It’s hardly a secret that I’m a bit of a slag for old Škodas, so the latest @LateBrakeShow episode is an insight into my future. If you haven’t watched, watch. And if anyone wants to buy me a 110 coupe (or even a saloon, I’m not fussy) then let me know youtu.be/HioBbll2lOA?si…
Coming soon to an @EvokeClassics online auction near you… A fantastic example of Citroen doing what they do best.
A year ago this week I started a 6 month placement at JLR Classic. Genuinely like a pig in shit getting up for work in the morning. But then again, can you blame me?
The sort of car that got designed after 14 lines of something.
So then… what do we reckon. 8 miles, unregistered, and £50k. Worth it? kgfclassiccars.co.uk/vehicles/33728/
Having a chat about potential future road trips today, and this has highlighted that “Mille Miglia” is incredibly difficult to say in the Georgia accent.
Retirement presentation for an engineer at work this morning, showing photos of all the cars he’s helped deliver since 1984. “Connors probably got mates with half of those” “Yeah. That Metro. That actual one. That’s Ed’s.” Not convinced I’ll ever escape the BL bandit rumours
Chrysler Avenger Estate in full workhorse mode. Much want. @LateBrakeShow
First day back in work after a week on holiday, and trawling through lots of emails. One of which is a response from the SMMT - I’ll be part of the all-apprentice team driving the 1904 Thornycroft Tourer on this years L2B Veteran run. I’ve had worse returns to work…
Chief Constable Beaney has been told he can’t drive the bobbies cars, because he’s got a reputation for breaking them. #czechonatrek @danieljbeaney
Nice to see @ConnorJHeath in his new role with the local Police and ever nicer of them to provide a suitable car.
Friday short story: Dan isn’t happy because I won’t do the great north run with him for Alzheimer’s Research UK. Dan signed me up for the London Marathon as revenge because “ah, you won’t get in”. Today I had an email through. I struggled to run 6k last week. Fux SAKE
Like some sort of calling card, I touch down in Rhodes to the sight of a Favorit Pickup.
Last minute trip to see Sam Fender & Olivia Dean at St James’ Park having finished Y3 of uni yesterday. Outstanding.
