Ahh the memories, the bruises what fun we had.

I’ve never had a matte finish paint but it’s fine on all other surfaces gloss paint, plastic, tyres, chrome and glass except for the windscreen. There are matte specific cleaners which might be safer to find.

I find waterless car cleaner shifts anything, marks, bugs, tar etc and leaves a fine polish finish.

I’ve always tried to keep up with the podcast. Mostly for the fashion advice with the season’s fabric and colour tips but I’ve increasingly noticed that these folk actually impart lots of valuable information at the same time.

I do 98% of my charging at home so that I can stay in control and avoid all these problems reported about public charger problems and non availability over vast swathes of countryside. Especially on my frequent commutes between Auchmithy and Melon Udrigle. I’m finding increasing difficulty with...

Aye Frasers say the car needs a new control unit at about £400 and needs the same again in labour. I asked at Macklin and double checked. The girl checked with the manager and assured me it didn’t. I fancy the MG4 estate I think - it sounds interesting and if it’s half as good as the five has...

Hi Les , How very peculiar, in my driving about today I went in to Maklin Motors at Newbridge, Edinburgh. I asked if they could update my MG5 PFL. They said yes no problem but would have to charge half an hour’s labour at £81. Since that is TEN times less than my supplying garage Fraser’s of...

You’d expect a good range round a pharmacy right enough 😜

Almost £800 for me

Waterless car wash / polish shifts it beautifully- and bird muck etc etc.

This is an early instruction to a builder to RTPM It reads roughly - Sweep up all bent nails Any more domed pyramids you raven loony and you won’t get the sphinx job We’ll give you the brush off.

So can I have this AI guy or gal as the fronting driver with 75 yo me as second driver?

That’d be a helluva spectacles set up.

I’ll look forward to that then. The car saying “hello how are you today? Have you taken all your medications? Have your bowels moved? Do you need a wee? OK well go for a little drive now. That’ll be nice for you.” I can hardly wait. 😩

That’s the guy down the road isn’t it??

Not to mention how many eggs they had left to fry on the shovel 🤩

On Monday last I was sitting at my breakfast (bowl of fruit, porridge and seven wee anti oblivion pills). My Daughter messaged to say her and superpup were heading home from their long weekend walking parts of the Speyside way and invited me to join them for lunch in Dunkeld. I knew there wasn’t...

That really shook me. They were burning fags indoors and driving petrol cars.
