I haven't been added anything for a while because of the stinking weather here at the moment. The wind and rain here has been going on for nearly two weeks now so can't do a thing more to PTH and the Internet here is absolutely appalling to start with :rolls:
One thing I question about the forum is why does it seem to be just us few regulars that comment and update here when there's apparently nearly two thousand members on here :crazy:
Is there even that many Marinas on the road :lol:

Standard for this time of year really, it's cold wet dark and 'orrible, there's no shows on, everyone's cars are tucked up for the winter and can't be bothered rules. Well, it does here anyway!

You'd think people would have more time in front of there laptop/tablet/phone to post then?
Though this forum is mostly car related. Not much chatting on non car stuff like some forums I frequent.

My excuse is lack of interest in life in general at the moment. Divorce and shit health does that to you :)

Must admit I tend to use faceache for posting drivel, but other than buying Lenny the LDV I've not done anything to talk about in non- Marina life either :lol:

Tiz the season to be demotivated...

Come on Dave, chin up, could be worse, you could own a Minor! ;)

Weather does have a lot to do with it, rubbish weather so no garage action, hence nothing to report. Although it may help if I concentrated on one car, and not keep buying more shit heaps. But there does seem generally less banter. Interests change, people move on I guess.

David - the stress of one problem makes you susceptible to the other.

I've just started working full time so haven't had much spare time to come on here or do anything with the cars recently (including driving them :( ). House is nearly sorted out now though so will hopefully have my weekends free to mess around a bit more...
