It was a choice of either washing the cars or jet-washing the dog piss from the side passageway.

When it's sunny outdoors, I'm not allowed indoors unless I have a broken bone or I'm bleeding.

And when I'm bleeding, I'm allowed no further than the utility room.

Spent a lot of Monday washing and waxing both cars (my other half expressed a wish to "snow globe" her car after I finished, which is basically her way of asking me to wash hers too). I'm learning that "snow globing" doesn't really do much to remove dirt from cars and I have to h...

Easy to fit and very secure and you don't need any hooks. Just fold the rear seats down, place the guard in the right place and put the seats back - job done.

Not according to my GTK app. You can change the display of the speed limits/fuel consumption, but I don't think the speedo is covered - at least on my antique Macan, modern ones might be different.

I got home last night to find a letter from Land Rover Finance waiting for me. Turns out that they over-charged me for my final settlement figure (which I thought was a bit high, but put it down to some kind of buy-out penalty). A cheque for £942. Always nice to see an unexpected windfall. And an ir...

The other day, my memory button somehow forgot it's memory - after pressing button #1, I promptly had my face rammed up against the windscreen.

I've now had to go through the rigmarole of finding my comfortable position again.

I couldn't agree more. I observed a total eclipse once when in Cherbourg harbour some years ago. A most eerie experience, everything went totally quiet and even the birds stopped singing as the total darkness swept in and by. If you ever get the chance to be in the direct path of an eclipse, then y...

....but it does go back to my own view of the hypocracy of hybrids......which carry on with petrol or diesel engines for a significant part of the journey. Either we ban fossil fuelled passenger vehicles, or we don't. They either pollute, or they don't. Or maybe hybrids are OK because they only kil...
