Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Back in my day ........ OK just for laughs, this is what happened to me just over 30yrs ago.

Spent a lovely 3 day weekend at a South Wales American Car Show. One day for cruising, one for chatting and meeting folk, and day three was public day, and judging and prizes. Came home with 'Best Firebird in South Wales'.

Two days later the car started to smell funny when driving, a very oily smell, but only when hot. Couldn't find any leaks under the hood. Get home, and me and Dad are walking around the car sniffing away, but still can't find any leaks. Then dad finds an empty plastic bottle in the corner of the drive behind his car trailer.

It was an empty bottle of brake fluid!

We start looking at the car bodywork and notice some weird spots. Rubbed my finger over one and removed everything, paint, filler the lot, just shiny metal looking back at me. Sadly this was all over the car and one side each of my mum and dads cars from splashing. Needed a complete new paint job, and we couldn't source a replacement 'Screaming Chicken' transfer for the bonnet. I still have the damaged original hanging on a wall in the house.
