  • MOTs and Posters – find a link if you can!

    This morning I dropped my car off at a garage for its annual MOT test. I don’t think that there is anything major wrong with it, but I always leave it with a sense of apprehension in case there is something terminal or expensive hidden under the bodywork.   As I was walking home I noticed…

  • isn’t it ironic?

    In the last week I have posted twice about the renovation that I have carried out on a toy car (see here and here if you have missed them). Today I took my real car to a garage because it has been making some less than healthy noises. I had checked online and it seemed…

  • work in progress

    When I was a little boy I was given lots of toy cars. I loved toy cars. I would lie on my side with a car in my hand, get my face right down low so my eyes were really at ground level, and then spend ages pushing the car around so I could see…

  • complications

    We are about to buy a new car. Well, when I say ‘new’ it’s new to us, but is about 7 years old. Yesterday we went to have a look at it and tried it out for size. Literally. Our son is now 6’6″ tall so we needed to find a car with adequate legroom…

His insurance claim form would have been interesting if he had crashed. This morning I…

  • what sort are you?

    A seemingly random question, to which I will return at the end of this blog: if you were to describe yourself as a car or a motorbike, what sort of car or bike would you be? This is predominantly a week of preparation for me. As well as having to prepare for two services (incl…

  • Car bears (no, not Care Bears!)

    Last Saturday I bought a teddy bear. Those who read my blog entry for last weekend will remember where I went on Saturday and may realise what was special about this teddy bear. He has moving arms and legs and wears a lovely warm blue jumper with a badge on it. Still not sure? He…
