Apart from the bits that rot like fuck 

I think we've just agreed to buy one off a customer.. 🤯 

Ahh old pass it Penrose

I’ve always wondered why mx5 alternators always seem to seize up . 
I know alot don’t get used in winter etc but I can’t think of any other car I’ve changed a seized one on in the last 20 yrs .
They must have water dripping on them or something . 

Iron bru

Back in the eighties I worked at a provincial Fiat dealership. Back then pretty everything Fiat made was dynamically superior to the equivalent Ford…. Build quality, on the other hand…..😱

Thank you so much, I really feel it's important to tell it as it happens, warts and all. It certainly almost never goes according to plan but I'm not one to hide the fuckups and failures as it makes for a pretty dull thread otherwise.
Thankfully @twosmoke300has been absolutely phenomenal with his advice and obscure knowledge, otherwise I'd still be curled up in a corner of the room sobbing 😅
 

Nah.
You're just going over to mumsnet and making stuff up based on a cocktail of their latest topics.
There's no way one person's life is so full of drama and sheer fucking stupidity.

The 1994-98 Ford Scorpio is quite stylish.

No, but definitely will be known to the Police.

You go steady

Thought you had work yesterday 🤣

We're really looking forwards to this - it's a lovely part of the world! (Put it this way, we live in the Snowdonia national park, and Shropshire is our go-to place for a weekend away).

Well the loo is booked and paid for so I should probably think about ordering something else.
Telford Steam Railway are open to the public on Sundays at the moment but I could ask how much it would cost to run us a train on the Saturday, perhaps with the North British built shunter (the most Autoshite of diesels).

Something about that strikes me as odd, I've seen it countless times before posted under the guise of different police forces/traffic squads etc

Enquired about 2 birds needing rescuing yesterday 

Off to see them tomorrow after work 🥰🥰 
It ticked some boxes, the house is so lonely and quiet without Phoenix and the outside cage will soon start to fall apart if I just ignore it another 6 months. Did (and do still) fancy a pair of white doves, but the advert above got Wafted my way and budgies were on the list! 
A pair was key as I did feel phoenix wasn't terribly happy on his own, and 2 females which is good as 2 males can fight as they age, and 1 of each will be eggs and babies and I don't want that. 
The lady at the service said if I like them tomorrow bring something to get them home in so I've taken that as a sign to reassemble the cage after sloshing a small bit of rust converter here and there right at the bottom

And realised I can fit 4 wheels from a scrap hoover base mega easily so it won't be such a massive wanker to drag out for cleaning (which I didn't do as often as I should...)
