As many of you have probably seen, I tend to travel a fair bit via Train these days. What is the best app in the UK now to book through? 🇬🇧. I’ve used Trainline for years but I’ve noticed booking fees etc starting to creep up. I’ve downloaded @Seatfrog but yet to use it and

I’m not usually one to take the piss out of people’s choices, especially with cars. Your car, your choice etc. However there is a lot going on here and that’s before you notice it has 4D plates 😬……………………….

Picture from when I delivered the C5, the white one is also the new owners car. Registered February 2011 - the same as the one I sold him, same alloys and almost as high spec but has the 2.0 HDI instead. He offered to drive me the 45mins home but I got my long suffering wife to

Still don’t know what we are replacing this with but the buzz I get from buying and selling cars means I’m happy for this to go now and I’ll work out what I’m buying later 😅. Have spent today getting the E-Class all cleaned up, wheels thoroughly cleaned and headlights machine

Tomorrow I’ve had what’s turned out to be the frustratingly rare 3.0 V6 HDI Citroen C5 Exclusive 3 weeks. Tomorrow I am also I’m delivering it to its new owner, an elderly French car enthusiast who thankfully only lives 45 minutes from me. He put a deposit down last Saturday but

We have never technically needed an SUV as the family car but have had them since 2019 up until very recently. For the past few months our family wagon has been a RWD Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI Estate which is a great car, but as is the same for many - my Wife likes a higher driving

Today, me and my Wife have been together for 18 years which is 51% of my entire life give or take 😱, Tuesday will be our 2nd Wedding anniversary and then Wednesday is my Mums Birthday 😅. Seemed like a nice idea at the time to get them all within the same week when planning the

Talking to a lovely chap about potentially going to buy his car this Friday/Saturday. I’ve made him an offer in keeping with the current market but also how much I want his car 😆 so he’s going to sleep on it. I’ll most definitely daily this one for at least 6-9 months if not

Had a viewing on my 3.0 V6 HDI Exclusive C5 yesterday. Lovely older chap who turned up in a 2010, 2.0 HDI Exclusive Tourer and is a proper enthusiast for French cars, especially Citroens. Spent an hour and a half having a look, taking it down the bypass and generally nerding out

Been out & about in the V6 C5 today. Had a viewing on my Dads camper van I am helping him sell (took 2.5hrs, agreed on a price and still hasn’t sent a deposit over as of 7pm 😪), fallen out with a private hire operator who I was warned was a bit of dick and I can now see why,

Generally not that surprised by most things anymore but when my Mum randomly WhatsApp’d me these classic mum type photos, saying they had a new car and it was fully electric I genuinely was speechless🔋😱. Vauxhall Vivaro Life Electric………. 140ish mile range if you’re lucky 🙃

After what has probably been the quietest summer of my career, lots of different styles of work has started coming in again for the end of August onwards. Problem is - I haven’t replaced my 7 Series yet 😬. Question is, what do I get?. I’ve had some fantastic experiences with

Just ordered the only grey lined sunroof blind I could find for sale anywhere for the W211 E320 CDI Estate, as the one it came with was knackered beyond reasonable repair. I try to have a sunroof with every vehicle I own as I love them but it was a rare-ish option back in 2007

The one of these I’m looking at (same engine, LWB Chassis) is considered high mileage and it’s done just under half of the KM’s this one has done with pretty impeccable history too 👀. Think it will be ok 😅.

Hey @becmyjames. Why are you using my profile picture? Also would have had to gone through many of my photos to get that M760/Ammo one from almost 2 years ago 🤷‍♂️
