It's not proper Grolsch unless its out of a glass bottle with a sprung re-sealable cap

Had to pop in today and they had 20 bottles for 10€

You have to put a bottle top on yer flip flops to be famous!

Nice little motah, guv.

2011 plate but only done 33k. Fresh from the land of the rising sun.

I love how you replaced the weird Japanese import car with a conventional European car - imported from Japan

Wasn't the issue with the old one getting insurance for a grey import though?

Does it have a KPH speedo and Kanji characters everywhere? The fuse box on Mrs D's grey import MX5/Eunos Roadster was a total mystery

I thought insurance might be an issue, but not so. Made bugger all difference actually. I suppose a JDM import is a different kettle of fish to a bog standard European car that's been over there and is just coming back to its roots, as it were.
All the media is sorted via a software upgrade that's been done, so all in MPH and other old money and the radio, maps etc. are all sorted. The company (basically one bloke who has been doing this for years) I dealt with were kosher, all the cars they have come with a JEVIC certificate for mileage. This one was immaculate. Tried to haggle a bit but they weren't having any of it.

The only issue is the handbook is all in Japanese. I could do a few years at night school, but instead I've got one in English from eBay for a score. Service book is in Japanese as well, but it's got Audi stamps in it at the right intervals, albeit in Kms.

In fairness, a good car for the right price, so I'm happy. I even got the Gremlinette to part with a fair chunk of her savings to pay towards it.

Today I purchased, hunter four wheel alignment.

No, not the machine, just had the car on one to sort it out.

Brilliant little things, it was my favourite company car, some were much better on paper but I really enjoyed that little A1.

A 12mm rod of steel. Bloody handle on my bottle jack is only about 10" long. Its a good wee jack but using it under my bus axle is a right pain so reach this diddy wee thing so making a longer one.

Its the simple things

I've just ordered a jerry can, it should arrive in a few days. It's made of stainless steel

Never been a great fan of Grolsch but the past two weekends my fridge has been getting filled with San Miguel as ASDA has been selling the Gluten free version However, Tennents have brought out a new Export what is just as nice and buying it direct makes it around £1 a bottle.

I really must try GF beers as regular beer gives me terrible guts the next day. I suspect it's the gluten, but it would be nice to know !

I've switched to rice based beers like Estrella Damm for the same reason

Ill buy there Gluten Free version now and then if i have been shopping in Edinburgh as its not sold local to me but again no gut rot if you were to have one to many. I am Sure Tesco is cheaper than this lot though

My new Vena vommute phone case. First open, non closing wallet type case Ive had for years, but I like the hidey card thing and I should be able to use the phone as a camera easier...
