BMI Regional, which in some ways is the last piece of the British Midland group, with it’s origins dating back to 1938 appears to be the latest U.K. airline to run into problems. Flights canceled and aircraft returning empty to Norwich, a common location for storage. Nothing official yet though. Updated just after I…

Might need a wash though, and the roof now really needs replacing. Need to get that booked in before the guy gets busy.

I I wonder what that fuse is rated at?

MR2 came off somewhat better than the pheasant did.

Veteran of two (and a bit) Oppomeets, approx 50,000 miles covered in just under five years. Only needed recovering once with a snapped clutch cable.

After nearly 10 years of being self employed I’m writing my first British CV/Resume. Frankly I preferred doing the much dryer German formatted one.

Something I found interesting, it appears that google is using OCR in it’s image searches. I’ve only noticed it recently (searching for something that I now can’t remember).

You’ll find me in front of the fire. No reason to move.

Both from around the 10th of December. That wasn’t the worst of it for the season either. Roads are a sea of mud though, hence the filth.

I’d known known that the Metro had come from Columbia Falls, MT from an old ebay listing that was scraped by various sites, but wasn’t hopeful in tracking down any more information. The photos provided some clues, until finally those few brown pixels showed up on the aerial photos.

Kind of a summary (and celebration!) that I’ve been able to keep this crapcan together for a whole year, plus a rough breakdown in costs and all the work I’ve done!

My gran stopped driving for a few months, which lead to her car sitting forlornly with a couple of tyres going flat. Started first time, then took it for an enthusiastic drive on a good local road.

Video road love in test.

Post silly Japanese cars. Oh well, onwards and hopefully skywards elsewhere!

What looks to be like a well travelled 90.

Not picking up a car this time though. And of course, it’s running late, which could make for some fun connections later. 

A guide to corrosion for UK MOT testers from the 90s. Those across the pond might find this shockingly strict.
