IVA all done, V5 received = Happy Days.

I love the smiths

Sorrow = Miserable (Tenuous I know )

Unlikely. I usually get overtaken at the beginning, lapped in the middle then have to ask for the gates to be unlocked at the end...

Need to have at least one car my mum can get into and out of without a crane so think the Lexus has to go. Not as fast as the 2.5 Twin Turbo and not as thirsty as the 4.0L V8, the 3 litre straight 6 (2JZ engine as per Supra etc) is the Goldilocks version so never thrashed or drifted and looked after by middle aged gentlemen who appreciate a fast, comfortable GT type car. Automatic, updated CD player / phone connectivity / USB input etc. Lovely wheels and new tyres. Recent replacement coil overs all round. Long MOT, 135,000km PM me for more info Reluctant sale at about £3,500 Some history from pervious owners at Lexus World forum https://forum.lexus-world.com/threads/soarer-black-on-black.3475/

Bigger to Biggest Every year a Youtuber called Jared Dines put together a collaborative song with other guitarists on Youtube, and even some professionals (Matt Heafy from Trivium, Tim Henson from Polyphia, Kiko Loureiro from Megadeth, Tosin Abasi from Animals as Leaders, etc.), as a form of Christmas present, with one due to come out in less than a week, I thought I may as well show 2019's effort! (there are some... Joke-y, ones in there too, but the playing is all good!)

I left my harp there many years ago....

Great to see everyone again, particularly Ali and Gail as it has been al long time. Thanks to all attending and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone in WSCC land!

I carry a standard Halfords scissor jack in mine. Held in place with one of these trimmed with a hot knife and riveted to the ally panel. Cheap and handy solution for an emergency!

Sorry to hear about the problems with your rusty ring @a15cro

Sod's law at work. First person to come for a viewing loved the car. I got in to reverse it out of the garage and ABS light and ESP light were both on. Got up to about 10 mph and all sorts of big flashing brake symbols and beeps. Did a quick brake test and all was fine (well except for the abs not cutting in). Plugged in my generic OBD2 reader and nothing found. Borrowed a VAG specific one and just got a generic looking code and a lack of contact with ABS control module. Having hoped for a wheel sensor this was looking serious. Local independent garage specialising in Audi and Saab plugged into some grown up diagnostics - same message. Ahh, says mechanic, I've seen this before, it's either a lost 12v to the controller or a poor earth. Leave it with me. two hours later he rings up and says sorted - the 12v line runs under the battery tray and the battery overflow dumps acid onto the loom causing corrosion, a voltage drop and eventually not enough voltage to switch the abs control module on so it won't talk to ECU or diagnostic kit. New wire spliced into loom, bill for £140 and we're all fixed. I was thinking of a new abs control module and about 5 hours labour to fit - so very happy. bl**** modern cars with no access.

Just received a party political (Welsh Labour) piece of waste paper from my Assembly member (welsh parliament version of MP) he also happens to be first minister , saying how proud he is that his government is the first in the world to reduce the urban speed limit to 20 mph instead of 30 mph . If anyone living anywhere asks for the lower limit it is automatically reduced. Their next stage is they want all roads in wales , motorways, dual carriages, a roads to have a maximum of 50 mph, only reason they have not done it so far is the national (uk wide white with black diagonal) speed limit signs would have to be replaced with number signs and there would need to be repeater signs every few hundred yards . Enjoy the roads of Wales while you can.
