      I've seen WRC, Hillrally etcetc...... a co-driver reads pace notes back, so here goes, M1 to Cathorpe, M6 to Stoke, Max speed 70mph, long sweeping straights and straight sweeping curves , 6th gear all the way, cruise control and the radio station of preference...... if anywhere near rush hour apologise to the accountant and use the m6 toll rather than the m6 round Brummingham. At stoke switch on Sat-nav.... you have reached your destination. If you want decent motorway services find an ex...

      Going up there is fine. But I'll be bringing another car back, hence the need for a co-driver....

      My new car is running at 9.2litre/100km...and getting better!

      25mpg. That's about the same as the Citroen CX will do (it's an automatic)

      My shoe leather gets about and keeps me fitter.

  4. seems to recall a yard stacked with freshly-produced ceramic toilet bowls in Stoke-on-Trent.

      You didn't pass any yards? I should hope not!

      Tsk Tsk....

       

      Though I do remember passing a huge stack of newly made toilet bowels next to the Trent and Mersey canal at Armitage, which is near Rugeley and about 24 miles south of SoT.

      Worked in a place like that until it went down the 5hitter... ;-)

  5. is watching "Séraphine". Ulrich Tukur looks very different from the Stasi officer he portrayed in "The Lives Of Others"...

  6. is looking forward to going all oleopneumatic :-)

      Does 500 points have a greater value than your own time spent wandering around?

      Transverse, well at least you're safe from the perils of the 5HP24 as fitted (x3) to my E39 540. The reason I no longer have the car as well!!!!!

      I'll be really impressed if you can swap it out for a 16CSVT...

      "Confessions of a window cleaner" definitely old news. George Formby sang about that.

      Still, it could have been worse. We could have been trapped in a pile of Inheritance Tax returns at HMRC, still waiting to be assessed....

      I've had to deal with it all myself, the last few months and I'm not a lawyer, and the family's 250 miles away, whilst my job takes me overseas... I'm exhausted with it.

      Does it drive and refuel itself ?

      I'm not surprised in the least.

      At €814 for some models I consider British O Gauge to be a absolute bargain!
