Methuselah

Several years ago, I was running a BMW, a VW Polo, and a 1934 Austin. I always drove pretty much the same, but interestingly.....in the Polo - I was universally ignored - my preferred reaction. In the BMW, I was often gesticulated at for no apparent reason, and in my pre-war Austin, everyone wanted to be my friend. On the Motorway - lorries would often hoot. Strangers at traffic lights would wind-down their windows and start a conversation - and everyone would let me out at junctions - where in the BM' I'd be cut dead. What strange animals we are....! I also never got stopped by the Feds in the old Austin, for which no Tax or MOT was required, and the insurance was pennies. I wish I still had it...! 

Here's a pal taking his missus for a spin;-

Yep, this is a safety valve!

BTW, how do you access previous "status updates"?  There used to be a link at the bottom of them on the old site inviting you to "view all".

Don't tell me, its here but in a completely different place.... 

@Hroth - you can create your own Custom Activity Stream just for Status Updates (or anything else) such as this - https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/discover/886/

Activity Streams?  Too ruddy technical.....

Thanks, I'll have a go!

Hmmm … .

Seems to be the case, most of the time - but some people seem very sensitive about certain issues.

I have no plans to wind these people up - as I intend to remain a member of this site.

As for me saying how the site looks where I am, the site seems to be in a "testing / bedding in" phase - so I hope nobody minds me saying what I see, in case it's any help.

If not, this might offer a chance for testing out any "delete post" function which might be available to selected people … .

@The Midland Mole - at a busy time it's not exactly a useful contribution.
