my new security camera recorded a Fox at 4:30am, sprinting past our patio, then up into the woods. not nearly as impressive as the field cameras & hedge hogs I've seen on this site. but thrilling for me, none the less. the video clip is so short because he was running so fast!

The Fabia has thanked me for all the expensive TLC I gave it recently by dropping the driver's side window into the door and now I'm going to have to waste my afternoon taking the door padding off and seeing why that has happened. You need to employ a full time mechanic to run a Fabia it seems as there's always something wrong with it
a friend had a car (unknown brand & model) where the passenger side window would drop if someone tried to open it. so funny because she knew it, but one time pretended to accidentally press the button, then claimed she had to run to her mechanic immediately to fix it! this was preceded by a surprise flirty exchange, which she started. a moment burned into my brain forever

see, you shudda stayed!
They do have a lot of fans since VAG got involved and use VW components. It's not something I would have bought to be honest. I sort of inherited it as a relatively low mileage one genuine owner from new car with full service history. I thought it would do me fine as I don't drive much nowadays anyway but it has been disproportionately unreliable considering I've only done about 3,000 miles in it and it's not at all economical either for a small 1.2l car. It's also not nice to drive. I am tempted to just get rid of the thing in the new year if doesn't start behaving itself.

Mrs. GA was having none of that, would have meant a 45 mile commute.
Obviously she was right.

Mild, breezy and alternating between sunshine and light showers here chez Casa Reynard.
Had a restless night's sleep (not warm enough) so ended up with a hot water bottle, which sort of helps. I think it's time to put a fleece throw on top of the duvet.
A quiet morning after all the week's busyness. Fruit bowls have been filled up (minneolas, pears, grapes, apples) and after, I spent some time puttering around on my Paul Warwick archive. As a result, I have discovered yet another error on that image agency website (motorsportimages.com - deals with both Sutton and LAT) - and this one is a right doozy...
The circuit is right (Brands Hatch) but the rest of the description is all wrong. It's a photo from a race start, and is labelled as round 4 of the 1988 British F3, on the 17th of April. It cannot *possibly* be that, because the records show Paul DID NOT START after having written the off car in qualifying. I mean it's so easy to verify...
The photo is actually from the Cellnet Superprix at the end of October. FFS!!!
Anyways, I had a lovely luncheon of a chunk of pork pie, plus two slices of toast with gorgonzola, some blueberries, a minneola and the obligatory two
And I watched Arsenal v Spurs in the Womens Super League. Good win for the Gunners.

Except it's the whole VW group now that's a bit rubbish.
Our current VW have been the best car we have had ...
02 polo and 12 caravelle
Neither have needed anything other than routine servicing and a battery for the caravelle which isn't supprising given the extra mobility equipment it sported.
Fiat, citeron, ford and vauxhall have been the worst!!
