As you know Tony, there is as much chance of catching nothing as there is of all 4 wheels falling offLucky bistard! I hope you catch nothing and your wheels fall off.
I haven't had a wheel fall off of one of my cars since I stopped driving kits cars! I did have a spate of wheels falling off at that time though!
For years I've waited,
Looking at my dash board,
A feeling of emptiness,
A deep longing inside,
Looking everywhere,
For,
The golden chalice,
Of pre face lift freebies,
But,
My perseverance has paid off,
Finally,
It's here!!!!!!!!
I'm soooooo happy

Watching that cupholder unfold is a thing of beauty! (my wife thought I was mad when I put one on mine - and I smiled with joy repeatedly as I pressed the button over and over).
When it arrived from eBay I thought is was bust, as it struggled to open. I greased the moving parts and no difference. But as soon as it was screwed to the dashboard, works perfect every time
@LUKBENPHI Congrats on the new purchase!

Lots of silicone grease!
Used it yesterday on a trip out to Fountains Abbey. The other half was mightily impressed

Jeepers - nothing related to cars is going to impress my Mrs. The only thing that she might get excited about is if I wash it. If I also give it a vacuum and polish, I might even get lucky - but more likely is a nice steak and chips dinner with a peppercorn sauce!The other half was mightily impressed

I've never had much to add to this section until now. In the past week I've.......
Fitted 4 new Hankook Dynapro A/T M tyres
New Sachs clutch
Old glow plugs extracted and replaced (3 anyway, didn't have time to remove HPFP)
Front callipers overhauled (The pins were siezed)
New pads
Brake fluid replaced
Rear breaks overhauled (severe brake imbalance)
All filters changed
Oil change
Both wrong mirrors replaced (various damage over the years by previous owners
EGR blanked
ARB DL replaced
Tracking sorted
I even washed her
I think that's enough TLC for 1 week

My doris is pretty much a veggie too, and I am a cattle breeder!
She will eat meat off the farm on special occasions, but not other meat.
Think you need to have a serious discussion of gender rights and freedom of choice issues!

Thing is, I'm the cook. But I did agree to no meat in the house, talk about shooting myself in the foot!
And after 20 years, I'm pretty much used to it. Although I will have a steak and ale pie if we're out for tea.
Believe it or not, the statement 'I dream of bacon sandwiches' is real. I do! Don't know why? But it's the one thing I still long for.
What type of cattle BTW?

Angus.
Are there other kinds? Plenty of pics of em here, if you are interested.

Would they not be 'cow' type cattle ?
Yes, and bulls, heifers, calves, the odd steer if they don't make the grade.

Look like nice beasts.
I was down in Devon the other month, if I'd known I would have snuck down for a quick pie and a pint

Call in and I will feed you on meat!
Devon doesn't come into it, us are 65 miles from the border of that place!

Wish I'd kept going the extra miles, never been so bored in my life!Call in and I will feed you on meat!

Going to take a while before I tackle that distance again with the caravan on.
Back off to Norfolk next month
