Perry The Subaru Man

In the country everyone gets called by what they do, John the Crane, Dave the brick, Simon Chippy – even car dealers have started to pick up this lingo as I met a man named perry yesterday who actually introduced himself as perry impreza – mentioning that if I ever need a Subaru Impreza he’s my man – from the turbo to the P1 he can get me covered. Whether I want to be covered or not it would seem. But what then does this archaic way of naming people leave to the people whos jobs are unfortunate. Do you really want to call Bert, Bert the coffin or Gerry, Gerry the lavatory? I suppose if it was a law then you could at least trade easier – finding an assasin would be a whole lot easier, walking into a bar and saying ‘Mr.Hitman’ could find you a suitable candidate in minutes. But I suppose then we all need fake jobs so we can fake some second Identities – If I ever get asked I might even use man-whore!!

Pit Bikes and Ponies

When I was a lad I never had a motorbike, I always thought they were cool, lone-rider but with petrol -like. I don’t know if it was where I was from, my parents or just culture differences but I always had horses before motorbikes. The reason this comes to mind is my son asking for a pit bike for his birthday. They look pretty neat I have to say but it does make me a little nervous when its a 125cc engine strapped to a tiny little bike with a not so big lad. I suggested this year we just got him a nice car t shirt with a wiked rally car or biking star on it (obviously some other presents as well) rather than going for the 50mph option. Should kids really be blatting about on motorbikes at his age (11)?

My car still goes!

Going on and on my jeep car continues to strive into the distance! I am thoroughly loving it. I brought my diesel jeep in 1994 and it has never let me down since – 140,000 miles later, a lot of things have happened in that time, a few bumps a few scrapes but this used diesel jeep just keeps on going. It has just sailed through its latest MOT with less than £50 work needed – for a car that old with nearly a quarter of a million miles on the clock.

Other Vehicles

I had a moan the other day on here about lorries. Clearly I was mistaken. Lorries are not the most annoying vehicles on the road – used tractors are in fact the honoured party that get to claim that title. It must have been yonks I was stuck behind that obnoxious little tractor bellowing smoke from its 1965 engine – Thank god for inner circulatory air conditioning. It started when I was driving around carmarthenshire looking for a specific car dealer who specialises in used cars in carms, he has usually got a pretty decent banger that I can use for my sunday races across aynot green – something under half a grand and field-worthy! He did have an excellent nova in the end – shame about the tractor but was a result!

Alpina B3 Sale

When it comes to BMW’s I have never really had a thing with the standard cars, too much unrealised ass involved with owning one – people think because they have a bmw they are special, not realising that it is only the top of a very small tier of cars. This is where tuned bmw’s come in like the fantastic Alpina B3. Times are changing and you can now pick up a wiked alpina b3 for sale here in the uk for a stones throw over the standard bmw price (comparitivly) which makes for a very very good buy. The Alpina equivilents for bmw are fine fine cars – and way classier than the M3s of this world.

Bloddy lorry drivers

I say bloddy..they really get to me sometimes – I know I do have a very nice car so a little bit of mickey taking is going to happen as jealousy arrives but this afternoon took the biscuit. A DAF lorry that was turning round literally parked directly in my way. he had a sign in the window stating his DAF truck was indeed for sale so he thought he would try shouting out the window “wanna swap my truck for your v12?” – At least he had the courtesy of knowing what my car had under the bonnet I suppose – still wish he had moved so I wasn’t late for work though!
