Breakfast.
I have zero appetite but I'm shaking from hunger. This is all I fancied. Chinkies from two nights ago.

I'm fairly certain that there'll be sensible scientific reasons for the delay. My guess is that it's to allow you to recover properly as the jab can affect some people. If our youngest was still around I could ask why but he also tends to go incommunicado for a week or so after he gets back to work as he tries to catch up with things.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
I've been to my mates with the bodyshop. He got the two sprayers out. How they laughed and to the piss. He pulled me to one side and said £1500 to repair the damage to both sides and respray.
I said if you fit a new rear light, replace the missing body mouldings and mop the whole van I'll give you £2k. It's booked in for the end if the month.
I'd better get my arse in gear, get the plate off the transhit and punt the fucker on.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
Jim Bell takes his cars to the rocket garage in Cullercoats. He lives through the tunnel in South Shields. I offered to pick him up and take him for his merc. He drove the relay back then came to my house and gave me a shot if his merc. What a lovely motor. Proper quality with a 2.4 v6 petrol under the hood. It's V reg but I can't remember the model. It is quite big though. This model is known to rot lile fuck but this one is a minter. Better than the lexus I had and it got a proper move on when you mashed the loud pedal.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
That's the same as my mates with the daft turbo on it. They really are a comfy old barge to waft about in. He's a very lucky boy to find one with no rot. I hope he's had it absolutely blathered underneath to try and hold it back?

Jim had it from me, I had it two weeks but acquired a nippy saab at the time and it was too similar to keep.Scruffy Bodger wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 6:35 pm That's the same as my mates with the daft turbo on it.

The merc only had 170bhp but was lovely and smooth and made a decent noise, I really really liked it and preferred it overall to the 9-5.
It wasn't rust proofed at all underneath as of June last year. Really happy it went through without much fuss.

Re: Pug 107 minus mx5 plus Audi A8
Amazing it's lasted this long then if it's never been done. You'd think 170bhp would be enough but they are deceptively heavy, they certainly feel well made. They also soak up bumps in the road amazingly well. Sounds like Jim did well out of it.Agila wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 6:56 pmJim had it from me, I had it two weeks but acquired a nippy saab at the time and it was too similar to keep.Scruffy Bodger wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 6:35 pm That's the same as my mates with the daft turbo on it.

I had one of those once. The O/S/F suspension arm and the box section it was bolted to just sheered away from the inner wing on the A19 coming home one afternoon.
