ION, I saw a McLaren this afternoon. I know being an Aston owner I have some cheek saying this, but I don't know which one it was because they all look alike to me. frown
However, it was white and looked zoomy fast in the drizzle. I do like them. thumbup

Talking of drizzle which quickly turned into light rain, so pleased that I washed the car this morning. irked

After reading one of the threads in Homes+Gardens, I've been measuring my garage doors. I think it's about time they were replaced as they're over twenty years old and have suffered various interactions from the propeller of a 21ft Fletcher (228 Mercruiser - ooh yes!) and the rear bumper of daughter's Yaris a few years back. If I buy roller doors it seems I can gain a few valuable centimetres on each side of each opening if I sacrifice about three centimetres of the length (which won't be a problem, it's a good sized building.)
I just need to persuade my wallet it's a good idea.

But their salt and vinegar flavoured disco crisps are yummy.

Anyway, there's a Pher reasonably local to me who supplies and fits superdeedooper garage doors. I shall give them a tinkle tomorrow and see if I can persuade him to pop up with his tape measure and calculator at some point soon.

That bit where they came to my emotional rescue was ok.

Same here with distinguishing McLarens.

I can tell an MP4-12C from the 650,675 models but then it gets all blurred.

I also have trouble between 360 and 430 Ferraris from the front.

The MP4 bit of the 12C was dropped

You think mclarens are hard to know which are which, then look at the 911 models yikes

I've never had a problem with sports car identification, the only thing I can't tell the difference between these days are some Audi and some BMW saloons. Actually add Mercedes to that too, the latest C and E Classes look very similar.

It was lighting my earth wind and fire that was the problem. Fortunately Emotional Rescue turned up in their jacked 110 with disco lights and as a tow ball cap a mini mirrored disco ball.

They did their Rod Stewart thing with the leopard skin tights and I was allowed to leave.

IF you want my body
AND you think I'm sexy

40 years later the PM wears leopard skin print shoes.

Thanks Rodders

You plonker

Just as well Tracy was never a Village People fan.

Escort cozzy? By, that takes me back. Remember the Ruski's?
Marvellous. Bearskin swimwear worn by a tart, possibly one of ET's cast offs. I mean the Russian cossie not the Escort

I must stop the mid afternoon gin.

Maybe bring it forward a few hours

Gin? I'd stick to the Absinthe if I was you chap. The earlier the better.

There's a new spicy version coming out soon called 'Pepper at the Gates of Dawn' aimed especially at the early starters.

Not totally convinced I follow all this, but as I see it.

The Disco was in a 110? Cant have been many there then, unless it was like that camper thing Hamster had on Top Gear.

This Mini mirrored disco ball, Is this a limited run vehicle like the JCW thing?

I dont want your body & as I don`t know you I can`t comment if your sexy or not.

Theresa May`s real house, not the one she got with he job in London, is in the same lane as a friend of mine near Wargrave. I suspect visiting him there may be difficult in future & she wont be needing Chequers because its nearly next door to her own place!

The people in her village are quite nice, I met some last year at my mates BBQ. Fault lies with Tracy IMO
