It's a bit 'gay' for Bleu, but I'm not going to get involved in the 'my campsites better than yours arguement' Wink

Today's sea trials (driving it to work) have gone quite well but have discovered a massive infestation of tiny spiders. It's like the end scene out of Arachnaphobia. There are literally millions of the little black and yellow f**k*rs. Any aspiring Bill Oddies out there know what I can do about it?

Other than that we seem to be about ship shape though I'm not sure about the Bristols.

Can you get those smoke bombs that you used to put in your greenhouse to kill all bugs? Failing that some flyspray sprayed about with windows and doors kept shut afterwards should do the trick.

For those who are interested in such matters her are the Commer stats for 2006:

429 miles travelled

22.45 mpg

Oil consumed - Nil

Water consumed - 1 pint



Gross weight on return 2.2 tonnes. (as checked at our local Ministry of Transport weighbridge, which we have to drive right by)

Gross Max Plated Weight - 2.1 tonnes (so we were 100 kg over the legal max weight!)

Vmax -indicated 75mph chasing Robbo and the SPS van on the motorway into Ouistreham

Usually it is at this point I go into a rant about the unreliability of the vehicle and what a heap of crap it is; eg. last year when it overheated in 40c+ cos we'd blocked off the radiator air intake with a big flag, or perhaps the interior light had packed  up or other major problem. Unfortunately this year's journey was completed with absolute 100% reliability. Nothing went wrong. Nadda.

As I think I may have mentioned before,

SHE'S A BEAUTY!

Five Le mans this year by my counting. Plus lots of other races, festivals, parties, trips to the council dump, moving furniture and assorted other local runs. In all, about 9000 miles in six years. All for £330.

 Kiss Kiss Kiss

I think I might rival the Commer next year with this little beastie

What do you think?

Of course the Liverpool Boys might ban me from their pitch for continued bad behaviour! Tongue Wink

Quality, yes, but I'd say he's starting the bidding about £2600 too high.
