Dropped my T350 off for a service this morning (I spotted Lensey's car's there at the same time again and a lovely rebuilt T440 being finished off for the TAG event). The local tallivan likes to sit under the M40 where the limit is 40mph. Well he's now moved up behind some hedges past the bus shelter as you're heading North under the bridge - be warned. Hard to spot.

Luckily the Perodua's speedo is wildly optimistic, I'm sure my 45mph wasn't really 45 smile (oh, I got the one with a stereo this time!).

Didn't know he had one with stereo.

Tallivan is there alot, pointless 40 limit is a good cash cow.

First time I've seen the van hiding in bushes past the bus stop though (plus they've been 'out of business' for a few months, Oxfordshire just started up again).

Yes, it's all ready, they put a new rad in last week and the fans had dodgy connections so they had to put a couple of new terminals in and make sure everything was working this time.

Have you got around to having the front end sprayed yet?

The Perodua is parked in the garage (out of sight), Mrs Targ just went out to fetch something and came back to tell me that the car reminds me of a Johnny Cab from Demolition Man. She's right!

Well you will be pleased to know my reverse light now works. Only took me three months to get around to it!
