Finally - even in the limp-wristed soft shandy-drinking South East the temperature this morning was 3 degrees C and the little snow flake was showing on the dash. Started her up and waited.... thought I could hear a faint whirring noise in addition to the usual noises but disappointingly no signs of smoke billowing from the n/s wheel arch.

After a few minutes jumped out and had a look under the front (neighbours already convinced I am nuts anyway) and LO! a faint smell of kerosene and a heat shimmer around the FBH exhaust IT LIVES. Absolutely no smoke though so can only assume that exclusive use of premium fuel (Shell Nitro) and regular doses of Millers Diesel Eco Boost has kept everything lovely and clean. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Ahh Yes, That reminds me, I must set my timed climate to come on in the morning

My garage is no more, it has been demolished to make way for a new kitchen to placate the woman who came home from a long weekend at her pals to discover a brand new RRS sitting in the drive way What the is that she said . Its your new kitchen darling I said, she didn't laugh, but she does love the car and the kitchen is half built.

And the garage was always full of s e and fbh works lovely! 2017 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Santorini Black

^^ nice story.

When my house was built the garage was probably the right size for cars of the era like Ford 105Es but there is no way the Sport will fit in so instead the garage has a nice workbench and lots of tools and boys toys.

There's no room at the front to build a bigger garage but the rear garden is huge and potentially has access from a minor road. Soo..... how do I justify building a triple garage with enough height for a two post lift and a 'mezzanine' workshop? Probably just a dream never to be realised. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Smoke, ive got smoke !!!

Talking of bribery I agreed to fit her a new Bathroom, in exchange for me to change my Freelander 2 to a RRS. She always said they were too big. once i got it she loved it. and there were no moans for me to update it after three years  itisme
