BUT...

...there's no better feeling than the crispness of fresh sheets. So that'll make everything better again.

Bugger!

That's right. Within 100 metres of the sea definitely so plenty of salt flying around.

Wow! Shame about the SD3!

Thanks for digging that out. Lada Decay 10-year Anniversary Edition!

You're welcome to join us!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

It is what it is. Hopefully the recent developments will see the club back on form soon.

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Consider it done!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Poor Saabs.

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Would you like me to bring you a cup of tea as well?

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Sadly I am currently watching my football team in Sheffield decomposing in real time so this really does feel like a metaphor!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

It'll be MoT exempt in a couple of years so we might see it back on the road!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Ah that poor Clio!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Lovely.

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

Wow! Would love to see that! I wonder how much it's decomposed in that time...

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 2d

Could this be a metaphor for something?

Perhaps even a portent?

Or maybe it's just a completely knackered Niva decomposing on someone's drive, somewhere in North Wales.

Dolomite Sprint engine so probably 125bhp. In a 600kg car, that makes it highly entertaining!

Definitely! We must make it happen in 2026

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 3d

Of course!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 3d

Such a crisp design and 5-pot propulsion FTW. Congrats, mate!

Ben Jackson @benjacksontp.bsky.social · 3d

I spent a highly invigorating 45 mins driving around in the Fairthorpe this afternoon. It does not enjoy bad road surfaces and the gearbox isn't always the easiest, but god this thing is fun. Hard work definitely but so much fun.

I used to love them but probably haven't eaten them for 20 years.

You have inspired me to get some more!

Keep the steelies. Minilites are lovely but way too obvious.
