Yeah it's more of a digger park these days. These guys are normally out and about fixing the munted roads during the day, but got the day off today. The word is a flash new Mobil will be back some time.

Cool. I wonder if it's with the original occupant (and the grumpy prick in the workshop?)

Yep, same owner. No workshop anymore apparently but will still do oil changes and WoF's. Will have a cafe in store instead of a mechanics area so the word goes. Paul (your grumpy mate) has a new job.

Yeah I always found him OK ... so long as you weren't in a hurry ... 'cos he never was ... especially doing a WoF on a Sat morning ... he didn't like bending down with a hangover

He was/is a Motorcycle rider as well, he used to have a GSX1100 then got shot of that and bought something else which I can't quite remember

He went to a VTR1000 but lost that in a marriage breakup, then had a Virago to tide him over until he could get something better again. He still had the Virago when the garage got munted in September.

Yep the horrible stuff is still here too, it's -4 at the moment - I predict a happy time for the panel beaters and painters. Just another day of working from home for me, but I'll make some time to clear the snow from the paths later.
