Yep - for OAP's it 'putters' up to the shop and back. Has built in parking aids that can be completely ignored, has indicators as an optional extra, built in corrective lenses in the windscreen for those who last took an eye test in the national service medical and comes with tartan trim and electrically heated pedals.

Honest :D

I thought the Indicators were standard - it's only the device which stops them flashing randomly whichever way the stalk is operated which was optional? :wink:

Waiting to leave Staveley one evening, I was baulked by a vehicle which appeared to want a 1/4 mile gap in each direction before it would pull out.
The dog in the rear window had more get up and go, and a better idea of traffic sense. The elderly driver finally pulled out as I was considering using another route home :lol:

The car? An immaculate Porsche 928 !! :shock: It barely made more than 40 mph between Staveley and the 40 limit at Ings!! :)

It's happening again...

Clicking on the Google Ads (like the top right of this page) earns us a tiny bit of cash for each click. If it adds up to $100 in a month they send us a cheque in the following month.

This month (July) we might come up short and get no cheque in August. (We would get a larger cheque in September)

So can some of you visit the sites in the Google Ads please? About 100 clicks should do it...

Thanks.

Please don't just sit there clicking ads - that wouldn't be nice - it might even be fradulent. Take a few minutes to visit the site instead. There are plenty of folk around here - 1 or 2 clicks from each of you would be ample.

Thought that was a BMW - along with a "put brain in gear , before engaging first " option - like the look in mirror before signalling option :lol:

Still a bit short folks, and it's the last day of the month.
