Yeah it was great, until about 2003 when they made the exhausts symmetrical and removed that effect

Re: What have you done today thread?
I'd booked to do First Tracks this morning with some friends - the cheaty one where we go up in the lift
But it got cancelled last night due to the weather forecast of snow
Sods law, it's bloody lovely now

Surprised the MoT test didn't pick up on th tyres if they were denaturing/cracking though.

Turned the power off between East Croydon and Penge due to a drunk hanging off a bridge at 0130 this morning …..

Re: What have you done today thread?
well, yes!! But this is an organised event before the lifts open. They won't run it in poor visibility. Which is good for me!!Mr. Dazzle wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 7:05 amSounds terrible for Skiing.Noggin wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 6:39 am But it got cancelled last night due to the weather forecast of snow![]()

Re: What have you done today thread?
Woke up at 2 am this morning shaking like a shitting dog. Then I ran to the toilet to find someone had put a Karcher up my backside. Eventually got off the toilet and was back to being very cold again. So much so I went to bed with joggers, t-shirt, dressing gown and a beanie hat on!
Got up for another round of the same earlier and then went back to bed and have just got up! WTaF! Now I'm still cold, but not as bad, but I have the mother of all hangover headaches and i havent even had a drink.
So now i feel very cheated on top of everything else!

No traffic, did it in an hour each way... & that included a detour on the home run as the freeway was closed for the last 5 miles
Now I'm home alone & unsupervised until March 13th

Re: What have you done today thread?
Just checked roomies flight progress...
Flight one was LAX to Denver which left here at 5.25am (PST) & got to Denver at 9am MST (8am PST)
2nd flight is from Denver to Littlerock Arkansas... The aircraft she's waiting on at Denver left Longbeach at 6.50am (PST), gets into Denver at 10am & then leaves there for Littlerock at 11 (MST), gets to Littlerock at 2pm CST (Noon here).
Could have dropped her off at Longbeach to start with.. & avoided a 2hour wait at Denver... FFS
