So what have you done today..?

Put the fish order away.

 

Looks good. Which fish shop do you use?

 

This one.

They were used by the previous caterer at our golf club, we got into them during lockdown as Andrew got orders for members, and we've stuck with them ever since.

 

My 2 biggest money pits pictured together.

 

I much prefer the shape of the OG Panigale compared to the later iterations. A bit like the R53 Mini Cooper S - they nailed it first time and since then it’s all been aesthetically downhill.

 

I know, the latest iteration is terrible for the Mini. When we went to an open evening we found the non Rover design too bulbous both on sight and measurement wise. People will say it hasn't altered dimensionally but I can reassure them it has.

It is an Elephant of a car in comparison.

 

If you ask me it's been aesthetically downhill since the 916 series.

Yeah yeah, I'll get my coat.....

 

They need to get their eyes tested

 

Apologies, it's a conversation that you aren't seeing all the contributors to.
We are discussing the Rover designed BMW owned Mini the R53/R56.

Not the original Austin iteration, hopefully I'm correct it was an Austin design Rovers were the larger car designs weren't they?

 

Deffo Austin Mini. Maybe British Leyland at some point?

 

Down from the 851 TBH .

 

I personally think that the 899 is the most beautiful Ducati ever produced but then I would say that and it’s good we are all different as they would only sell one model if we all liked the same bike.

 

Austin Rover at one time too if I recall correctly, they went through names.

 

five minutes ago was about to celebrate finally turning the tide and doing the first small step in assembling back up my last ugly Strada. Finally got the starter in after realising that I'd jumbled up the correct fixings, I even laughed at the sadist that put four holes in the starter motor spacer gasket, as you could be forgiven for lining the wrong one up to find the other two are out of pitch. Securely tightened all four fixings and was about to celebrate with a cup of tea when I looked at the starter tooth engagement that looked a bit sloppy to me. Counting the teeth: – 13, then went to look at the old starter, also 13, carry the starter out to find that despite the same number of teeth, the correct pinion engaged much better and was on the old starter.. am I going to £&@# around changing the pinion in situ? I suppose that I could. Haven't got my small external pliers here either so modified needle-nose pliers it is. Still cup of tea time although I don't deserve it.

 

I think the worst looking version was the last but one (the models with the Union Jack taillights)

 

Sure you do, and have a biscuits too!

 

spot on the money with the Austin being the originator, 1st ones were called an Austin seven.

 

Ah, no! I don’t like that shape SS at all
