fordperv Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Was at the gym earlier and a lad I went to college with who I had a lot to do with his old man as he was a proper old school mechanic we knew (got to know his son by accident) he walked in with his dad, why did this make me grin I hear you cry, the last time I saw the lad and asked about his old man he told me he was ok physically but is battling with dementia, when I went to say hello his face lit up started laughing and smiling gave me a huge hug then pulled a couple of spanners out of his coat pocket fiddling with them as he was talking to me, his lad said do you remember him to which his reply was "How could I forget him" him and his lad didn't stop beaming It made my day purplebargeken, danthecapriman, dome and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Went to a Naturopath earlier - basically doing a favour for a mate who had a class of students who needed a student to work on. Was kind of fun, especially the libido section where I think I came across like an early sixties Leslie Phillips. Ding Dong! But even better than that, on the way back to Kings Cross Station, I found this rotting on a side street - a muthaflippin Mitsuoka Viewt! Bit decrepit though, prime fodder for Euston Films to mangle in the lamest Sweeney car chase ever. "Hello, Mitsuoka-San? Yeah cool, listen dude I was wondering if you could build me a Jag mark 2 out of a Micra?" "Sure bitch, no problem. You want the authentic Jag interior? It's the real deal my man and looks just like a real Jag!" "Yeah bwooooooy, that sounds muthaflippin sweet, put me down for some of that olde world wood shizzle!" "You got it homey! Ready Tuesday!" (Because Japanese engineers and their customers have all watched "White men can't jump" a heck of a lot) Exiled_Tat_Gatherer, vulgalour, brandersnatch and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 A quick, easy sale of my Avensis daily happened today. After some poor part-ex valuations at Mazda and Toyota main dealers ranging from £2400-3150 I found a local trader who said he'd give me £3400 as a straight purchase. Haven't got the time/inclination to sell it myself, just needed it gone but not so badly as to be ripped-off. Trader popped the money straight into my bank this morning and collected it promptly. More excitingly, this means that the Camry is temporarily promoted back up to daily driver duties. I'd been using it more frequently anyway to keep the miles down on the Avensis (and avoid damage to it in last week's snow) and it's as enjoyable to drive as ever. Camry snowplough by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Whilst doing the rounds of various garages looking for my new daily I found this beauty at Brayley in Milton Keynes: 1995 Mazda MX-3 V6 by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Much excitement when I saw this recently: 1993 Toyota Camry 2.2 GL Auto Estate by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Had a chat with the owner, he'd only just bought it from Oxford and sounds like he's as keen on them as me (said he's owned a couple of other Camrys beforehand). I should have some bits to help him out. RobT, wuvvum, Datsuncog and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
