It's set in the early60s so that's a massive production error! I always like his Alfa speeder.

My bottle of beer is 5 years out of date. Should I be worried?

Well the beer was lovely as was the bottle of Asti that I found with no expires date.

They were located in a cupboard which hadn't been opened in years.

At least it's not the new tyre that you got That sucks though, but that often seems to be the way with punctures. You get a few close together and then you don't get another one for years:)

Just before you jump under a truck to beef up or the like its "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Being killed generally isn't a great strength building exercise, then again I haven't tried it out myself yet

Because as they say "A bush in the hand is worth two in the bird" and "A gathering moss downhill has no stones"

Got an NCT appointment for my Civic this Wednesday. If it fails, I won't mind too much, it only cost me €225.

If it passes, happy days

Its 96, has its usual rust spots but I've patched those up. I'd be surprised if it failed on much, its a very nice driver.

Just filled the car there, first tank was over 47 and this one is 51 without even trying. Wasn't thrashed but I wasn't particularly careful either. Much better than the GTC where mid 40s took serious effort.
