It'll be interesting to hear if there were any changes made in the exhaust system.

After much head scratching I ha...

When I was there, for the last Test match and One-dayers in 2001, I bumped into a chap who'd hired an XT and had got up North by bypassing the army roadblocks north by using the beach. As the island is about the size of Wales you can't go far wrong Alternatively get a phut phut Me monkeying around o...

Had to go out and collect the club's cricket balls for the season this AM

Yup her catheter bag burst in the accident, nothing a kylie couldn't sort out! I think even if I'd been wearing my best Sri Lankan tie-dyed dress they still wouldn't have seen me. As it was I had my fluorescent Rossi lid, headlight on and open pipes rumbling away. The chap driving the car was more s...
