then maybe take it to your local exhaust centre for a check on the ramp so you can look at it all with them …… even if they charge you a tenner it might be worth an unhappy surprise a few months hence Malc

Thank you Malc

Well Done with the sale ……. Might we know the fortunate buyer ? your contribution here has been magnifique Eggzelant 👍 Malc

why not just get a pre MOT exhaust check to see what's likely to be the case ......... say end October a month before the MOT is due ! Malc

I understand he is very unwell Perhaps our very best wishes can be sent please mods Malc

And the Chinese have been around some 5000 years too maybe …….. they have a looooong perspective and very very loooooong term aspirations Malc

And what we do manufacture, and buy from, the businesses are possibly owned by Chinese / India / Saudi - Middle East conglomerates too ……. I don’t know this, I haven’t checked BUT I’ve been reading that Abu Dhabi is being prevented from owning the Telegraph group but I do know that State owns much else of UK corporates and significant businesses …. ExCel centre for instance Indeed Qatar or Kuwait is it, owns Harrods I’ll strike that off my place to do my weekly shop for sure 😅 You'll be telling me next that Fortnum&Masons isn’t independent …… oh where can I go to lunch these days 🤔 and The Ritz ……. Probably owned by the banks maybe ! But to live on the beauty of British soil brings much joy and pleasure Malc

it should be Toyota Hydrogen power ................ but guessing it's BYD or at last ........... an MG Bus 🤣 Malc

Quite surprised it’s only 100% Malc

Wars are brutal. The Crusades, Intertribal African wars destroying whole races …… Zulu wars for instance …… Will the Conqueror too ……. or is that too close to home and upset the modern EU oligarchs …… Joan of Arc ……. Boer Wars and then WW 1 and 2 not just affecting euro nations but the devastation caused by WW 1 and 2 in say the Sudan and the slaughter of the India Regiments too …… for European nations per se. Genkhis Khan ……. it’s endless we in the UK have a relatively quiet time of it right now methinks 🙏 Malc

I think “ never having had it so good “. springs to mind ……. I know my forebears, 60/ 80/100 years back had an incredibly tough life compared to me ……. NHS is sparklingly BRILLIANT looking after all us old codgers who might have kicked the bucket long back had we now been in the 1950s 60s and 70s ……… we just got to remember someone has to pay for it and the 1.25 million staff that help us get better etc Jeez I have 4 cars, zero worries about anything really and never stint with the food shopping whatever ……. Life’s good, a peach and most around me is in a “ good state “ of play Real Poverty in the UK is almost vanished with State Pensions and DWP payouts in all sorts of ways …… and whilst Foodbanks are with us, it’s sad I know, I’m satisfied that very few fall thru that safety net of compassion and societal help in very many respects I'm quietly OPTIMISTIC for our future ……. pessimism doesn’t often feature in my world thankfully 😇 Malc

speaking of cats and kittens . my partner is the Cats Protection lady in charge for Swale incl Sheppey . they always have cats and kittens awaiting adoption ........ rather than breeders getting their gains ........ just a thought Malc

shame nothing's seagull poo repellent ! Malc

My 2006 Honda Legend all fixed Replacement radiator from AUTODOC ( Lithuania it seems ) £144 delivered and now FIXED thankfully remember Honda Main Dealer radiator price £995 🥵 Car delivered to my home and keys popped thru the door Saturday, unexpectedly, we were out …….. garage all closed up today ( bit odd ) and there’s me with a wedge of £20notes to pay their bill ……. Wonder how much ? Gearbox drain down and refill Replace the radiator and coolant ……. how much labour etc might it be do you think ?? Malc

Oh my. Sans board, sans understanding of doggie dynamics and prowess too maybe by m’lud in da mud thinking …….. solar powered ears, even jet pee propulsion 😂 C’mon, open mindedness helps Malc

Treat yourself to a brilliant tho’ aged Ls400 ……. all the power and acceleration in the world 😄 Malc

Skimming across the surface might, did result in damp paws alone m’lud ……. indeed that was the case …. Acts of God / Dog ….. Malc

Or amazingly shallow 🤔 Malc

Fatality is usually finality too ……. But we all on here ‘ live to see another day ‘ Well, hopefully one at least 😄 Malc

An Accountant named Sue eh ! Keeping limited company with Anthony possibly a good idea 😅 ……. ‘is ‘umour mite bee a little infekshous 😇 Malc

it's in the Header maybe 😉 Malc

everyone to their own tho' eh ! we all make our way in the world whatever the outcome and the fun and trials of the journey to arrive there .......... and those really fortunate and really clever buy themselves a Ls400 I guess . or even a pair .......... 🙃 Not much else matters provided one has reasonable health and the capacity to enjoy it ............ oh, and a Lexus or two 😇 Malc

Hopefully the new models gave much improved Malc

could well last the next owner FOREVER methinks Well Done ..... zillions of hours and £££££ spent and makes your initial £400 " investment " wizadry and wondrous .............. Hope it all sells well for you Best wshes Malc
