That new Toyota SUV Hybrid thingy , surely it has been "designed" by a 10 yr old with an etch-a-sketch and a blunt pencil..?

Honestly.....the "BBC Weather App" is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.

Having now seen about a half dozen Jaguar F Pace around and about I can confidently confirm it sure looks like a Kia.

Having spent a lot of time recently in new car showrooms I have been shocked at the gigantic proportions of some SUV's.., no doubt this explains why some drivers of them truly believe they are "kings of the road"..!..?

Some of these folk drive SUVs as though they're in a Sherpa tank. Last week one of them jumped a red light on a busy road, which I was about to join from the minor road. Silly me, fancy imagining that a green light gave me the right of way??? Thank goodness for seat belts, or my sudden heavy breaking would have caused my head to make a dent in the windscreen.

In todays "tyre kicker & new car showroom lurker report"....I can confirm to any interested parties that the new Suzuki Baleno is a nice shape and relatively roomy but a bit doo doo inside..my money would be on a Fabia.

Just finished clambering all over the new MG GS SUV at the local dealers...I have to say for the money it don't look half bad.

According to the lady doing the voiceover in the latest TV/Radio ads there is now an "R" in the middle of "Fabia"...anyone get the memo about this change.....?

One phone call and a bit of a whinge results in a 50 quid reduction in the car insurance premium..isn't it a bit bloomin stupid that we have to do this dance every year...?
-
This morning I have watched a Delorean trundle down our local high St and then had to avoid Jimmy Osmond who was chatting away on the pavement.....it doesn't get much more exciting than that surely...?
-
Apparently the small bag of "Pork Crunch" I ate last night contains enough gramms of fat to potentially kill me outright..whatever happened to those far off days of being able to eat processed foods without having to scrutinise the titchy print on the label ?
-
While clearing out my decrepit old shed I have unearthed a "Benetton F1" cap...is it a collectors item..? also 2 sadly waterlogged boxes of cassettes.."Paul Young's Greatest Hit" anyone...?
-
Apparently it is now compulsory for car magazines to use the term "Juke Rival" in every single issue.."Auto Express" currently hold the record with 47 times.
-
Why do you always start applying woodstain to garden fencing as if repainting the sistine chapel ceiling but soon progress to the throw it on and scrub method.?..oh and now its raining...
-
Does anyone else think that the current trend from some car mfr's for a "tablet style" centre console thingy is going to look a bit naff in a year or two...?
-
While trundling along in traffic today I spotted the "Hair Extension Shop" which according to a banner splashed across the window , now features "100% Human Hair !"...who said the British high street was dead...?
-
It seems that just about every other driver wants to go at least 10 mph faster than I do irrespective of road & weather conditions, may be time to hang up the string backed driving gloves.

Think that I have been a bit ott today in covering my rubber boot liner before taking rubbish to the tip...!?

There is a nice 5 page piece on the Skoda museum in Mlada Boleslav in this months ( Nov #149 ) issue of Octane.

Arh leaves are starting to turn and fall, blackberries are on the hedgerows and the swallows are congregating for their long trek ....the winter tyre threads cannot be far away ?

Been clearing out my large decrepit shed & found 2 long forgotten boxes of cassette tapes....."Dan Reed Network" anyone.......?
-
The "possibly slightly plump" lady in the cafe queue next to me this AM ordered a 17 item breakfast to take away.. my mind was mildly boggled and the interior of her car is surely a sight to behold.
-
US TV shows that are back with a new series after nearly a year away really do need a "Previously...." intro..; anyone who has any clue what is happening on either "Falling Skies" or "The Last Ship" has a slightly better memory than me....!
-
Went to see the mighty Mac last night, they might look a bit like trendy residents of an old folks home but boy can they still rock on ! Great show.

Now I know car design moves along at a fair pace but even so...just how ancient does the last gen Vauxhall Vectra look already....?
