Phil - networking as in plugging wires into stuff, or networking as in chatting to people? I'm guessing the latter!

Morning, all. Looks like spring out there, but doesn't feel much like it yet. Making slow progress sorting out the new car. Transport booked for next week to get it darn sarf, then the inspection and all being well I should be able to finally collect end of next week or the week after. Just in time for Easter and sodding off on holiday for a week when I won't be able to enjoy it. Mind you, there's not been much scope for enjoying our sillycars lately anyway. Other than the clearly critical business of buying a car I apprantly have some work to get in with, from home today.

Have a good day, everyone.

Anyone who has been on a Llandow track day with the forum and stayed over night will have enjoyed a lovely meal at Mamma Mia's....one of the best steaks for miles.....Just found out its closing down after this weekend ..... Made some great memories in there.

There is another Italian opened up in Chepstow but it's not as good so if I do another track day we may have to rethink our eatery.

Morning all. Great start to the day today. Joseph slept in his own bed (cot) all night so that is one milestone, and then this morning saw that his first tooth has broken!
Proud daddy moment.

As for work, more of the same!

A very good morning to all....Early trip to centre of Bristol then up to Gloucester for 12. Need to get a cheap daily hack to run around in as well. Local car chap has a very clean 2007 318 BMW that may fit and as my father bought a car off him last weekend and has known him all his life I would expect a decent deal. Couple of decent Skoda Octavia's local as well and these seem to be reliable.....

Thanks Andy...We has 2 VRS Octavia’s many years ago and they never missed a beat and my father has just bought a 2009 Fabia which is a lovely little car for him.
