Whats your latest general buy 2011?


Recommended Posts

So what was wrong with the Smart one Mark ???

Oh and whats the spec on this one  0 -60, consumption, road tax etc

Nothing wrong with the red one Bill really... but this one is a 'limited edition' .. so they say anyway  ::)  ... better spec really.. leather, air, glass roof, bulkhead thingy behind the seats... plus I reckon it looks good  :P:-[:D :D  .. reminds me of the General Lee actually... I may well even get an 01 for the side of it  :D :D

Tax.. Free, not a bean, diddly squat again (same as last one)

0-60... I don't think anyone has ever had the patience, or found a road long enough to get to that speed as yet Bill  :of:D :D

Fuel economy... not really sure.. but it runs for six weeks on a tank and that's about the same volume as an egg cup I believe  :)

I cannot believe how fantastic this Snap-on truck is. Frazer bought it at auction and it's 1:32 scale :)

Now you can break it up and cast all the bits and pieces  :) :) :)

Nice vans they are, fetch a few quid normally too. I'm not sure that I remember seeing a black version before though  ???

Having already sold 77 model cars and now sold another 97 I treated myself to a new satnav with all the in-car trimmings including bluetooth phone connectivity plus live traffic and cameras.  Not cheap (and I avoided the one with the voice of Jeremy Clarkson)

5" screen - very clear display

Travel VIA feature (means I can now avoid Northampton when going north)

Voice control - I can speak and set my destination and options

BBluetooth to connect to my mobile

Beanbag dashboard holder - shop allowed me to take it out to the car and try it before buying (half price with system)

Case and sundry attachments (also half price)

Happy Pansy Girl ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D8)

Salt spreader....

well it is that time of year  ;)  ;D

what you mean??

where its so cold that you believe you should have hot meals everyday and so you queue at the burger van round the corner every breakfast, brunch, lunch, twosies, tea and supper and thought its more economical to have your own 'salt' dispenser  ??? ??? ??? 

(p.s. sorry mark, that instantly came to mind.. cannot think why  ;) )

My latest general buy... a snow (grain) shovel

:D :D :D  Oi.. Cheeky  >:(

My kind of humour though....  :D :D  ... You may well need that for a 'full-on Dangerous Dave' as well Simon  :D :D

Now then.... you on shovel... me spreading salt (in the warmth of my cab... stereo on playing Christmas CD's) .... what a team... shall I get us some bookings  :P

I'll just tap on the window and flash my lights when I want filling up again with salt if that's ok... I think I'm allergic to salt blue paint hard work er... fresh air  :P:-*
