Okay. Let’s keep things clean please. :)

A British racing green Montego Countryman was the first car I ever drove with power steering, just after I’d passed my test. I nearly drove it into a hedge, the steering was so light!

I saw this old clonker parked up outside our local petrol station the other day. Can’t be many mid 90s Astra’s still around? I had a quick peek inside on the way past and the interior looked like a failed state.

I was looking cool (apart from the car) I’ll have you know!

My mum had a jade green one of those and it was one of the first cars I drove back in 1991! I used to have a part time driving job which I did around my shift work for German and Swedish car parts (now GSF). Unfortunately I wrote one of their Passat estates off when I was 21 years old by...

I wish my garden was that flat!

That’s lovely

No. Definitely 1934 Peter. ;)

Oof. Left behind in a haze of carpet fluff…

:lol:

It feels like we’ve been going around in circles with this thread slightly. If anyone wants to start a new one on any of the topics that have come up, feel free obviously. Thanks

No thanks. Especially in the dark! I didn’t know that there was an escape route? We deliberately got ourselves marooned down there one night just to sleep in our camper. It was great once the tide was in and you knew that nobody could drive past. ;)

Absolutely. I don’t think I’ve ever had 37250 and looks like an absolute weapon!

Just caught up with the last couple of reports there. I think I might have missed a notification somehow. Enjoyable reading as always. The Wensleydale is a big gap in my railways covered. Might have to do a weekend that way next autumn.

Wow look at that! There definitely isn’t any room for fishing equipment in there. Especially if you padlock it. :lol:

I think until we have some more information it’s going to be best to put a pause on things here. There’s a new thread below to discuss some of the issues that were being discussed though https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/what-can-be-done-to-improve-the-safety-of-user-worked-crossings.306732/

One of my favourite stretches of soggy tarmac is the tidal road at Avaton Gifford in the South Hams. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ei7L6pRTwtxjBfdL7?g_st=ic You really don’t want to take a chance with that road if the tides coming in!

Yes I do regret not doing the line and it’s an awfully long way from here! Oh yeah. I think the head gaskets gone. ;) Oh look at that. Fantastic. What did they keep in the wee shed on the right I wonder? Thanks @Iskra. This week I have been mostly making a barrow crossing out of doubled up...

There’s a few near me that I use from time to time. Probably the longest normal ford in the area is the one on Mill Street in Sidmouth though. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zp5otdCm2DLPW3BV6?g_st=ic
