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwihqvr6quWAAxXzSkEAHcPnAqYQ0pQJegQIGRAB&biw=1024&bih=659&dpr=2#imgrc=ts62cQip2rbToM

It’s an odd colour and certainly not an official Lotus colour. I had a bit of trouble when I needed some touch up paint. The garage had some sort of device that ‘measured’ the colour and then compared it which with a data base. In this case there was no match so the paint had to be hand mixed so I had to take off one of the pop up headlights and send it off to be matched. Still got some left in the spray can and when I get around to it I’ve got an Oxford Diecast model that I’m going to paint to represent my car.

No, as I said last week, I’ve had to cancel my Porsche due to ‘adverse trading conditions’☹️ Here’s a picture from a few years ago. unfortunately it’s not been out of the garage for about six years.

Buddy ‘ell, is there a car in there?

Evening All, Picking up on a few points. On @iL Dottore rant, don’t you just hate it when retailers/ebay come up with suggestions for you like ‘ we know you’ve looked at the Fleischmann N gauge Re 4/4 and thought this LGB Hartz mountain 2-10-2 may be of interest’. Rugan, I’m hoping to go there for my birthday treat and may check out the sub. Das Boot is a very good film about life on a WW2 U boat from the early years of the war when the U boots roamed relatively freely to the later years when they were ‘floating coffins’. It is in German, with subtitles but still well worth watching. There’s a submarine in the key side in Vladivostok but I don’t suppose any of us will be going to see it any time soon. Hope the drivel makes sense as be bothered checking grammar or spelling so Goodnight.

Well what could go wrong, an elephant once went for a ride on the Wuppertal schwebebahn? Oh, wait a minute, it didn’t go particularly well for the elephant! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuffi

Be careful what you say, that might be Aditi!!

Looks like the pub was aptly named! The demolition of the Firestone building in Brentford leaves a biter taste in the mouth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestone_Tyre_Factory I believe that the building was demolished over the August bank holiday weekend as it was due to be listed the following day. Bar stewards as a certain bear may say. Anyway, Evening all, Congratulation to the @Gwiwers on their record breakingly speedy purchase and @Dave Hunt and his Mrs on their anniversary. Not much to report here but we went to the Elsecar Heritage centre and I bought a couple of white metal model lorries. They are well made but have been brush painted which detracts slightly but for £7 each I can either ignore the finish or I can have a look at what can be done. After that we collected and delivered some plywood to SWMBO’s cousin and then that just about wrapped things up for the day. Goodnight

No, I’ve got a knacker old MB Vito.

Do you eat gluten free as well?

What, the pizza or the cardboard?

Saw this in an antiques shop today, book certainly not antique so not sure what its doing there! 😉 Made me smile.

Morning All, Just a quick one, @Barry O, hope the missus gets a set of positive ( meaning nothing nasty) test results and @Dave Hunt, you get sorted asap and the medication takes the edge off the pain. Better dash.

Dont look at me!
