Sat in traffic this morning. Not moving. Looked at the clock on the dash and, as I did, the card with the digits on inside just sort of flopped forward. Now the hands are scraping it around. So annoying. Guessing I'm going to have to take the whole dash off just to sort this stupid, irritating thing!!

Can't believe how much I've just spent on a small piece of bent metal and a bit of rubber. Mini parts never used to be this expensive!

what have you bought then?
Jul 09 2014 05:18 PM -

A rear fog lamp bracket (£8.50) and one side sill trim (£18.50). Have been told to buy genuine on that because the aftermarkets can be poor. But, still, £18.50, and that's just one side!! (grumble, grumble).

I think I'll just buy a new rad every few years. Cheaper!

MetOffice weather forecast this morning said it should be raining here by now. It isn't. The forecast now says sunny. That's not really forecasting is it? Just looking out of the window ...

I know right! The weather forecaster suggested wearing a cardigan and taking an umbrella. I felt like a right prat atired like that earlier

Ah. NOW it's chucking it down. I like the description that the moon phase is "waxing gibbous" at the moment. Whatever that means.

Car Sissies Oiling is an anagram of Sir Alec Issigonis. I think that's quite sweet.

Nice little red clubby pickup in Swindon today. Drove past and beeped and then remembered I wasn't in the Mini so felt a bit stupid.

Getting annoyed by the amount of junk mail Royal Mail are delivering now. 1 personal item and the rest is Dominoes, insurance, Specsavers .. loads of it!

Yep. You can opt out of it, they are only legally obliged to deliver mail that is addressed to you.

Cheers for that. Will see what happens. My postie is so embarrassed having to deliver it. He gets so much grief.

The one I saw was halfway up the side of a building next to a busy road/pavement. Don't know how he did it without being seen.

I think the one here is of Stephen Baldwin's head with a zip over his mouth lol

The lesser known Baldwin. Rarely spotted in the wild :-)

Strawberries and Steam Fair today. Lots of those miniature steam engines there. I asked a bloke what they were used for and he said "nothing". Just a toy apparently. Seemed like a waste of coal to me. It could at least power something?

Ha! I asked a similar question here at a country fair last year...and got about the same response. Owner wasn't very pleased with my question.

Just all seemed a bit ... irrelevant really ... I know it's a hobby but I just couldn't see the attraction (unless you like squatting on them and trundling around at about 1.5 miles an hour). Just seemed like loads of work and effort just to make a little wheel go round and some rods to go back and forth.

Absolutely massive spider on the living room floor. Went to get a glass. Came back. It's gone .... aahhhh

They are the size of my fist!

Spiders will be as big as classic minis soon and wear doc martins. Next time you go to get a glass from the kitchen it will be waiting for you when you come back in. 'You brought a glass to a spider fight'
Makes you think though.

Faith in human nature restored today. Had a bit of a roadside emergency and 3 cars stopped to help (and they all got soaked in the process). Some nice people out there.

I like to think the age of chivalry is still alive but you may be right. To be honest though, I think they stopped for the car, not me!

I broke down on my old motorbike a while back due to fuel blockage in the carb and had multiple people stop, and even one person emptied a jerry can of petrol into the tank to see if that would help
Jun 28 2014 04:06 PM -
FlyingScot
Yep if your in a modern good luck, more chance of help if your in something classic, especially a mini :-)

I see I've got another email "summons" for me to appear in Court. In case anyone gets these and aren't aware, they are spam and opening the attachments will release a nasty virus. Courts never send a summons by email.

I keep getting ones saying they need to confirm my apple account and due to suspicious activity paypal needs to confirm my credit card details.

Yeah, I had the Apple one too a few weeks back....
