I found I had to go back to page 6000 just to get back to about this time last year.
They really are popping on!

Not seen a R17 in a long time. I think the last time was while driving through France in fact, in about 2010.

They, like sadly Opel Manta A series are getting rarer and rarer.
I loved mine, it was the first car I ever did 100 mph in, and the faster it went the better it settled into/onto the road. Sadly a 4 geared one but still, and it was reasonably economical. You do still usually see at least one at car shows.
Got written off just after I got the new MOT on it . A line of cars got rearended, I was the front one.
All started by a learner driver, with 3 mates in the car, was trying to change a cassette just coming off a roundabout and never noticed a whole line of stationary cars waiting for the woman in front of me to turn right. about 4 or 5 all right offs. everyone got whiplashed too as so many cars then didn't have headrests. We, my ex, and I did too. Must have been in 1983.

And started by what would seem to be the most ardent Freelander supporter on here

Says something about the freelander or "hippo" as you mud island people have named it

Preservation of the crops in full swing View attachment 348571View attachment 348572

I just thought I'd say I have just strung our onions. Never had to do that before as we have never had such a good crop! I used the Jack Hargreaves method. Seemed to go OK. We'll see!
But what I would really like to ask is, do you have a favourite way of preserving Haricots Verts? We have a glut and are wondering if it would be simplest to freeze them, presumably after blanching Don't fancy preserving them in jars, I am the only one to eat them so small frozen packets would be simpler.
What do you think?
