    Wife's birthday

    It will be the wife's birthday tomorrow. The milage is fairly substantial (51) so there is a fair bit of wear and tear on the body work. The chassis seems to be in remarkably good condition, considering age and milage but a more extensive examination might reveal some faults not apparent at first glance. Have not really considered replacing this fine example of the marque with something more recent. Can't really complain as over the years reliability and performance has been top notch. I suppose the regular servicing helped. Anyway they don't make them like they used to so I will stick with this vintage model.

    I have been told a new set of lawnmower blades isn't very popular among the ladies either...

    You must do all your own servicing, so you know it's been done properly.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    It takes a life time to learn, then you have to stay abreast of new technology, and upto date equiptment.
