Post by Southernboy »

Decided I'd give the Zed a thorough polishing and internal valet, then go for a top down drive to watch the end of the world from atop the Magalies Mountains.... :roflmao:

What's that I see out of the window - is it a bird? is it a plane? no, wait, oh it is a plane. :(

Can't see any Zombies either, except for the one in the mirror. :D

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Glad my mate never bought this oil painting for 13K this morning in Padstow but had to suffer some Xmas shopping with the wife she wondered why I was so cheerie and was not to impressed with my reply of waiting for this Big Bang to put me out of my misery :D

Rest of the day ok though folks have good celebrations down here of some friends wedding.
