  1. Glad you did too- I thought it was just me!
  2. But you're going to anyway - You can convert that figure by multiplying it by 4.5 (litres to gallons) then dividing by 5/8 (kilometres to miles). That means you are getting 23.9 miles per gallon!

    How come you got through 4 clutches? Excellent post, by the way.
  5. I'm using my daughter's old Punto just now, so the Z is tucked up in the garage most of the time. Will sell the Punto in the Spring though.
  6. My old man made my first sledge when I was about 5, and I remember using it every year - it snowed by December most years, and often lasted until March, on and off. I also did a lot of skiing in the late 1960s - no problems wondering if it would snow then either. I think it was in 1969 that we went to Aviemore late on in the season - late April or early May - went skiing in the morning, back down at lunchtime and it was warm enough for a swim in Loch Morlich in the afternoon!
  7. That would be Morecambe and Wise, Tim. I seem to remember we could all spell better in those days too!
  8. Beer at 1s 7d a pint (8p) when I first started drinking, no wonder I was always legless That was lager - beer was only 1s 4d when I worked in the union bar in my first year at university. You could have a good night out, including a fish supper on the way home, from a ten bob note.
  9. The car looks great - will keep an eye open for you when I'm in Ayrshire. I work down there quite a lot.
  10. You're right, Tim. I came close to buying an Azure import from them, but was put off by the guy I spoke to on the phone - still not sure why, just didn't like his responses and his manner - seemed shifty. Then someone else (was it Ming?) suggested that they were a bit dodgy, so I felt I had been lucky not to have gone ahead with the deal.
  11. Good song mate! I love it as I use to be a cop back in the 90's. I did stop an English chap once. Nice guy! Was it you Spill the beans, Martin. What did you do?
  12. I have to put on the Santa suit tomorrow and give out the pressies to everyone in the office! After that I can relax for a couple of weeks. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
  13. I know it's a stupid question really, but have the police caught the perpetrator?
  14. I take it you meant environmentally unfriendly?
  15. Agree with Sarnie - that definitely appeared on here sometime last year. Hard frost expected here overnight - think I'll leave the Z in the garage tomorrow and take the Punto to work.
  16. I thought that was just me Nope - me too. keep taking the Omeprazole Jim It's Lansoprazole for me!
  17. I thought that was just me Nope - me too.

  19. I can get a golf bag, trolley, overnight bag and briefcase in mine relatively easily.
