I’m slowly cornering the market in giffer tat with the Corolla.

I've just been going through the history folder which accompanied the 164 and found this, printed the same year I was born.

That converter is pretty clever, although I doubt the fuel converter goes up to the £6 per gallon required now!

Going to see if she notices and how much trouble I'll be in.

I bought a Neverbeen sticker, was going to put it on one of mine but decided I'm not the sort who puts stickers on my cars, especially when people already think you are a wanker because of badge snobbery. 

So it's going off my wife's super-efficient but otherwise lowly and boring VAG puss.

I haven't told her...

The arm rest on the celica was a tad low and hard plastic.  Et voila and a handy ebay cushion. Elastic straps fitted in seconds. Now arm rest at nice height and comfy.

Seen quite a few Van's with these (or variations of these) over the last few years.

Giffer alert. Lidl had those lovely sheepskin seat covers in again today. £15 each.

Still in its plastic.  Can't deny I wasn't tempted since this would be highly appropriate for the Princess... but I bought something else with my pocket money instead that I'll get more use out of.

 

Cheap Argenta brochure (in foreign) seemed an interesting thing too.

Not sure if we have had it but it's a new one on me.

Picasso in at work today with a device glued to the inside of the fuel flap that once you open the flap audibly warns you.....

DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG!!!

WARNING!!! DIESEL. REMEMBER DIESEL!!!!!

DING DONG DING DONG.

Had us in stitches it was so stupid.

Funny thing is the car has been owned by the same person for the past 6 years and we service and mot it every year and the device has never been there before.

Bizzare!

Guess there may have been an ‘incident’ this year perhaps? Would be fun to fit those to petrol cars and see if Pavlov was right......

A work colleague gave me little gem today, one of the many benefits of my reputation as a collector of utter crap.

I might fit it to the Corolla for a laugh, once I figure out what wires are what.

(The old strepsils tin is still used for throat lozenge storage)

Edit: eBay to the rescue!

Most excellent ? I remember having a Matsui (curry's own brand) one of those in my 1.3L mk3 escort, with an XR3i steering wheel. Thought I was the bollox ??

Remember when these were a thing?  That means you're old.

Shame it's a modern number, otherwise this could be a great excuse for @barrett to get himself an MoT exempt* recovery truck.
