within 3 hours of arriving at john lennon airport ......

got to my sisters place to get my car keys and find-out where she had stored my 911 .
got to my car to find the fuel tank empty  :o

got flashed off a speed camera on the way to the petrol station  :o

got back to toxteth just in time to see the fireworks .....

people decided to shoot oneanother again last night  ::)

freakin sirens and helicopters made sure i didnt sleep to well !!

drove back to the safety of manchester this morning :D

I'd just be happy I got my 911 back ;D

after not driving at all for 4 weeks , the being forced to drive round sweden in a transpoter tdi , i suppose a speeding ticket was inevitable as soon as i got behind the wheel of my baby  ::)

had a clean licence as well .
hoping there was no camera/film in it !!

Tell the Police you were out of the country and your Sister looks just like you.

at was a rear facing camera so i could get away with it ....

however , the girls have driven down to cornwall in there westy .
theres bound to have been an AA incident to give them an alibi  ::)

i was going to post a news link to the toxteth shooting incident , but just reading my last post about a westy incident reminded me of when the girls first got to see the van ....

i had talked them into getting a vw camper , and had offered to do the resto on it , i picked it up on a midweek night and drove it to our mums house to store it until they came on saturday .

so on saturday i was like
" you can drive it to my workshop , i'll lead the way in my van and i'll keep my eye on you in the mirror and stop if theres any problems " ...... " dont worry about all that stuff , there'll be no police about " etc.

so we set off , about 1 mile down the road i saw the cover for the sliding door come away and start flapping around like a samurai sword , i started to slow , noticing the oncoming traffic hugging the curb and keeping a wide distance . i looked in my mirror again and there was a police car right behind them !!!

well , i couldnt stop , as i wasnt strictly legal in my van either !!!

it turns out the cop was angry at first , but seeing 2 women in it who claimed to have just bought it , was totally amused that anyone would buy such a thing , and was amazed at the noise the engine was making :)
in the end , he helped them remove the side trim and sent them on there way wishing them good luck !!!

:D

just got back from dropping my car off in liverpool .

my other sister was following me , to bring me back to manchester .

on the m62 , there was a sign . roadworks 2 miles .....

i slowed down , but as my speedo isnt currently working i called my sister and asked how fast we were going .

" 45 " she said .

" ok , i'm gonna speed up . tell me when i get to 50 " i said ....

so i did .
then i did some more .
then i did some more .

"how fast now ?" i asked .

"still 45 " she said .

then i looked in the mirror .......

she hadnt even kept up with me !!!  ::)

dumb .

on the way home i asked her how fast we were doing on the way , she said ......
" dunno . i dont really bother with the speedo unless i see a camera , or a car comes past me dead fast "

 :D :D :D Funny stories.

i remember the time they came to my house ....

after the visit i walked them out and they started the camper .... 

"WTF" i said , "has that thing got any oil in it ?"

so , we drove to the 24hr petrol station at the top of my road to use the lights while i showed them how to check the oil .....

when i'd explained/showed them , moira turned round to julie and said " see !! i told you we should have done that course at the college !! "

OMG !! these 2 aren't kids . theyre teachers and julies been driving about 23 years !!!  :o

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 ::) ::) ::)

after my aborted trip to sweden , i flew back into liverpool last night ....

to find out the city has been invaded by a giant alien spider  !!

its like war of the worlds over there  :o
