The good morning thread

[philw696]

Well the early start this morning was not good for me; I was struggling on the M25 by the time I got to the M40 junction and found myself actually nodding at the M4 junction! Haven’t done that for a long time, couldn’t get off to have a power nap, did so straight away.

That's your body telling you to take things a little easier mate.
You're always flat out 7 days a week.

Good morning all....Short day for me today as hearing an appeal at another site and it's closer to home....Only thing is the chap I'm seeing murdered his wife and the advice from my boss was to get a seat by the door and wear your running shoes.....Good advice.

We had a chap working with us a few years ago who'd done the same, skinny little runt, just snapped one day apparently, we nicknamed him 'Boston' but no one had the balls to say it to his face, I actually got on well with him, but couldn't get any tips from him!

Good morning everyone and it was lovely to know you Andy.

Try and have a great day and remember say no to drugs this includes you Stevie...

I just took some and now I have a meeting with the plod.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Well, they do have some good gear at the station.

 

[MrPea]

True, but the meeting was in my neighbour's house. All good and the local sprogs are going to get some firecrackers up their anal canals.

Well still alive....and as he stabbed his wife 47 times that's a result.....

A very still breathing good Saturday morning to you all. Boys Both have one of these young driver things today. This will be Dans ....who's 13 ...third time behind the wheel and he will find it a bit dull after doing the Donnington one. This will be Alex's ...who's 10... 1st time and he is very excited. Will get them the drive a Supercar one around Llandow for Christmas I think. Alex would love to drive a Vanage and Dan a Lambo which are both on the list....After that Miller and Carter for lunch with Inlaws and then a visit to Aston Martin Bristol to have a look around as Alex wanted to do this last weekend but never got around to it. He specifically wants to see their kermit green GT12.

Morning Andy and all.
Got a big drive today for the next part of our Spain and Portugal tour.
Being led astray looking at V8 Vantages and think I too might have to have a closer look I blame it on you Andy and Dean

Good morning everyone,
Mrs MLC managed to sprain her ankle at work yesterday, so I don't think we'll be out dancing tonight. Anyway up early to put new boots on the rear... Possibly Shere Hill climb tomorrow...

Morning all, happy hatching day Mrs Catman. Today I am replacing a sill on the Fiesta, not soothing I have done before, actually I have done surprisingly little welding on cars, borrowing a more suitable MIG machine as mine is way to Chinesium and cannot adjust the wire speed!

I bought some 0.6mm wire fore the task.

Have fun all...

Morning all, a quick flight back to the UK to collect the Skoda and Bentley, unfortunately the latter is a dog

Nice name for the dog though.

Morning all, temperatures have dropped here, woke up feeling chilly
A day off hitting the net and looking for something completely new as I refuse to let it bring me down this year, fresh start after holiday
Then the mighty Liverpool play a pub team so will go watch that
Enjoy everyone x

Fine day, off we go

As always made to feel very welcome at Dick Lovett Aston Martin in Bristol. Stunning array of cars. We went as Alex wanted to see their green GT12...What an amazing looking machine. Don't care if their are faster, cheaper, better cars out there it's the one car I would want money no object.....They also had 4 GT8's which look very purposeful and would very happy with either if them. Think I need to have a cold shower now ..

Cripes!

Hahahaha....note to self....take off the bloody predictive tx or read what I type.

Regardless, that GT12 is lovely. Kind of pointless, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Any intel on future stuff - availability of Vantage roadster..?

Did ask but the young lady sounded vague about it. Ones coming but not sure when. Yes, the GT12 is pointless when a V12S can have the same power etc....but look at it....and I'm pretty sure which one would be quickest on your favourite track. One of those cars that just makes you want to jump in and drive.....Its a racing car and who doesn't like to feel like a racing driver even if they can't drive like one.....It has sooooooooo much presence in the flesh...but you could have 4 used V12S for the same price......but I wouldn't. Can't see me every having to make that decision though.

Yes, likewise!

A roofless new Vantage could be good, but that front needs sorting. Perhaps it could have a bit of a makeover at the same time. Its beady eyes and big gob do it no favours. I'm looking forward to getting mine back, Andy.
