The 216 has a split cv boot & failed the mot yesterday. The good news is everything else looks perfect (including the underneath! ), but the bad news is that it won’t be fixed until Monday.
Someone say hello to the concrete cows for me - the smallest one which looks like a badger, is my favourite…..

Sadly not. It’s in storage 350 miles away, and hasn’t been mot’d for a few years.
I could bring a Fiat, or maybe the Alfa 166 - that has various windows which work sporadically, so would pass for an 800 if you squint (a lot)……

What is it about people? Have we become a nation of selfish idiots?
I drove past a local petrol station yesterday and it looked as though a couple of drivers were close to coming to blows. Perhaps anyone who was filling up, should have been be given a lifetime supply of condoms to prevent them breeding?
I must admit that I felt quite smug, as I was driving the Leaf!

Unfortunately it seems so. A couple of pals struggled to get fuel in MK after the show.
I will have to fill my daily drive/ride scooter up at some point this week; keeping my fingers crossed all the morons will be full to overflowing with petrol by then and stocks will have been replenished, otherwise I’m not getting to work!
