Vauxhall Carlton Next up is one of my most favorite cars a Vauxhall Carlton 2.0 in metallic brown. I bought it from the auction and took a risk on it as whilst it looked clean and the engine sounded good the front wheel bearing was seized solid so it couldn’t be driven. However, the risk […]
Opel Ascona Exit the Capri and welcome the Opel Ascona 1.9 Berlinetta in metallic green (the German equivalent of the Vauxhall Cavalier). Apart from having a persistent problem with condensation forming on the inside of the windows this was a nice car and very quick too for its time. I don’t really have much to […]
Ford Consul My next car was a Ford Consul (almost a Granada) in metallic brown NVK 375L. I’m not exactly sure why this is the only registration I can remember from my early cars but maybe it had something to do with the number of times I was stopped by the police that I remember […]
I’ve had a great time writing this story. I set out to write about the cars I’ve had over the past 35 years, but 6000 words later, I ended up writing about the many fond memories I’ve had around car ownership and life in general. Austin 1100 Whilst still too young to legally drive, I […]
This is a sequel to my “Almost Seduced by a thing of beauty” post a couple of weeks back As you’d expect from the title, the temptation was too much and I’ve finally been seduced by the thing of beauty. Putting aside my own petrol head desire to own such a beast… this was only […]
I’ve deliberately used the word Cloud to grab your attention but the question is equally applicable if you use Cloud systems or in house systems. This post was prompted following an interesting twitter conversation I had last night with Frank Scavo and Dennis Howlett around yesterday’s outage of the Microsoft Azure cloud platform. Frank started […]
It’s a well-known fact that bad news sells… and that’s probably the reason that most blogs you read are full of doom and gloom or are pointing out the inadequacies of someone or something. Having just done that with my previous post I thought I’d buck the trend and write about two good news stories […]
For anyone whose seen the Jaguar XK you’ll know it’s a thing of beauty… not only does it look gorgeous but it’s a masterpiece of engineering packing a super smooth 5.0L V8 power unit a chassis that makes it stick to the road like glue and a state of the art Aluminium body shell. To […]
A month or so ago I fuelled my apple addition further with the purchase of a iMac. I have to say I’ve been delighted with the iMac so far and thought I’d take a few minutes to share some of the things I’ve discovered. As with all the other apple kit I’ve bought getting started […]
If you follow my blog you’ll be well aware of my recent trials and tribulations I’ve been having with Dell. I suppose like many others before me I innocently thought that when I placed the order that I was buying from Dell and that they would take accountability for my order until it was delivered. […]
