Petrolhead. Coffee guy. Enjoy beer which will be evident from my content. Will post pics of cars & dogs (especially Mollie the Collie) #WeirdCarTwitter #CarTwitter

Ok, so #Ferrari. Well, you can’t travel to #Italy for the first time, Milan specifically, and not take a day out to visit Maranello. All religions have their “Mecca” and, let’s be honest, there is no car company more globally famous than Enzo’s Ferrari.
I mean it’s *almost* like F1 under American ownership is intentionally manufactured & interfered with to be as dramatic as possible. 🙄
BREAKING: Both McLaren cars of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have been disqualified from the Las Vegas Grand Prix

This is because the thickness of the rearmost skid of both cars was less than the required thickness

Morning on a day where it almost appears that the trees are smouldering

Also today: 4x4 FTW! BIL had to fetch these gazebos and got stuck in the snow before even loading the trailer. Unstuck the trailer, loaded up and drove out then hauled out his van. Happy days.

I’m full of the cold/shattered and just re read this post. Sorry, that’s an awful skeet. Will try harder tomorrow.
10 years ago, out of the blue, someone on Twitter came out of the blue to ask me if I was the chap that bought his 306 Rallye - around a decade earlier.

I miss old Twitter for stuff like that.

Any MS flight sim players out there? Need advice for a yoke for the boys Xmas. He’s 11 so nothing too £££ please! He has a Logitech wheel so thinking their yoke set might be decent, too? #pc #gaming #flightsim

We all know that bean to cup machines are expensive. But this? This is, for want of a better word, ridiculous.

As in cheap. As in… you’ll save £1k over the proprietary brands.

Just like cars, European coffee machine manufacturers have a nemesis from the Far East.

(dog) walking in a winter wonderland.

Anyone else that has a dog that goes mental with a headtorch? Or just Mollie?

Snow nights are wonderful. The light reflects off everything. Also a sure sign that the snow is away to start falling again.

Thank you Michelin for your Cross Climate tyres. Without them a 220bhp auto RWD Vito simply wouldn’t move in these conditions.

Braking performance is particularly remarkable.

Still slides plenty if cocking about is primary importance, though 😇😂

Apparently this is enough snow to stop the bin collections these days. 🙄

I haz coffee!
(But no grinder thanks to the late arrival of the London trailer due to an accident, I’m told.)

I’m not a #football fan (I’m a football dad, dragged kicking & screaming etc) but…

THAT GOAL!!! 😱

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿4-2 at the end.

Days like these make you feel:

It’s stew season. Tomorrow night’s kids supper is in progress.

On a separate note, any tips on how to change the hearse dip beam bulb in a Vito? My hands don’t bend that way 😫🙄
WEATHER REPORT.

It’s snowing. The Mrs took our daughter to her riding lesson.

The Mrs doesn’t like driving in the snow.

Fortunately it’s not really lying on the roads… yet.

It’s also mid November in Scotland. Snow isn’t unusual 😆

Do you like great #coffee?

Want to support a small business that's run by a really nice bloke too?

You know what to do.
No snow here… yet. I’m in Aboyne this evening. Might take a shovel and a tow rope 🤣

Your order is looked out. Enjoy. And thank you.

Watching #ImACeleb and the Angry Minge comment has led to utter hilarity in our house.

Sadly the 11 year old was listening.

Awkward.

First attempt was simply to expose more of the pic, had zero clue to start.
