So tuesday was MOT day, and......?

Success no adviseries either (well I'd only done 1600miles since last year!)


So I decided to take it out for a run, and what a great car it is to drive, just sit back and relax! Recently I've fallen out of love with it a bit, I fancied something new so this car started feeling like a chore, but driving it has rekindled some interest,

Anyway I managed to get a nice moody photo, despite the miserable weather today! I thought the Mercury vapour lighting would look good with my yellow lamps, although the lighting sort of drowns them,

I think that photo is brilliant. Old cars are always so much cooler than the modern jelly moulds everyone drives. Nice one matey.

Great photo, but if you have off-camera flash, you could just add a touch of fill flash to the right hand side of the car to make it look a little more surreal...

I've put it up for sale, if things pan out like I'm expecting. I'm not going to be able to afford to run x2 low mpg cars, the suzuki's not far from being done & I know, if I had a choice of which to drive, I'd always choose the Suzuki. That and the Volvo Has x4 seats, as a family of x5 I can't even use it as a family bus, shame really. I've got a bloke coming to look at it on Saturday,
