I seem to have acquired a 6th sense to anticipate bad drivers now looking to cutting in. I can actually know when a bmw, Range Rover, Audi or some kind of 1l car is looking to cut in with no indicating lights. The force getting strong to sense foolishness.

I could've done with that myself on the way to the vets this afternoon with an Audi on A35.

 

 

 

 

Just arrived at Welsh Harp near Brent Cross with my cadet OIC (we're doing our Powerboat Instructors course)

I've also towed a trailer down to collect a dozen kayaks  (big yay - they're free :D)

Stewart nearly pooed himself because I have a "when in Rome" approach to driving!

Some eejjit tried to stop me pulling out to avoid some parked/abandoned cars...soo I pulled out anyway...it's fine...he didn't hit me or the trailer - it was close lol

(My choices were slam the brakes on and still plough into the cars because this guy dropped into lane 2 from 3 with no warning or indicators - or pull out and risk a bent lightboard strut.  As it happened, he slowed down)

I love people whom purposely double park there brand new 171 registered vehicle outside shopping centres, so they can say to everyone around them "ow that's mine" when the customer service desk call it out over the intercom vehicle model and registration 😁

171?

ah! just realised , your in ireland. derr.

Yep 

registration over here goes 

171 D 1234

171 = sold between january-June 2017 

172 = sold between July-December 2017 

D = County sold in for example D = Dublin 

1234= it's the 1,234 vehicle registered in that year.

it's all bragging rights in my opinion " ow I drive a 171" 

I do like Marlboro's "Pro-Seal"...  Accidentally left a pack in the 405's glove compartment for 10 days and they still taste as fresh as the day they were first opened.

Ironically I'm that way with my alcohol - once a bottle is opened it is FINISHED.  With cigarettes I can take or leave.

Just as well you don't drink beer in my house then! 11 gallons of Stella in one sitting might be a bit much for you!

I'll try anything once!!

17 plate comes out on 1st March. My Focus was registered on the 25th Feb so was just a few days off the new plate! Dad's got one coming but it won't be here until April, so will be in the new tax bands! A V12 is hideously expensive to tax anyway so probably won't make much difference haha.

I like cleaning a few cars too, namely the Range Rover and my godmother's elderly C-Class.

I do love that carport! 

Very nice RR but an edge would look better [emoji6][emoji6][emoji6]

If an '03 is elderly, my Foci must be archaic!!

11 gallons of Stella "I'll try anything once" spoken like a true Scot @jmurray01 lol

So @lenny does that mean someone somewhere is driving around in 171 D 1?

also personalized plates are not allowed here but registrations such as 171 D 6, 171 D 106, 171 D 206, 171 D 555 etc. are usually taken up by Mazda Volvo Peugeot and Subaru for the 555

I still remember 2009 like it was yesterday, so to me I'd think it was brand new.

To me even 2012 feels like ages ago!

Mine needs it's first MOT at the end of the month, that means it must be getting old.
