[ruffgeezer]

I want another shite van

[Micrashed]

camera phone pretend to be fiddling

Fuck that, just take the picture, whats the worst they can do?

[eddyramrod]

Nobody said a word about me photographing you and Cherry at the Shell!  Also, not a word was said about the OFS of the Volvo at Kirkham Texaco. 

Reg, I think maybe someone was coming over a bit H&S on yo' ass, bro.  Just use a different garage.

[chaseracer]

I'm liking all of these tat collection live blogs.

TCLBs are the new 'spotted' threads.

 

It's AS evolution... 

[Asimo]

They are taking your picture with their "security cameras" so they can piss right off.

[twosmoke300]

Same sort of bullshit at some Shell stations , not allowed to fill up a motorcycle while your sat on it !!

Car full of passengers is fine though.

Guess who no longer shops at Shell?

That'll hurt em (not)

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

They're great looking cars (or vans), Rover 25s. It's unusual for a face lift to be so much better than the original. 

[Split_Pin]

Good result there. Seems like a power of work has gone into that liitle van, sound like it will do Richard 'Des' Keil sterling service.

 

PLEASE CALL AGAIN.

[fordperv]

We tried to take one but the Sainsburys pez squad announced "NO CAMERAS ON THE FORECOURT" over the tannoy, the helpful twats

I Dont have a problem at stoke sainsburys pez station taking pictures of shite, I think it depends on the type of staff who work there, you probably got a jobsworth

Our local petrol station seems to be a bit 'tannoy happy' too. They seem to delight in scaring the shit out of some hapless old gent/lady with booming echoing announcements.

"Will pump five please step away from the pump, lie on the floor and put the nozzle down, you are surrounded"

Well, actually not really as bad as that, but the tannoy still startles the older folk! Not great.

[Micrashed]

[barefoot]

I got a tannoy bollocking at a Tesco station, apparently, "you are not allowed to deliver petrol whilst barefoot!"

I wasnt delivering it you twat,I was filling my car.

[Mr Livered]

Funny this should come up, I got tannoy-shouted at for the first time ever yesterday, at Whiddon Down service station. I couldn't figure out why it was taking them so long to authorise the pump, then they boomed at me so obviously that was the reason.

 

Apparently it is verboten to use the pumps with the tailgate of your car open (I was filling a jerrycan so took it out of the boot and started filling, leaving the boot open ready to put it back in).

 

It's quite difficult to work out why it matters if your tailgate is open, or you're using a camera, sitting on your bike, etc etc. Bizarre, but I suppose when you give someone a teeny bit of power...

They can tannoy all they like, I is a rebel. And while I'm throwing contempt at the man, Bozo twunts, you can poke your subway rings right up your hole with your extremely long tailpipe, this is how we rove.

 

 

Hit the road today, High Wycombe to swap over an instrument table vandalised by medical practicioners, earning its keep already.

 

 

Loadspace is better than I expected, this is the newest Rover I've ever been in, by about 20 years, it's very good, lively, handles, does all and more than I want of a little van. I'm a firm H8er of all vehicles modern, anything without timber running boards is shit, but I'm finding this van as likeable as anything, I'm even planning on buying a bottle of stardrops to vulgalorise the insides.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Ha! I ignored the tannoy twats as well

 

[Stixy]

Nice  i havent seen one of these before  

 

Is that a bottle of K seal on the bonnet ?

[HillmanImp]

I don't get the infatuation with telling people off for using mobile phones on the forecourt when loads of the signs outside with the price on are transmitters. Plus I can walk down the path 3ft away from the petrol station on the phone and they don't bat an eyelid.

 

I did once get told off for pretending the petrol pump as a microphone and singing 'My Way' after going out clubbing one morning though. He was probably right to suggest I fuck right off for doing that as it was a bit twattish.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Ha! I ignored the tannoy twats as well

 

Let's have the next Shitefest at that petrol station.

They say mobiles may cause a spark  ? but in the real world there worried it will interfere with the pump like cb radio's used too 

[Partridge]

I like tat collection thread-I like it. If I go any distance on a train I always go first class because I'm a snob.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I think there's also an element of 'you're holding a flammable liquid sprayer, please pay attention to that for a moment'.

[Partridge]

I would not like to even try and get a picture, for fear of brandishing a camera making people think I was TERRORIST PEDOPHILE AL QAEDA BUS SPOTTER!

[phil_lihp]

That looks ace, top purchasing there.  When you purchase a white Rover with an engine that Mr_Bo11ox has waved his magic wand over you become a member of a very special club.  Future happiness is assured.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Shit i forgot to wave my wand over it actually!

[Mr Livered]

I should think so too. You can save your magic wand for Mrs_Bo11ox, thank you very much.

[Timewaster]

"It's a public address system!"

[fordperv]

Love the k seal on the bonnet picture, no self respecting k series rover owner should be without a bottle in the glovebox

[dugong]

Next time you should nick the PA and just shout 'KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRkkkkkkkkkkkkkkKKKKK' through it as long as you can. People will think they've missed the end of the message and stop what they're doing even though it never contained anything meaningful in the first place. Then you take your finger off the 'Talk' button and you get another rendition. WHO CAN TELL? 
It's the auditory equivalent of running around the back of a school photo.

 

Either that or you play a test tone through your mobile at full pelt through its speaker against the microphone capsule so you get a squawking riptide of feedback. EEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWWOOOOURRRRPPPPPPPPP PUMP 5 STOP FARTING EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPP GALE FORCE 8. [savvy].

My recording studio in Crewe was the best*, factually and imaginatively speaking at least.

Sadly the little van has failed its MOT, had run out at the end of November and I didn't get around to submitting until today and scored a big fat fail, split CV boot, seven quid and Bennets round the corner have them on the shelf, so after some deliberation I decided to embark on the epic MOT rebuild. An hour later sees the van haring off to Harley Street earning its keep, nice aerial shot from the clinic I trashed.

 

And a night shot as I get my arse out of that horrid shithole London.

[HillmanImp]

Did you give it a bigger set of wabs?
