Don't use FB or Marketplace but I gather it's a bit more Wild West than eBay. Have sold on Gumtree a couple of times and that description of the transaction from Pete is pretty much spot on 😂

This may not be a factor for you but let's be honest, an MR2 is going to turn way more heads than a Cayman. All part of the "feeling"?

My wife bought a pair of used JBL wireless headphones off Vinted the other day for 8 quid. They were up for that price but multiple offers from others for less. My wife just, you know, bought them 🤷‍♂️

Volvos (specifically P2 V70s, so at least 18 years old) had expiry dates on the door frame for the air bags. But then Volvo came back years later and said ignore that.

When I had my W209 I considered a move to a W211 and the SBC thing was something I was aware of but thought it might be a bit of internet hysteria. My local Mercedes specialist put me right on that score. Finite pedal presses? Nah, you're alright 😂

Really enjoyed our Subaru experience. Leased an Outback for 4 years back in 2021 and obviously didn't have a need for much contact with Subaru or the local dealer but when we did it was like they were normal people. Quite refreshing.

Just seen Warwick Davis's response to his appearance on the honours list. "This is the best thing that's ever happened to me... and I've been in Star Wars". That's made me smile, I won't deny.

Just had a look at 147s on Auto trader. Half a dozen and suspiciously cheap apart from a GTA. But a nice red Twin Spark but with what looked like a huge crack across the dashboard. It was a cat hair on my screen 😂

Lovely stuff. We had a stuffed pork belly roll for Christmas dinner. None of that turkey nonsense. 3kg piece, 3 hours in the oven, olive oil, salt and lemon juice for perfect crackling.

Beautiful cars. My dad had a late 300SL in silver that he bought after a problematic TR6. Never put a foot wrong and my parents even did a tour of the Italian lakes in it back in the 90s. Eventually sold to The SL Shop when it wasn't getting used and got quite a bit more than what he paid for it.

Drew's correct. My Avantgarde CLK had a blue-ish tint. I think Elegance had a green tint.

I don't mind the MCU timeline. I suppose having 3 kids in the house while it was all going on has something to do with that. What does irritate are TV series dramas that don't have a beginning, middle and end. Specifically, an end. The let's see how many series we can spin this out for scenario.

Last year my parents resolved the Abilene paradox in our marriage. After 7 years we all had Xmas together and I roasted a turkey. They asked why. I said my husband and the kids like it. They all said they were enduring it for me. We all hate turkey. This year we're having lamb.

I come at this a slightly different way. I know your thoughts on Spotify but I download lossless from there and then transfer to cassette. Family account. What can I do? 🤷‍♂️ I need an old, cheap, decent thing running Android.

Noted. I need a phone with decent playback for just the cassette tomfoolery that you use yours for. I had an old OnePlus but it's given up the ghost.

Best local fresh proper pizzas are between £10 and £15 (€11.50 to €17) depending on toppings. Plus delivery if that's what you're wanting. Big chain salt filled shite is I suppose about the same if you're careful but their ordering, discount and deal set up is bewildering. #pizzachat
