Hot water good tip, but I wonder if spilling screenwash while refilling the tub last night has made the chirpy horn stop working this morning.
The Fiat is parked up in St James Square while I prowl around Soho looking for hot haircut action.
Wrong reaction I know, but not the cheapest place in the world to get a haircut?The Fiat is parked up in St James Square while I prowl around Soho looking for hot haircut action.
Piece in the Money section of today's Telegraph about Nicky Clarke(spelling?). He charges £650 to new customers for a haircut - I think that would be women, not men? He has got about 10 properties around Paddington - not really surprising!

Red red red:
I had for a fun year a 500 quid red 1990 Range Rover, which I sold for 500 quid after it failed its MOT for rust. No crashes, but it got me a speeding ticket.
Later I got given for free an early noughties BMW 540i, and that was maroony red. I did not crash it, but I did get LOADZA speeding tickets in it (yes, I know, I know) , so I chopped it in for a 2004 X Type Jag 3.0 estate found on a back lot in Luton, which is green and therefore non crashy or speedy tickety, and is now sat outside my wife's London flat with transmission fluid leaking all over the road.
I add that IF I can ever afford a Ferrari or a Maserati (this will never happen), it will be a blue one or a silver one. I LUST for the plum coloured Series Three Lamborghini Espada that is on for 125K at the moment, but the Lottery Gods do not favour me.
Lowtimer, we should have got another bloke in and syndicate-purchased that blue over tan Ferrari 456 that was on sale a month or two ago, but hey ho.
Oi, hands off that Espada up at Ian Tyrrell's gaff, it's mine.... I saw it in the metal at the NEC last year and fell hook, line and sinker for it. Stay away, you have been warned! Sell some of your other heaps and bag a Maser 3200GT with the potential to implode for around / possibly less than £10k.

But don't sell the 124, ever. This thread only needs a beginning, a middle and a long drawn out fade into the sunset, not and ending....
Some nice period decor here BV, good quality stuff, I've used some of their stickers on my classics....

Thanks. but which marriage? I have been married three times, divorced twice, and engaged five times. I was last married in 2012. It's, as they say, complicated.
Some might think your car buying and marital history shows a hint of an aversion to commitment. Can't say I blame you if they will keep bring out alluring models what's a man to do other than try them?

So, while you're buying the cars that I've always found strangely appealing, can we add an Autobianchi A112 to the list?
Never heard of this car. Never seen one. Have now Googled it. WANT ONE.Breadvan72 said:

I go to a different barber every 25 years or so.
Thing is - I never know what to say when they ask how I would like it cut!
What do you do?

Ooh er, pricey but rare....I've got my eye on a Maser QPIV at the moment which is just as scarce but it's £10k.... funny how values vary across the marques, even the Italians (some of the '60s Fiat 500s for sale at the moment are in the same ball park). Cheaper than most Mini Coopers though.Breadvan72 said:

Ah, I took the reference to your wife's place as a recent change. My one divorce makes me feel somewhat overshadowed in this exalted company. Breadvan72 said:
