few days ago I replied to a tweet, saying that my local Timpsons guy was a legend, uber helpful beyond his job remit, always cheery & up for a chat with customers. We often talk F1 & Alfa Romeo (he has a 147 that needs work, is SORN no MOT). Yesterday he called me over to him 1/n

with a generous gift. David will now be getting his 147 fully restored by an Alfa specialist (David asked me to recommend one, I did). He is over the moon with gratefulness from Timpsons. Apparently this is not unusual from them 3/n

So, you tax & insure your car, its a cheap 2nd hand one because its all you can afford to get to & from work & run family around. You need to go shopping in Bath, support local businesses in process. Yet you get charged more than the person who can afford a more expensive car?

The price of diesel in France rises to ยฃ1.32/litre, a 120000 people of all ages & sexes have protested at the government in the streets at 2000 locations. That's the same price roughly as UK, where we sit with apathy & do nothing. Fair play to the French, we should do the same.

I'm sat on the sofa. The cat walks up to me, stands on his hind legs so his face is 2 inches from mine, then sneezes on my face & calmly walks off. Cats are bastards aren't they.

2 hours cleaning, just water, no products yet, just to get the surface dirt off. Comes up ok for 20 years old. #166 #Busso #AlfaRomeo

Up at 5, now with cuppa, to get ready for #FestivalItalia at Brands Hatch, just 35 mins away. Why? Because I entered the GT in display section. Put new gaffa tape on split leather seat for the occasion. Not a show pony, a hardworking Alfa. #AlfaRomeo

North Weald Airfield classic car & bike meet, simple pleasures of a cuppa & bacon sarnie. Every Sunday, no fuss, no โ€˜sceneโ€™, no twat-wrapped supercars. Proper old school loved cars. Job done. #ClassicCar #Fiat #alfaRomeo #essex #lancia #sundayvibes

List I made last night for Brands Hatch today. 1. Don't buy anything from shop. (Buys cap, tshirt, circuit car sticker) 2. Don't forget camera SD card (forgets SD card) 3. Take food as Circuit food is mega bucks & crap. (Forgets food & spends fortune on crap food).

Today would've been the old man's 75th, he could charm & annoy equally, traveled, fought, loved, lived a full life, told the best tales & left broken hearts wherever he went. Cheers Dad๐Ÿ˜‚

Monday the GT goes in for body repair, estimate is ยฃ800-1k. Director (who I bought it from) says โ€œas sister firm are paying (their guy hit it), I can go to ยฃ1500 & heโ€™ll make sure they pay, so go for itโ€. Iโ€™m now making a note of every blemish acquired over 15yrs. #AlfaRomeo

@JasonManford One of you drove to pub to enjoy a refreshing alcoholic beverage & left car. One of you ran to pub in the morning to collect others car. Your wife is a shrewd player of the game.
