Mmmmmmmmotor cars :)

Isn't it great to cackle out loud at a tv programme? I do love the sniping & bitchiness and old-married-threesomeness of Top Gear. Just a little disappointed that there wasn't anything to lust over this time :(

Am still wondering whether to change my car. I'd much rather having something smaller & loopier, but I also need to move house - so can only change it for something costing the same or less. So I went through the TG Mag directory today, looking at things that are small, torquey, daft, and not indelibly associated with bimbos in my brain.

Leaving aside the Vantage, F430 and even TVR Griffith, it turns out that what I really want is a Caterham. Unfortunately (a) I don't have a garage, (b) live in a notoriously moist part of the country, (c) want a boot, and (d) can't really afford £13k for the build-it-yourself Seven, let alone the CSR. Looks like I'll still be keeping my fingers crossed for an Alfa Spider, then...

Oh, and if anyone's interested, friends are selling a P-reg Corsa (1.2l), tax til December but needs an MOT, for £400.

I think there could have been room for all of them on the double bed. There was a space in the middle that they could have shoved Hammond into and made a big yummy man-sandwich.

Thank goodness for Tuesday repeats. Dont get to see any T.V. while Himself is around as he is always on the computer and that is in same corner as TV so you cant watch it while someone is sitting in front of it! Therefore missed last 2 episodes of Dr. Who and last 3 TG also New Tricks. Ah well its only telly and real life tends to be better. Can watch telly when I am alone - tho often dontr bother- just galling to miss the only progs I am interested in.
