Life is to short to work for bad people. I had the same thing once - new people paid more than me, despite ten years there. Hopefully you find somewhere that values you properly, mate.

It’s going much the same way here too, Jeff. Volvo pulled the V46/60/90, and are SUV only.

Outstanding pace from the duck to set a personal best in the first sector, but definitely dropped off in the second. #supercars

If she’s anything like mine, she’s only interested in boxes which explicitly are *not* hers.

Ah, I’m using much less flow improver. Maybe that’s the trick. I’ll give it another go.

Yeah, I get it. I hadn’t heard of the Woodpecker before. That’s only about 30-40 mins from me, so I’ll keep an eye out. Does it run annually?

Being the absolute teenage Casanova, I ripped a bootleg cd of that and posted it through the letterbox of the girl at school that I liked. If that’s not the height of romantic gesture, then I’m going to hang up my box of Milk Tray right now.

Oh mate. Nothing I can say will make any of this easier for you or your loved ones. If you fancy a virtual coffee via video call with an internet stranger, to talk inane car/racing stuff, or fancy doing a race watch along at some point, I’m here. Keep fighting, brother. We’re here for you.

Not sure if it’s on next year, but the ERC at Rali Ceredigion might be a good substitute. I’m planning on going if it is!

I remember being determined to not brake for that hairpin until fully through the preceding left hander. Oh, the impetuousness of youth.

"The engine's overheating, and so am I! Either we stand down, or blow up! Now which do you want?" Brilliant film, stellar cast, endlessly quotable lines. One of my all time favourites.

New car week here. Now I’m in my 40’s, I thought it only right I go gracefully and buy an estate. Though it’s a bit like me before and after starting anti-depressants that are also an appetite stimulant. (And yes, the driveway is a disgrace. More grass on that than your average new build garden.)

Maybe… six months old, Twai. But I’ve had it with other, unopened Vallejo products too. It must be something I’m doing.

I’ve had good results from Tamiya rattle cans in the past. I’ll keep trying the airbrush - it’s a sunk cost now - but I think you have the right idea for minimising stress!

That’s a great idea Cari, thanks for the tip. I do use their flow rate improver, but perhaps I have the mixture wrong. I will have another go and try straining the paint!

Thanks Albert. I’ve been using Vallejo recently, with the grey primer the most troublesome culprit at the moment. The brush is an Iwata HP-CS. I had the same issue with my Iwata Neo. I’ll give everything a good soak and try again. Thanks for your advice.

I think it’s the Vallejo that is the issue, Rich. I wish it wasn’t - I’ve got tonnes of the stuff now.
