The good morning thread

Home safely. Car had to be jump started at ACA this morning. I was told about the spinning clock and someone thought it was indicative of a battery on the way out.

Tracker fitted, only driven short distances in the last couple of weeks, done very little mileage since sold earlier this year... I was expecting that would happen. Thankfully after a short drive to the nearest petrol station, the car started fine and then had a good 2 1/2 hour drive home. Will be visiting Voicey in the near future.

Thanks to @Nayf and @flexwing for their time and comments which led to me buying blind. I shall now sit down and write the idiot's guide as to how not to buy a Maserati!

It's taken over a year and two failed PPIs, only to buy without an inspection or even seeing the car first.

Morning all.
Last night in Paris for a few weeks.
Finally got the Jaguar XF late yesterday afternoon after the FAFF of getting a Bank Draft.
Today we drive to Laval 53000.
Did a drive late last night around the City and if you haven't done that its really worth it.
Still Crazy but at least you can stop as you wish and see things.

Morning all, rain looks set in for the day, got to weld the slide today as I never got to it on Monday. Also have to put the new battery in the Volvo.

Have fun all...

Good Morning All, and what a good morning it promises to be. My day will start with a one way train over to Chester and Mr Graces cars. The return journey promises much............
As far as November the 7ths go this could be my best ever..........

Morning all, going to be a long day, been awake since 4; wife woke me as I was having an episode, and never get back to sleep after them.
Oh well, man up and fight the good fight, have scaffolders and fab team in my cross hairs today.
Have a good day, especially collecting from Mr Grace, see the MC has sold.

Morning all. Awful weather out there this morning. Off to London at lunchtime to look round a posh hotel on the off chance of a bit of work, and then catching up with a few mates for a couple of beers.

Morning, world. Working at home today. Buggering through a pile of not especially exciting stuff and waiting for an OBD reader to arrive. I can barely contain my excitement!

Afternoon all
Little sleep last night but a good day today despite the rain.
Quiz tonight so I may have one or two nuggets for the other thread..........

Well done!! I've just noted what you spent and I think that is great value. I have copies of invoices etc that I can send to you.
