Ah... you've mentioned the M word. I think parts for those are known to be expensive, a friend of mine has one. V reliable, just expensive for bits.

I think many cars are pretty reliable, as long as you get the right one for your driving pattern.

It certainly seems happier when it gets a good run out daily, especially over these Northern hills.

The DPF can clog if it doesn't get a regular thrashing now and then.

For shorter journeys or smaller cars I'm not convinced diesels are so suitable.

I'm with the KFC liking, even tho its not that good for us.

I had a Maccy D's with the kids after last weekends run, and to be honest it was a fiver of blandness!

Only ever eat McD's breakfasts.
KFC gravy is a THING OF JOY!

Can't stop laughing at this:

On cars, I still love my Eos. It is a thing of beauty. Driving it (along with 10 years of technological advances) is bliss. So happy.
Hoping the weather improves so I can enjoy it properly.

I got all whoozy again earlier but because fir is here ( hurrah) I went to bed. He has dealt with plumber, a delivery and made his lunch, baked some biscuits and done some house work and made me a cup of tea and is bringing me another.

This morning we took dogs for their boosters. I talked about dog dog and said about her slight stiffness and I am adamant its not in her replacement joints but in spine and vet things she might, just might, have a slightly slipped disc. So, we have an orthopaedic referral ( same excellent practice) for a fortnight time.

I apologised for a grubby kiwi, and she said she likes dirty dogs, it means they have a life. I said...that's the problem, that is what he says to me as he wanders off ' don't cramp my style, I have a life you know'.

Is KFC gravy "THE" gravy, that should accompany chips?

NO! That would be chip shop gravy.

Hopefully a 'name' will make others pay more attention too. And good that it sounds like it might get better rather than definitely being a permanent addition.

IF things had gone according to plan, the stuff would all have been dumped this afternoon. But the council jobsworth has managed to stop us again, and I am going back to the dump first thing tomorrow morning.

So, I have a van full of stuff outside my house, and the NPs are welcome to whatever they want. However, I will then need a bit of a hand getting the stuff out and reloading.

I'll post a photo in a minute.
