What was I going to say?

Hic? Wibble?

Hurrah! Such a long life.

It's getting greener by the week! The energy cost of Super Monkey Car's construction divided by its use is becoming very low indeed. Well done .

Did you see it change? That is, clock over to 170,000?

Indeed! This is one of the few cars on the road that carries no "carbon debt"!

And yes, the rollover was celebrated in song on the A14 at the eastern outskirts of Kettering

If I were granted one wish, and only one wish, I think it might be:

"To live long enough to read EVERYTHING on Wikipedia."

FWIW, a reasonable amount of this page is still as I wrote it some years ago; the additions, deletions and modifications that brought it to its current state have been to the benefit of the reader

[NickFitz]

Do you have any idea just how highly you are held in regard on here, NF?

I'm still trying to work out how to get a tune out of this stalk of hay...

[NickFitz]

My Croma got to something like 165k, and the VW Polo (1064cc) got to 163k... (of which 163k I did 105k back & forth on the M4 between Neath & Cwmbran).

I thank you (as does the Super Monkey Car)

As it was first on the road on 1 August 1989 (though built in February 1989), it works out to about 8,500 miles a year throughout its lifetime. I had the good fortune to meet it in December 2001, when it was just over 103,000 miles; so it has kept to a rough average of 8,500 miles a year throughout my ownership.

I don't know enough about motor cars to have any idea whether or not these figures are significant; all I know is that it's taking me to Brighton tomorrow

Gosh RC you are so right. It's lovely in here, and so much nicer than General.

TPD is what the Internet is for. Everything else is just the noise we use to camouflage the signal

Good morning Peeps! (from CheeryTowers!)

Would you mind using a silencer on that gun when you kill yourself, please?

Some of us have a lager hangover to nurse.

The builder was early today. At 8 a.m. he was banging on the wall to say he had arrived.

Would love to - but you just admitted drinking lager. Sorry.
