After the car meet this morning, it was back for a bit of DIY this afternoon. One more railing to go but quite happy with how these look.

Had a great experience with this dealer but hate their stickers. Three of them on each car they sell (2 front wings and boot) so spent an enjoyable 15 mins removing them today.

Also... have christened the car the White Whale, for obvious reasons...

Got to be honest, before this afternoon I had no idea that the Dodge Pioneer even existed.

But now I do, and isn't it a magnificent thing?

Marlborough once again coming up trumps.

Cleaned, polished (kinda) and chammied, waiting for Car & Classic to turn up tomorrow to take photos.

When I look at it, I literally can't understand why I'm selling it.

But as wonderful as it is, it's just not the car I want right now. Dream fulfilled, now time to move on.

Ah maryanne hobbs - Minor Threat on a Thursday. The most fun you can have in 45 seconds and still for me one of the most thrilling expressions of youthful disaffection ever. Absolute joy. BBC Radio 6 Music

Superb shot.

Unarguable.

How have I only just heard of Fuck Buttons? This is brilliant.

This was on the wall of a meeting room in the client site I was on near Eindhoven today. Taken in 1968. Cracking shot.

Which one are you having?

Bang. On. Point.

Well this is absolutely the right start to the day.

Just gone midnight here in Eindhoven. Got to the hotel 40 mins ago after delayed flight. Bar closed, no room service, but managed to blag two 330ml Duvels + a pack of carrots with hummus dip.

Fuck I hate travelling for work.

Also: hired a Peugeot 2008. One word review: don't.

Always check the car park, Southampton Airport edition.

Why wouldn't you take your slightly ratty GT350 to the garden centre on a Sunday?

Sounded awesome as it pulled away. Suspect it might be owned by a Lindsay, as they live about 2 miles from here and the condition and motorsports stickers suggest it's very well used.

Bit miffed about this one.

Home after 10 hr drive back from Scotland in the Superb.

Collected it Wednesday, 25 miles in it Weds / Thurs, then drove to Scotland on the Friday.

1,340 miles completed in 8 days, 6-up (including Frazzle), roof box, 45mpg (today's wind ruined the average).

Verdict: it's good.

Wishing everyone who is going to the Ian social a cracking day today.

I can't make it sadly due to the small matter of being c.500 miles away.

Leaving now after a fabulous holiday. Home hopefully around 7.30pm.

Hard to explain just how excited I am about breakfast today...

Always happy with a 2.

Belatedly wanted to introduce you to this. It's in no way fun, interesting or exciting. But early signs are it's just the job as a daily.

58k miles, FULL service history, decent but not lavish spec, excellent condition (not a mark on it), painfully white. Perfect family wagon.
