Yep... When I drove a Favorit, that was pretty much the way it was. My Felicia on the other hand was the top-of-the-range and went like shoot off a shovel - a good performer for an unassuming car. The Fabia estate though is somewhere in between the two. I wish it would have more oomph lower down the range at times, but once you've got momentum, it's capable of embarrassing cars that cost significantly more.

Don't take it to my son - he can help it go faster, but in a poof of smoke....

I am watching Crufts BIS

Had the last of the curry & rice for supper.

Yes! Was hoping the Flatcoat would get it.

Getting to where you're going is more important than going fast and grinding to a halt after a few hundred yards.

I'll pass.

I think it was the waggy tail what won it.

Well, we won, but it wasn't a goal fest. Sounds like it was a good game, looking forward to watching it on MOTD later.

Wednesday's game is a completely different kettle of fish, however...

Anything like fish in a barrel?

 

[tyred]

In that case, my Mini is what you need... Seat of the pants driving and ridiculously quick from a standing start. Mind, once you get to about 50 mph, then everyone else is faster than you...

On most of the roads I drive on, that is fast enough anyway. Gives time to avoid hitting the sheep. No motorways here!

Nope... Although I fear we might be on the wrong end of that on Wednesday night...

Likewise out here... No sheep, but we do get suicidal pheasants, not to mention escaped potatoes and sugar beet.

That's the non-recycling bin out ready for emptying tomorrow - the first time in 6 weeks. I've also sent myself an email to my work's account to check the leave situation in early May for a potentially busy few days away.

There's at least one out off Dublin.

There's at least one out off Dublin.

Which is a long way away from here and I try not to go to cities if I can help it. Too many people.

 

[Reynard]

Have furkled about in some books and other reference material in my possession today, as well as looking online, and am now pretty certain that the USF&G Arrows publicity card signed by Derek Warwick isn't pukka. The autograph itself is fine, the card isn't.

The average punter probably wouldn't look too closely, it's just some small errors and inconsistencies, but they do add up. Whoever put those cards together is skilled, but not a nerd.

Ergo I shan't be buying one. I have Derek's autograph several times over, on items with known provenance.

Waiting for the washing machine to grant me permission to open the door so I can get the first batch of D of E expedition laundry onto the airer. The girl came back with one extra pair of gloves, one extra pair of socks, one extra face covering and a £2 coin. We are down one velcro strap for the roll mat.

So, all in all, you're in credit! Shame about the velcro though.

Time to make a and then settle down for MOTD.
