    By no means a toy for obvious reasons but I just got a 3 month old German Shepherd pup. His name is Otto Von Bismarck (Otto) and he's a good boy. Never cried or whined since his first night with us, already house-trained, very chill and laid back, loves hanging out with my twin boys and is quite happy to head out on drives with me in the Jeep

    Picture below is Otto with Robert Jnr.

    He's a damn good tonic for depression as well.....

    My other toy, the R53 Cooper S has decided to die today. Bottom end has gone. And we have gay pride oil

    I only have VWs but do think i should try some other stuff - Mini R53 supercharged was one on my list but bad luck Savagasam

    Also like E30s, E34s etc. Maybe something jap but although i can weld I am not that good for one of those haha. VWs seem to just go on the outer areas where as Jap cars seem to want extensive inners rebuilt.

    It’s done 166k so can’t complain. I’ve only serviced it and done the chain at 110k.

    Buggeration!! No wonder you say 1.8T into a Mk2 is easy and you've only used half the weekend [eek]:o

    Damn that's just not on after all your hard work. No way they weren't aware they'd done that.
