    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

@Lenny gotta love a bit of Meatloaf 😎

 

The other two I'm afraid I've never heard of but the first (Chakra) was kinda ok 😉

Got to like Chakra back when I had a hip fracture 😂 I was on alot of tramadol at the time was also found of sitting in the bath for an hour starting at the ceiling 

 

How cool or annoying is this 

Peaceful perhaps 

 

My neighbour is looking at getting a Fiesta Sport Van to add to his stable of Fords.

I'd never heard of one so had to look it up:

Effectively it's a Fiesta van in ST-Line trim. I quite like that!

Someone on my mums street has one (a mk7.5) and is used for his business.
Doesn't really look like a van though, just a car modified slightly. 

Seen quite a few round my way - much better looking than the MINI equivalent imo, and a great (and fun to drive) way of promoting a small business.

I've actually never seen one!  The last Fiesta van I remember seeing was a MK4 and that was some years ago.  I always think how impractical they would be over say a Transit Connect, but I suppose they serve a purpose.

There's a focus van aswell, popular in Ireland; heard before that there rare in the UK

Only seen one before and it belonged to another Irish guy on a forum I used to mod on.
Looked quite cool tbh.
My work car is an estate but technically a van back as well due to no rear seats and a mahoosive dog crate fitted in the rear.
Like this one but in white-

Apart from the 💩 problem it's pretty cool. The dad of a guy I used to work with kept racing pigeons and I would take a basket of them out to the furthest part of my delivery route and let them go. Quite fascinating watching them do a couple of circles and head for home 😎

I do like that my name is being sent to Mars on the 2020 mission. 
This will be the second time my name has been sent to Mars as it was also sent on the InSight mission 3 years ago. 

*It was 3 years ago I registered, InSight was only sent there last year.

Thinking about joining Instagram...don't know if that's a like or dislike!  :unsure:  Anyone on here use it?  

Instagram is not bad to use. It's basically just a photos site which is owned by Facebook. 
There are lots of people on there but, like all other social media, it can and does attract trolls, trouble causers and cliques.

I've been on Facebook for probably a decade now. It's still good for groups, but my feed is awful these days, I don't really know any of the people on there now and I'm also very cautious of posting anything at all myself given it has my name on it.

I keep seeing Instagram tags (if that's the right word!) on nice cars at car shows...so can I just follow these people using that tag to see other arty car pictures without them having to accept it?  Like I don't know them in real life so would be awkward to friend request them via Facebook but it seems that's the way it works on IG?  I don't really have anything to post on it myself, was just after a stream of interesting car pictures to look at without having to wade through the political views of people I used to be on a car forum with 8 years ago and have never even met... :laugh:

There in excellent condition, 

They will look great fitted with the blue closely matching the body colour of your focus 

I do like completing a journey in the Passat without any warning lights coming on!!

Very pleased with them, and yeah they will look good with the blue inserts. Away for the next few days though so will have to wait to put them in. Very comfy though!

For the next time you get a warning light come up, this cures it every time 😉

Congrats! :laugh:  I was impressed with the MPG from the warmer weather today!  Can't say I get any warning lights though...except the bulb failure one...haven't had to replace a single bulb in the last 11 months but the warning likes to pop up frequently! :lol:
