He did indeed, Bomma. And very nice it is too.
I haven't seen him for a while, but when I get mobile again, I'll pop in and see him when I'm down that way.

If you fancy a Tuscan, go for a Tuscan S.
The T350 isn't a convertible, but it has removable Targa panels.
I think it's a much purer style than the Sag.

The Tamora is more of a convertible, if that's what you fancy.

But make sure the engine of any you shortlist is properly sorted. .

Have you considered a second hand Lamborghini?


I have to say I wasn't particularly struck on the styling of the Sagaris, looks to me like something Grandbomma would knock up with Lego. Each to their own, and all that...

I do like the look of that Lamborghini, though. Could be just job, that thumbup

Ah but the exclusivity..
Trouble is a Sag is quite rigid, not comfortable for your time of life biggrin

What you need is a Tuscan, T350 for roof off two seater.
I should bloody well hope it is.

"It's a bit stiff, I'd like something with a bit of flex in it"

"Give it a couple of years and the chassis will be as rotten as a peach. It'll flex all over the shop, you'll have a job to get the doors to shut, sir"

"Excellent. That's put my mind at rest"
...as in stiff, track focussed ride. I have a friend who sold his Cerbera and bought one, but the ride is quite harsh in comparison, especially on todays poor roads. It does however get attention.

Bom's just the same as him. Not quite as tall and doesn't have a pot belly, but a right old bigot biglaugh

Good aftermorn, from a very sunny and warm Trivton-sur-Mer!

Although the weather soothsayers have promised that normal service will be resumed next week, so I decided to make the most of the drynedd and sunnyness, and went to Lymington for the morning.

Not unexpectedly, the Beaulieu Donkey Squadron were out and about early doors, along with a detachment of beefs, and horses, all practicing their traffic-calming formations so as to be ready for next weekend's Spring Autojumble.

I enjoyed a very pleasant meander around Lymington and its market, and returned home for coffee and a nalmond croissant before venturing out for a quick lap of the block before lunch. I met up with Steve, one of my walking buddies, who informed me that "something" was happening at the Marina, as he'd just come from that direction, and seen a "Private Ambulance" and several men in white shirts and ties, along with many other people on the jetty.

Turns out that a burial at sea was the occasion - apparently, the dearly departed is placed in a coffin which has many holes cut in it, and some blocks of concrete, and is taken on board a boat to a site off the southern part of the Isle of Wight which is consecrated for the purpose, to be consigned to Davy Jones' Locker.

Every day's a school day.

Anyway. This afternoon sees the England Lovely Girls' cricket team in action against Pakistan, so that's me sorted.

No interruptions, please.

Another good night's sleep, this is becoming a habit now!!!
Apparently it will be as nice today as it was yesterday, with any luck we'll get out in the garden this afternoon to strim the edges and repot some plants, there's been idle chatter about staying out in the garden after to have the firepit lit!!!

No point in me looking for the northern lights down here, far too much light pollution, especially with Fawley refinery the other side of Southampton water from us!!!
It is something I would love to see though!!!

Have you been doing much diving lately paua??
Look before you strim, Bobbers.

Just sayin'

Afternoon all.

It appears I didn't post in here this morning, no idea why I was so amiss.

I've parkrunned, in a decent time too despite the heat, and also done the weekly shop.

Soon I'll put up some new shelves in the garage and possibly cut the grass that the robot doesn't get to.

Ordered a 3m audio 3.5mm headphone extension cable, arrived today, yeah, comes with two male ends, I needed male and female ends, not what I wanted, my own fault.

Currently debating what to do, but it's too warm for serious thinkage.

You'll have to be very careful that you don't upset the LGBGTQRST+ brigade by asking for straight male & female ends instead of a pair of males coupling, Nethybridge.

Don't poke the Woke. nono

If they try to sell me anything electric, they can go and sit on a steaming stump.

Batteries my foot. V12 petrol or bust. V8 at a pinch.

Mrs Bobbers has just ordered a new watch, now you might be thinking "yeah, so what, you have over 20 of the buggers", and normally you'd be right, but this one is very special and is costing £1600.......

There's Norfolking chance I'll move there, but that is indeed a beautiful car, even though I see roofs and doors as unnecessary on sports cars.
