Got my 6 back after giving up with the suspension issue and putting it in to the garage. So I'll be taking it for a wee blast (trying not to crash it) which will take it over 39k. Such a weird feeling not wanting to add miles but at the same time loving driving it! (Probably just me)
RE: It's Friday - Esmyth124 - 24-02-2017

RE: It's Friday - Ben_w - 27-02-2017
Hahaha, cheers.
Vintage is my favourite....Can be a bit rocket fuel if you come in and neck a couple.on an empty stomach! Also like Chaplin and Corks Vintage, Apsalls Premier Cru and Imperial, Sheppys Vintage etc.
All.proper ciders

RE: It's Friday - Ben_w - 01-03-2017
It is pretty damn good.
I may well be moving toward the Hereford direction later this year....Working in Worcester at the mo. Interview for the permanent job on Friday. If I get it, will try the commute for 6 months but will move if that turns out to be crap

Crikey thats a fair commute! what job are you looking at down this way?
Herefordshire isnt bad at all to be honest! basically a county packed full of good ale / cider, motorsport and affordable living
RE: It's Friday - Ben_w - 02-03-2017
It's an Operations Manager job for the company I work.for and is basically the job I'm doing there at the moment. Yeah, it is a fair commute. 63 miles of M6/M42/M5 torture.....
