    Terry McCann I suspect. lol.

    Anyone else want to get any Arthur Daley jokes over and done with ?

    TBH, I wouldn't care if it had a Kia badge. Its just what I need right now for my Winter commute.

    I found this on Terry Tibbs and it made me laugh. Is he some kind of TV celeb like that Amstrad bloke ?

    Some exterior photos. Please bear in mind I haven't had time to clean it properly or polish it.

    It will be getting a full exterior and interior valet asap.

    Steve has checked it over and aside from a couple of things I knew about, has declared it good so that's promising.

    When I washed it, I did discover a few funnies. There are a couple or three places where someone has stuck small plasters on the bodywork that have been painted using a touch up stick. Bizarre

    ...and she's no longer suffering from cool-running syndrome now I've removed this little beauty...



    Yes, someone had jammed a small childs toy into the thermostat to hold it open rather than spend a fiver on a new thermostat

    Some tightwad has jammed it open with a small plastic toy loaf rather than spend a fiver on a new thermostat is my take on it.

    I've replaced it (and the plastic tower with an aluminium one as that had cracked) and did 50+ miles of mixed driving and then sat in traffic for 40 minutes on the way home tonight and the needle just sat bang on half way.

    Go figure.

    Crazy indeed


    It's a stunning car though JW. Really enjoyed our lift out in it - albeit you've caused me problems now as Rosanna is keen on something wafty rather than sporty again when we change car

    The 5-speed box is pretty seamless, isn't it ? It promotes what I call "armchair driving" I'm really enjoying driving it ATM.

    Maybe a thatched country B&B from "Monopoly - The Scenic Edition"

    Looked nice from what I saw the other night unfortunately I didn't get chance to have a proper look as I got distracted by Paul trying to run me over/wave/offer me money for a 'good time' or something
