decided to walk the 6.5 miles into work (could have driven or cycled but thought it'll make a change).
so how walked further?
sure you didn't dream it???
Did you take a wrong turning? not able to read the road signs this time?????
It's people like you that give people like me a bad name
I rang my MD at 7.30 and said I don't mind driving, but don't shout if I twat the car.
Not worth the risk he says, sorted

no, defo real, got the photo of wintry wonderland to prove it, just not got the cable so can't upload it.
i've cycled to work today, the gf's car is in for a service and i let her borrow mine, bloody weather
I should walk to work as its only 3 miles max but its a country lane with no paths. I know how i drive on this lane so fear it is too dangerous to
walk especially in reduced visibility.
6 miles is quite a distance to walk to work though, well done for that.
My locost is my only car at the moment and my workshop is about 6 miles from home.
Have missed the last bus a couple of times and its little interesting walking through bristol in the middle of the night, not to mention bloody cold!

To be honest I see no reason that a 7 couldn't be used all year as an only car, with the proper hood etc. I used my Falcon no stop and in quite terrible weather without difficulty and it's little different from a 7.

Yup that was my shamefully filthy car! In need of a real clean and some TLC :-(
It is missing a front wing, hence my other post regarding black or yellow wings. Nearside front went for an adventure under the nearside rear wheel.
Needless to say it didnt survive! Was going a little quickly at the time!
Do you live in Bristol?

So it's your car I've seen parked on Whiteladies Road then. Was it missing a cycle wing the other day, or did I imagine that?

Yep, I'm at uni here. Was nice to see a locost rather than a caterfield for a change, I stopped and had a look at it. Shame about the wing!

But new ones arrived today so will be all together soon.
Once i have got over the black/yellow dilema!

I used to walk home from school (never to) quite regularly (approx 6 miles) and to (when I started work) the station most of the time.
Then I got a life and realised I could be doing far more interesting things with my time

i walked home from town pissed once, about 4 miles. I just dont like getting ripped off, £10 for a ten minute drive in a taxi.
The longest walk i have done reasonably recently was up in derbyshire around one of the high ridges. Was about a 14mile round trip, 10 of which were
up some rather steep hills. Keeps you fit though

well I ran home (the sort of run tht you just break into when wlaking fast) and the last 200 m were wlked as my legs turned to jelly.
proved to myself I could do it but not something I am going to repeat in a hurry
must have been pretty dehydrated and low on carb 'coz went straight to bed to warm up.
