Morning.
Minus 4 and frozen snow not so charming.
Light the fire and get the espresso machine running.
Stay Safe all.

Morning, all. Sunny and radiant here, likewise the weather.

Bon weekends to you all.

Académie Française will hunt you down for using weekends!

Morning all, looks pleasant outside, it’s not! Fan heater on in the garage while I have another cup of tea.

Morning,
Breakfast done, cup of tea and some mindless diy/ painting to do while I ponder my future.
Have to decide on Denmark by Monday....

Morning all, plans up in the air at the moment at it is horrible outside wet rain, snow and wet slush don't fancy nipping out and getting the DIY bits, might just light the fire and settle down for a day doing nothing

Freezing cold roads white with salt, however managed to give the Pinin a contactless wash with Bilt Hamber auto foam to get the salt off. Only used the BMW a couple of times this year so far.
Isn't our climate weird we can have years without any snow or even having to scrape any ice off in the morning. This year we are making up for it!

Morning Gents.
Apparently it's going to go from minus 3 feeling like minus 8 up to plus 8 by this afternoon.
Stay Safe all.

Morning all, I now know how the Irish fixed penalty system works after collecting a speeding ticket yesterday.

Nothing planned other than a Chinese for dinner tonight

Have a great day, all

Just heared from a pal that he has ordered a new Aston Martin DBS Superleggera to replace his now three year old DB11. Takes delivery on March 1st, so will have the new reg number.

His DB11 cost him £120k originally (it was a few months old when he got it) and he’s been given £83k for it as part ex. I thought £37k depreciation over 3 years on a newish Aston was pretty good going. Oh, and he got 20% off the list price of his new DBS.

He used his DB11 as a daily car and it’s been faultlessly reliable. Way better, and less costly to run, than the Rapide he had before that, and the DB9 before that. So, a big thumbs up for anyone thinking of buying a second hand DB11.

The DBS will now be his new daily, as he is a one car guy.

Or even less depreciation if you assume the 20% was part ex (if you get my point)

In any event seems bloody good to me!
