Early birds today, breakfast is finished and ready to start the day.

About the same fit as my Raleigh Super Grand Prix, almost no seat post showing.

At least my Raleigh's seatpost needs to be up a bit,

But then I do have long legs.

I thought the point was you just spoke ....

It would be like training to have a butler.

Dunno, it could be 24 1/2.

It is however one of the top Raleigh bikes of it's era an 83 Raleigh Road Ace in 531c,

EDIT at 1 minute 52 he shows an 84 Road Ace with the same paint/decals as mine but with a different gear lever position.

Still tall enough that I would need a set of steps to get on board

If not a Golf, then why not a Skoda Fabia? The series 2 ones are reasonable on the budget and easier to find. Series 3 Fabias are really nice (I'm after one myself as I'm too short to see out of the back of a series 2) but I'm waiting to find the right spec at the right price. They're basically a Polo under the skin, but they're just that wee bit bigger.

P.S. I currently drive a series 1 Fabia.

Fabia is on the list as is the fabia estate, yeh no street cred with that one. Wouldn't mind the Monte Carlo edition, but the insurance goes up.

Local garage has a low miles Polo 1.2 SE at the top wnd of his budget.

TBH, most of the cars we saw yesterday had more scratches and chips than my 17 year old Nissan with 130k miles on the clock. Its either me thats the odd ball with looking after his car....

Kia Ceed is on the list too.

Ooooo.....It's wine o'clock.

I don't post here very often but now I've got something so mundane I feel it has to be shared.

My speedometer the other day: just wanted to round the trip up and the total kilometreage jumped up too: the OCD in me wasn't happy!
