Superb service and fast delivery.

Just failed at the last moment.

Unless of course it was sat like this in the van.

This was my proof of delivery. So close.

Superb delivery.

Well done.

Christopher Nolan Trojan Horse Movie Heist pitch.

Tech heist. Crack team played by your usual heavy hitters wiping out ÃÏ servers all over the world.

He only wants to do it practically. No cgi. In real server farms.

Twist. The actors do it for real & we rid ourselves of ÀÏ plus get a cool movie.

Poor show. Bad etiquette.

This stuff works wonders for that kind of thing btw.

Yes. And I approve.

I was disappointed in The Mandalorian that his Marshall character wasn’t called “Raygun” Givens.

I have escaped London and have taken a day off tomorrow. A three day weekend which is costing me a days wages but I don’t care. I’m shattered and haven’t been home in two weeks.

The 850 sprang into action after lying dormant all that time and dominated the motorways in order to get me home. 🫡

Yup that’s my guy.

It’s still unreal looking at it and knowing I’ve driven that car.

Right. I’m rewatching Soldier today at some point.

I thought the bathroom tap in my rental digs looked familiar.

Keep them running.

I want a little Japanese hatchback project / learner car / grocery getter after this job.

Looking at K11 Micras 1.0L 3 door manual, something like this.

I was going after one recently but it sold. So I’ll just wait until the new year and grab one hopefully.

And now brand new “door keeper opener” action on the 850.

Oh yeah. Check that. Mmmm. Nice.

Decided to just leave the alternator for now. I’ve got a spare but this one is the OEM Bosch unit and still doing its job.

Belt changed and engine running fine now. 👍🏻

Rewatched The Guest (2014) again last night as my Halloween 🎃 themed movie.

Such a great little film. Loads of style, great score & soundtrack. Superb performances and just creepy & a little bonkers enough.

Dan Stevens is having such a good time. Charisma for days.

I love radiator work. Especially when you have to swap it out at the side of the road on a hot Friday when you’re miles away from home.

But that’s a very specific thing.

One of my greatest victories.

Alternator belt on the 940 decided to relocate itself on a whim recently. Not even sure how.

I could just replace the belt but as a preemptive bit of maintenance I got a new alternator as well.

Also a new “door keeper opener” for the 850 arrived so I guess this is what I’m doing this weekend.

Shout out to this piece of art I saw at a coffee shop in Soho today.

I get it Burning Horse. I’m picking up what you’re laying down.

It was a spotless K11 Nissan Micra Vibe with less than 50K miles. In gold.

What everyone thinks I’m doing on my truck while the carnage of the filming day goes on…

Vs

What I’m actually doing…

I assume you know about the interesting tunnel fact about the Mini Ones in the Italian Job (2003)?
