Yes,

yes

and yes, I expect the Council to be paying. Tree was very very rotten and had recently been inspected.

I will be calling them in the morning!

They'll probably want to see a valid parking ticket and I written letter describing chapter and verse on why you parked your car so close to council property, didn't you know that all trees fall down some time!!

crazy

I've a feeling the council will be shitting themselves. There were survays done on all the tress in the area; they took down a whole load around a small sailing lake down the road last year "in case they fall down and kill someone". They had a lucky escape today me thinks....

Not your car I see for towing your boat, no tow bar (unless a fancy removable one with the slot hidden underneath). So can still go sailing this weekend.

Scooby, with the demise of the Scooby we can no longer call you " Scooby Simon ", mind you it would make a great cabrolet version. Best of luck with the Insurance Co.

Maybe.

Thinking about a Mini Cooper S next as cannot affort another silly Subaru. However, I will also be looking at Aston's in a couple of years time....

Talking to wifee over lunch about what to get next....

Wifee "well we need something a bit cheaper to run at the moment"
SS "I suppose so"
Wifee "But when job market improves we could look for something a bit more fun"
SS.. "umm"
SS "Fancy a V8 Vantage"
Wifee "If I like it, don't see why not"

Did you see the season finale of Topgear? What kind of Aston was that?
That was some beautiful filming as well (would probably make any car look good though).
