Saw it in a bookshop on Sunday at the Faversham car show so will take what I paid for it.........£20.

I already have one which has been signed by Mike Kimberley and thought someone else might like a copy.

I've booked a table for 8 at 7 pm (1900 hours) tomorrow night at The Smoking Dog. It's in my name if you get there early.

See you there :gathering:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Double dissapointment for me i'm afraid. I had intended to camp at the site identified at malmsbury but my son informed me this week that he borrowed my tent and other camping essentials for a festival earlier this year and didnt bring it back with him for various teenaged reasons.
Dissapointed not to meet up with a collective noun of M100 owners, and equally dissapointed in my named and shamed son Ross :roll:

If you use the Malmesbury filling station over the weekend, note that it’s now changed from BP to Texaco. There is E5 fuel (or at least there was today), but not all pumps have all grades. You’ll need to use the pumps closest to the entrance for E5; the others only have E10.

Thanks for the heads up but I intend to use the Sainsbury's in Swindon on my way in/out as it's £1:47 for super as apposed to £165.9 at the Malmesbury Texaco :shock: btw Chippenham Sainsbury's £148.9 (that's what my App says anyway).

The app’s right, Steve - but Sainsburys Chippenham is a 30 mile round trip for me, which kind of negates the savings :lol: :lol: :lol: One of the penalties of living in the rural backwaters.

£165.9 you say? I don't want to pay that for petrol which came from less than 3 miles of my house (if the crow flies over a hill!). I filled up yesterday (actually, it's the first time I've filled it to the brim in 8 years - now that I've changed the fuel tank I can do things like that again!).

This will be my first time to see how far it will go on a tank, so I have a gallon in the boot and will be running it until the light comes on, just so I know.

I payed 156 for Texaco Supreme, which seems good, until i saw what your Sainsbury sells for - that is a good deal!

i topped up ealier in the week at £1.32 in durham tesco.
one thing i noticed yesterday when traveling to work is that at this moment. durham is cheaper than darlington, usually i can get petrol 4-5p cheaper at work than home

I filled the Black Beastie just in case I could find a dog sitter for the w/e but no joy. Couldn't find a house sitter to look after Sod. Sorry, Sid :lol:

£1.509 for Super (E5/97 RON) at my local Sainsbury in Kelsae.

Have a good w/e :burnout:
