Sadly nothing, the weather has been a bit inclement to be rolling around under and over the Beast in preparation for the renewal of life. However, it's been parked up for so long now I can find it on Google earth 🌎😕

It could be, but just keep a low profile. Plus, this is where I have lived for 20 years, and this is where my home is so I can't just abandon it.

Lass and mum doing well thanks Mark, Mum doesn't even go to the bomb shelter anymore and just says leave me alone i'm old.:oops:

Don't blame me, this just happens to be where I live.

Greetings Gang, Well, I have been off the grid for the past 2 years due to the unpleasantness that kicked off here in Crimea. So put the black beast onto the axel stands and exited stage left to sunnier climbs for a while. Any how I'm back now and tomorrow will go and see how the Beast has...

Cheers

Long story going back 10 years as to why its not on local plates. lets put it this way i did try.

Went out to go to town today and for the first time ever I thought NO don't do it. Now is not a good time to drive a car on Brit plates This is not a political message or taking any sides. I have lived were I live now for 15 years so yes in essence I am an immigrant. I have had the black beast...

After not being out in the beast for the last 2 weeks just due to it being cold wet and holidays and tbh no excuse that the long haired would accept for me driving in snow. I finally escaped and got out today. (she went back to work) and needed me to do some shopping for supplies. Despite not...

At least it was your wife as could be a bit awkward if the good lady was in the car with you and it called another female and it answered "Hello darling"

Seasons greetings to one and all as it's not quite Christmas here yet (pesky Ruski calendar) Wishing each and every one of you all the very best and to the best of my knowledge we are not invading Weatherspoon's anytime soon. :):) Cheers everyone Hic

Have been lucky so far but the snow has now arrived to my region of Russia.

Not very often you see the traffic cops here in the city doing there actual jobs unless it is an accident as if they did and actually stop everyone not wearing seat belts, speeding and talking on phones, well the city would come to a standstill as that's most drivers but they would make a...

Not too bad at the moment only chilly the -18 plus are yet to come.

And its just coming to the day when people are disappointed by their gift as batteries not included.
