    I do like getting the all clear from the doctor further to a cancer scare.  Still got lots of problems in my life but at least now I've (hopefully) got a lot of time to deal with them.

  • I do like finally finishing a model kit I first started 5 and a half years ago.  It's a very special model that i was supposed to finish by the time the aircraft took her final flights across the UK

A lot of people use them hand car wash's I never have but might have two getting to old to be messing about cleaning it   

Yeah, he's an older guy so has it done for him somewhere, but really not very often at all.  Though I've seen he doesn't do many miles between MOTs on the MOT checker lol.

Still going through series 1. Happy to go through the episodes slowly. 

I think they deliberately missed out the apostrophe for that very reason...

I get off the beaten track from time to time. I have towed a few people out, and needed a push out on a couple of occasions. But usually I manage!

One rather scenic location was Chapman's Pool, on the Dorset coast. Mine is the white Focus with the trailer, the other vehicle is a council 4x4.. The nearest public road, if you can call it that, it was no more than a narrow dead end track, was about a mile away. Stunning place to work in though! I was helping restore stone steps on the SW Coast Path.

I didn't mind the first episode of TGT season 3.  I'm looking forward to watching the other 12 episodes. Personally I'd have the Mustang though.
The other things I like are that I can watch the episodes in UHD 4K and also relive the episodes on the game (which is actually quite funny) each week (only £11.99 from PS store or XBox Marketplace). So far there's only 1 episode from each season but season 3 will be updated every week with the new episode and then the rest of the episodes from seasons 1 and 2 will be added. 
The game does have plenty of scenes from the show (which can be fast forwarded) and there's the dialogue from the 3 presenters whilst you are messing around in the cars.
There's also a Mario Kart style multiplayer split-screen mode coming soon with some very funny power-ups. 

Season 3 of the grand tour is the last to have the tent and studio audience too. The next season will just be a series of road trip specials.

Went Dorset a few years back during a secondary school geography trip. Was such a beautiful place. Loved the village, open British fields and those historical rocks by the sea. Wouldn't mind moving there when I retire. Yorkshire also looks peaceful.

I married the love of my life.....Oh.....hang on.....she's gone out of the room, Yeah, me too Lenny!!!🤣

Might seem like a small thing to do but, booking Gatwick  airport car park for our next trip back to Florida. Got back on 7th Jan and had post hol blues with nothing to look forward to. So calculated we should have enough money by Oct to go again. Hol booked and the waiting game starts.

Me and my son walked out last time the misses n daughter was in New look, we had time to go mcdonalds (not far away) and have a quick brew before going back, to find them in the queue for the tills 😂

I hate that. When I go asda with my mum and see her in the clothes section I try to pull her out. Weirdly when I go into a girls clothes shop with my mum I just start feeling drowsy. I think my brain just says 'nope not for me'. That's kind of why I don't go shopping with my mum except food shopping as girls just like to look at things which makes the time boring for us guys

Imagine if you had go in Ann summers..... Aux.....  😂 

I had to with the misses in the past, never felt so uncomfortable 😂 

Tbf, she probably feels the same when you drag her into Halfords or B&Q! :biggrin: 

 

Probably just me but I like the perfect white treads on tyres from a dry gritted road.  Also useful for seeing any uneven tyre wear! :laugh:

I remember taking my mum to slim's detailing as I picked her up from dunelm and it was nearby. She just said she'll sit in the car whilst I go. When I got back she was busy talking to family on the phone. Whenever my mum calls to pick her up from shopping I leave 10 minutes after as Id have to sit in the car for 20 - 25 minutes waiting for her which feels like I waste my life away. 

B&Q it depends really. Took my mum there as she wanted to get some paint for my room.

I do like the new bumble bee film, he kicks some *****, felt sorry for him when he got his voice box ripped out. But he figures out the new stereo.
