XTreme

I'm surprised it was a Toyota.....those things used to be the most reliable cars on the road!

Car's back with new Starter Motor!

Just part ex and be done with it!

Down the Mumbles Terry?

That's high impact stuff!

Good to see you Bob! In your absence @Six30 bought a Triumph, then got rid of it a few days later for a Beemer! Checked out the Transalp yet?

Yeh......walking gives me grief! I've been like this since my late 30's!

What's happening with you @Clive?

Strange today with all the car stuff going on! Here's a clip going over to the animals this morning......and I had to call into the garage to tell them about the car. Burnt off a Gypsy on a moped on the way. Ran into Manolo the Goat Man outside! Lovely old boy.......nearly 80 and walks miles every day with his goats. He speaks a dialect of Spanish that is unique to him. We're used to it now, but stick someone who's learned formal Spanish in University in front of him and they wouldn't have a fucking clue what he's going on about! Then I had to see Antonio the mechanic in his office! For those of you not familiar with dealing with the Spanish, you'll notice their hands going all the time and the body gestures that go along with it. They all do it! I think Italians are the same @boboneleg? Get a bunch of them together and it's like you're surrounded by people doing sign language!

He don't want any part of Beterbiev or Bivol.......who are in his weight class! Beterbiev would probably hospitalise the twat!

Enter the Grua!

Antonio's been......and it's not the battery, it's the starter motor! Rang recovery (included in insurance), and Angel with the Grua is on the way! He knows the house well after all the fiasco with the GS!

Car didn't start again, so it was more of this! Now waiting for Antonio the mechanic to turn up with a battery!

Why didn't the Doctor sort it out?

Wow! That's impressive!

Wow! That's an amazing memorial to their pets!

And now the fucking thing has decided not to start again!

Jap cars are always our preference.......but you just don't find that many cars here! It's overwhelmingly French.

I haven't owned a car for over 15 years......it's the wife's!

Just went out and tried the car......and now it starts as normal!

The car decided not to cooperate this morning (after starting normally late yesterday afternoon)......so it was more of this! The wife didn't fall asleep today.....mainly because I went over a speed bump a bit too quick and it hurt her back. So I'm in the shit again!

@Six30......I'm hearing rumours that they're going to pull Chisora in to replace Whyte!

Gave up on Homeland.....it was just dragging on and on! But now, Netflix have released new episodes of The Lincoln Lawyer!

We're too old to go through all that upheaval now!

Brilliant report as always Pedro! You're lucky you're getting a milder Summer.....no hope of me getting out for a decent run here.
