My next door neighbour said that he read on the internet that John Travolta had bought two gooses for Xmas dinner. "That's the wrong tense" i said, "Geese is the word"2 points

Oh it runs on VPower too Julie 😎 The drive itself was pretty boring most of the way, I did most of the driving, that car has the most uncomfortable seat I've ever sat on, I just could not get it set right 🙁 At time the outside air temperature hit 35c, but when we got up in the mountains it was down to 28c brrrr. We were due to meet up with Izzy's (Paul's fiancee) family up in the mountains, they were driving down from Bangkok, but had to go to a funeral first. So we met up with Izzy's sister and her boyfriend and followed them up to a viewpoint at 720mtrs up to watch the sunset, we drove along dusty single track roads, met some cows, and eventually got to our destination. We were the only ones there and while we're were hanging about for the sunset a ranger had spotted our cars and drove up after us, then came over and had a chat with Eve, anyway the gist of it was, he said once the sun is disappearing at about 6pm before it gets dark get back to your cars because Tiger footprints have been spotted 😳 Plus there are bears and elephants around 😮 Two drivers One navigator we stopped off off at a temple on the way. some narrow roads and cows then an we arrived at the viewpoint and waited for the sunset Nice view when Izzy's parents arrive later we will find out the plans fo tomorrow. but we have that parts of Thailand are going into lockdown due to a surge in new cases of covid, nothing on the scale in the UK but here they clamp down pretty quick, so we will probably only be here for one more night before heading back to Pattaya and maybe some level of isolation 🙁 Mind you I would rather be isolated here at Paul's house than ours in Manchester.2 points

Hello all. I'm new here and have recently taken ownership of my new, not so new Westie. Firstly, forgive the name. It doesn't actually refer to Westfield Sports Cars, its actually my sons initials and the name of my business which is unrelated to the cars.. Been looking at buying a Westfield for as long as I remember. I've been a biker for 19 years, and having a child/business and all my mates growing up and doing the same, my riding has dwindled (especially post covid), so I decided to switch it up and take the plunge (hoping that me and the 4yr old can enjoy it together). I've bought a 97 SEIW Vauxhall Red top, she's pretty good, but as with any new toy, I've started looking for all the jobs I "NEED" to do. I've played with bikes for many years, but this is my first foray into the proper sportscar market amd I'm a little nervous to fettle. Looking through the forums it really is a wash of helpful, knowledgeable people, and it seems that there is always someone who has been there and done it, so I apologise if there are some stupid questions... As I see lots, pics are compulsory.. so attached is the day I got her.. I've not given up in the bikes, im just waiting until I grow a new garage.. Ps, thats not me in the drivers seat.1 point

Hi All, I know this is not the right time to sell a car such as this (in the middle of a pandemic and a economic downturn!), but it is simply to good too good to go as part of a trade in for my new company/tow car (It is my company so using it as part of the deposit). I have done a deal with a dealership (so match the price and it is yours!), but would rather it goes to someone who will appreciate the care and cash that has been spent on it over the years, rather than it end up in a auction and then neglected on a 2nd hand car lot! The background is that my Dad purchased the car back in 2007, brand new, from the local Jeep main dealer (he really wanted a Range Rover, but could not justify the massive price!). Sadly he died earlier this year and I have inherited it, after using over the years for towing etc and more often in the past 6 months, I cannot justify the fuel costs any more so have decided to move it on. My Dad was a true petrol head with a collection of cars from a 99 year old Morris to a 2 year electric BMW. It has not wanted for anything, I have a a thick folder full of service receipts, original order paper work, and info/receipts for the bits and bob's he added or replaced to maintain the car in tip top condition. The private reg number is included in the sale - LBL 11W - just have a look at the MOT history, find a cleaner one 🙂 ! It is a Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L Hemi Limited in silver with a grey leather interior, with a automatic box. With only just under 72000 miles on the clock from new and is in overall superb condition. Good bits: Rust Free, has been parked in a carport all of it's life. Low mileage top of the range car, with a V8 engine, in really good condition. All the electrics work - dimming rear-view mirror, heated seats, computer, electric seats, sat nav, radio, cd, parking sensors (see below), tyre pressure monitor (see below), reversing camera (with external plug and cable to add trailer camera), duel zone air con nice and cold, central locking etc. Full service history, good alloys with recent Cooper Discovery All Terrain Tyres (see below), a good spare, load liner, all the original tools, hand books, radio code, 2 keys (1 needs the battery holder soldering - I have fat fingers trying to change the battery), chassis/under body professionally protected, privacy glass, heavy duty tow bar with 13 pin electrics, starts first time every time. Not so good things: Due to the nonstandard tyre size it sometimes flags up a low tyre pressure warning ( a common error apparently), one of the rear parking sensors keeps popping out of its hole thus flashes up a error from time to time, one of the lower aftermarket spot lamps is broken, has 2 small body marks (one on front bumper, one on lower passenger door) and the front lower spoiler has become loose on the right hand side. All of these can be seen if you look really closely at the pictures and are easily fixable. As i have mentioned I have already had a trade in price agreed, but if anyone fancies a really quick 4x4 with the reassurance that is in great condition for any car, let alone of one of this age give me a shout. I have tried to be as honest as possible, and do not want to waste anyone’s time or my own, so if someone fancies it, the first to see will buy at £4500. Thanks for looking and please do ask any questions. I live in Gloucestershire, near the M50.1 point

Been buying Tesco's "Finest" Turkey Crowns for over a decade now. Every single one has been absolutely brilliant. Follow the cooking instructions to the letter, test correctly at the end of the cooking time, rest for 20 mins or so whilst the veggies are cooking and serve. If I can turn out a decent roast turkey dinner like that then anyone can1 point
