Photo-a-Day  (Monday, 23rd June, 2025)

Someone with too much spare money, perhaps pride and joy.
You would have to keep it in a shed most of the year.

It is the car to which you refer is it Dennis !!

Dennis you’re a very naughty boy.
Of course she’s a little cracker and someone’s pride and joy, but that aside, what do you have to say about the car!

She’s a little cracker alright, and the car’s not bad either!

mick, where do you keep your expensive bicycle that most of us could never afford? Must be nice to have enough money to spare for one

Awww, thanks, lads.....I had no idea I was on camera! (Actually I am the old lady who was having tests at Wigan Infirmary at the time, but one can dream!)

What car?

Now then Dennis that started it’s life as a Volkswagen 4 July 1973 and I would have liked to have gone to that show as just up my street but was taken out for Father’s Day to the Flight Club then The Alchemist BUT sorry to miss the show so close to home.

Looks like an overgrown frog to me....but then what do I know about cars ?!

I wonder how many of these designer buggies ever see the sandy beaches?

How can that lady with the long legs up to her armpits fit in that squashed up car!? Mind you I wouldn’t mind a little squashed up car it would be just my fit….( if it was free).
But just one thing my eyes are not up to driving in the dark.

Nice headlamps .

Freddie I keep the bike in one of my garages, I have two, one on the left and one on the right of my 4 bedroom detached house.

I didn’t notice the lady, I must be getting old……albeit she will sail through an MOT no problem.

I CANT BELIEVE SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT ARE BEING SAID ABOUT THIS LADY.

I heard that Noddy had to surrender his licence to the DVLA recently on health grounds … and Big Ears got nicked for drink driving a couple of weeks back … I saw it on the ten o’ clock news , …so there might be a little squashed car going cheap there Veebs .
Just keep looking in Autotrader , and I’ll give you a flash if I see you coming up the A6 near Chequerbent .

And no , not that kind of flash .

Dirty minded buggers !

Edward, My joke about pretending the young lady was me, ( therefore wishing I was young again), was just a bit of fun, and I'm certain no-one on here took it as anything but a joke. Most people on photo-a-day are decent people and no-one meant any harm. If that bonny, attractive young lady sees the photo and the comments I'm she will realise that. Sadly we now live in a world where we are frightened to even pay a compliment in case we upset someone.

Ozy, nowt wrong with complimentary remarks, I can't see anything wrong with the comments and I'll wager this young lady is really chuffed being the star attraction.

Irene I hope all your tests went well and are you due to go to any classic car shows in the near future with Dorothy.

There’s nothing but admiration been said about the lady in the PAD.

I can’t believe the comment from
“Edward”!, who’s Edward?

Errr , sorry Wigginlad … sure you’re not confusing me with someone else ?

It would be totally out of character for me to hand out complimentary remarks .

I’m the bloke that normally appears late on slagging everyone and everything off … remember ?

There’s obviously been some kind of breakdown in communication here it would appear .

Thankyou John, (Howfen). It has been a worrying time recently but I THINK all is well. I was amazed to get an appointment for tests at Wigan Infirmary on a Sunday and had to check the letter twice to make sure it said Sunday! It was a doddle , actually, because I was in the ultrasound dept. about 10 minutes early, the place was empty and I was called straight in, no waiting. It would only be difficult if a patient had no choice but to go on the bus, due to Sunday Bus Services. We are keeping our eyes open for local Classic Car shows. Veronica, going off your earlier comment about fitting into a car, Our Jamie once had an MG, and it was a nightmare! It was so low I couldn't get in, (and I was only in my forties then!), and when I DID get in it was so low it was like riding on a tin tray, ... And then I couldn't get out and all the family and neighbours were helpless with laughter...... Never again!

I know what you mean Irene with these near to the floor cars. When I bought my X1/9 it was easy. Nowadays I let my son drive me, getting into is fairly easy, drop into the seat but need to be hauled out
There is one advantage though, these older cars do not need MOT or road tax.

That’s good Irene.

I think Edward is a very very close relative to Mick say no more.

Great minds an’all that a John.
Irene it would be like riding the dodgems at Wigan Fair.

That’s good Irene.

I think Edward is a very very close relative to Mick say no more.

One whole garage just for a bike? I’m impressed Mick. Luxury! You could have a family of homeless people in there. Think of the rent you could be getting.
I wouldn’t report you to the Parish Council Mick…. honest I wouldn’t.

Mick you must spend 2 days cleaning with a house that size.
