I've been working 48 hours per week across six days since January 2012 and still today 🤷‍♂️

I'm guessing alot of people will be getting used to the increased social time especially those with young families at home. 

Others will be scrambling to get back to work with increased motivation and eager to try out there new found perspective's

    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

If I'm 26 with all my no claims from 17 it's £1500 for me on a audi RS6. Surprisingly I was quoted £1170 for a porsche cayman at my age 😂

You really were bored last night! :laugh:

You've been here about 50% longer than Ian & I, yet have 150% more posts...how does that work?  I thought I posted a lot!!  :laugh: 

Must be the longest standing member though, I don't think there are any others left from 2011 now? 😮

What sort of jobs have you got in atm?  Can't be any PDIs now?  

I do like having an uneventful drive and Sainsburys trip this morning!  Did a Tesco shop last Tuesday, just 2 mile drive each way...I was fairly certain the battery would be dead by this Tuesday but it was absolutely fine, stop start still kicked in after 6 miles too.  I dunno what's wrong with all these Mk8 Fiesta's dying since lockdown! :unsure: 

I also like seeing it's the 25th anniversary of Lynx Africa...mad to think that's been around for longer than @zain611!! :laugh:

Lol, there are various threads about them dying well before lockdown!😀 Mk 4 Focuses too.

@TomsFocus

I'm definitely an old member now, there are some longer running members though.
Secret is I'm always here somewhere, Tapatalk keeps me in the loop.

I technically didn't have a car when I joined, but had ordered a Ford Direct car and was waiting for it.

Fiesta 5 Door Titanium, 1.6 TDCI, '10 Plate, Panther Black, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Tech Pack (Bluetooth/USB and Keyless/Power start)

Nice!  Very similar to my own Mk2.5 Focus shortly after joining in 2014, also a Panther Black 1.6 TDCi Titanium! :biggrin: 

Think I was still on the 3rd 306 in Oct 2010 though, 2001 1.4 Meridian (74bhp!) - lowered on Koni adjustable shocks & springs, GTi6 Cyclone alloys, spoiler & splitter, K&N cone filter, massive JBL sub & amp, blue calipers, forum stickers, Black Ice Magic Tree and super rare ABM projector headlights...  I used to be so cool... :cool: :laugh: 

8 1/2 years for me now.
Started with a Mk1 Focus LX, now on my third ST [emoji3].

Have you time for a chat 😂 bet he's playing the ice-cream truck tune; 

Then its "no ice-cream today kids but since your here, any confessions?" 

@Lenny there has to be a Father Ted joke for those photos :innocent:

Reminds me of the episode when they do a mobile mass when Dougal is on the exploding milk float-

I do like that I've just ordered 13 new plastic model kits to build. A mix of aircraft (mostly civilian ones) and cars (unfortunately no ford ones this time) and they'll be delivered on or by Saturday.

That is the one!! That episode is one of the best **goes to find it online/Ch4**

I like the fact the Cabin Filter for my Focus is 'just' small enough to fit through the Letterbox, so now I don't have to go pick it up.

Ancestry.co.uk is free until Sunday to celebrate VE day.  Could be interesting. :smile:

It's all free!*

*Except the parts you have to pay for. :tongue: 

 

I does genuinely appear free at the moment, but of course the catch is losing all the info you've found on Sunday unless you sign up! :rolleyes:
