The Mister likes his motorbikes and cars and we often watch programmes on tv about these things.
Buying and selling, repairing, searching for spare parts ….maybe it’s a male thing ! Anyway, if this is what a tv programmes includes then The Mister watches it.
We have seen several programmes over the past few months about auto jumbles…….like a jumble sale, but for car parts etc …..well, anything to do with bikes and cars.
We went to our first one today. It was in a place called Newark which is about 1 1/2 hours drive from where we live.
We got up early and headed off….id made a packed brunch to keep us going throughout the day ….our experience of these things say that the food and drink is always expensive.
Anyway. The Mister did not buy anything … thats right …did not ….buy anything. Although he was tempted a few times.
It was an enjoyable day …..although he did say he would probably stick to antique fairs ….
What have you done for the first time recently ?

No, that's not a "guy thing". I'm not interested in car or bike parts. I take my car to a garage or to a friend when it needs something done. *shrug* I used to work on my own car but haven't done that in years and years. I'd rather sit and read a book while somebody else gets greasy and nasty.
