Re: Covid-19 Lockdown

Howdy folks,

Not been on here for a while: hope you are all well! Hoping to use the coming weeks to finally get round to editing some of the footage I have of past trips and trackdays. Some of it has only taken 10 years or so to get around too... :roll: :D

Regards,

Bert

Re: I need a "Special Talent"

Afraid I don't log on as often as I used to, but in this topsy-turvy world it's nice to have something to rely on. Is it true Royal Mail have a commemorative stamp in the offing? :thumbsup

Re: Yet another "puppy pic" thread... NLC

Lost our wee collie, Ernie, this morning. Posted the start of him here 2 years ago as a pup: grew into the best wee dog we've had. Diagnosed with epilepsy out of the blue a few weeks back: something collies are prone to. Was a major 6hr fit that killed him. A few of you met him on various camping tr...

Worth a check for everyone, maybe. My '04 S2 bracket went the same way when the car was less than 3 years old. Found it when I investigated a slight creaking in the seat back. Took it up with Lotus and fair play to them, got a free fix at MMC.

Re: Dalveen Pass - what a road!

Some great roads down there. Cut my teeth (and underpants) on a few. Under-rated part of the world, and not just for driving!

Re: Dubai hotel fire

Aye, a very very good result. Three-odd hours to bring that under control with no fatalities or major structural damage is impressive. Real testament to the fire engineering. Be interesting to read the investigation findings.

Re: Pointless car bling

Bah Humbug. Shortcuts. Where's the achievement value in that? Some fecker is driving about in my old car with a couple of my knuckles still in the bodywork: that gives me a particularly British warm glow at night. :)

Re: Heart by-pass surgery.

My old man had a triple nearly 10 years ago after a heart attack. After the initial few months recovery he took full advantage of a new lease of life. Still regularly swimming, cycling, munro-bagging, sailing dinghies (and winning trophies!) at 79. So a crazy old barsteward like yourself. Guess atti...

Re: Chooks end.....

We got some chickens this year, and I thought it'd end in tears as we are on the edge of the woods and have had plenty of foxes about, to the extent of having a family of 4 living at the bottom of the garden, who lounged about as if they owned the place. Got a great wee Collie last year and haven't ...

Re: Lisa nearly lost it

Ooft. At least no damage done to anyone. Thought you'd bought another Evora when I saw the title. :lol:
Sounds like the story of the demise of my car. (That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it...)
