[eddyramrod]

Red car turns beigeman green.  Nice move lads!

[Guest Breadvan72]

The Leaper MUST DIE.  The wheels MUST LIVE.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Just think of the Universe of Wob that lurks beneath the wheel arch TRIMZ.  Verdict: Autoshite Approved Used Vehicle.

[pshome]

We are getting acquainted with 1980s Jaguar electrics in a Little Chef car park.

no, no, that fuel gauge is not broken. Fill tank again to proceed!

[Ghosty]

Nobody's mentioned the foglight/DRL thingies yet. BIN.

[Ghosty]

Also, nice.

[Pillock]

Junkman, what's your thoughts on that number plate passing the UK institution that is an MoT?

Lincolnshire survived. Just.

Full report after tea infusion.

Junkman, what's your thoughts on that number plate passing the UK institution that is an MoT?

[Junkman]

Good luck.  Been a pleasure knowing you.

 

Lincolnshire is full of Renault 16s, apparently...

 

We didn't see any.

[Junkman]

Granadaland Greenhouse Gassers.

 

For the benefit of those who didn't grow up in the UK in or before the 1980s, Granadaland is the region of north west England (where Conrad and Junkman live) that was formerly served by the legendary Granada Television franchise, in the days before television became uniformly mindless crap.

 

Or possibly because Junkman used to have a Ford Granada (fucked, of course).

 

Both.

[Felly Magic]

Has this kollekshunfred changed your views about the flatlands of Lincolnshire?

[Felly Magic]

On the subject of Granadaland, who remembers Granada rental shops? Up until the fairly late 80s, my folks always rented tellies from there, and we always seemed to get the latest tech, got a Nicam stereo and FST telly before any of my mates did

[Junkman]

The GGG is an exclusive club founded by Junkman and Conrad D Conelrad.  Sadly, when they applied to join the club, they were blackballed.

 

 

Since we would never join a club that accepts us as members, we are now members.

I do. I also remember DER, Visionhire, Rediffusion and Radio Rentals. My parents used to rent TVs and VCRs from the latter

You are Groucho Marx AICMFP.

I was scarred for life by the sight of the enormous workman's arse of the Radio Rentals TV guy bent over trying to fix our 70s telly (young' uns, tellies and such used to get fixed back then) one day circa 1974.  I also missed Blue Peter.

[Felly Magic]

They bought a portable telly for my room from Radio Rentals and it had the common decency to blow up 2 days before the guarantee ran out, someone must have set the internal self destruct mechanism incorrectly

[Junkman]

Personally I have nowt whatsoever against Lincolnshire, it and the East Riding being the only counties in England I've never actually visited...

 

That's why.

[Captain Furious]

Up until I was 8 or 9 we still had a black and white TV

 

Then we upgraded to some Rumbelows spec Grundig colour set with the piece of technic lego to tune it in, I learned that George in Rainbow was actually pink and never quite quite got over it.

[Junkman]

Well you're worrying me now!  I'm only a few weeks away from my Sun £9.50 holiday, taking place in Skegness this year.  Will I need armed guards?

 

It's not so much armed guards you need, but a folding travel axe, wooden spike and hammer, something that fires silver bullets

and a post apocalypse zombie response kit sure wouldn't go amiss.

[Junkman]

Homemade number plate, wiper parking on the wrong side of the windscreen, chrome wheelarches. How refreshingly dreadful! Shame it's too late to be a 2.9. 

 

What makes you believe the wiper parks there?

The wiper parks wherever you let go of the switch.

I parked it there, because it annoys me when it's in front of me.

[Junkman]

Quality Tools is quality.  UKIP Councillor-spec leaper may need more hammer and chisel though.

 

You mean hammer and sickle, surely.

[Felly Magic]

We used to holiday regularly in the East Lindsay district, Mablethorpe & Skegvegas/Ingoldmells, and we regularly went to watch banger racing at the stadium, Mablethorpe is almost a ghost town these days

[Skizzer]

I'm sensing Junkman may not have entirely bonded with Lincolnshire.

 

Did Conrad make it out alive?

[Captain Furious]

I've been to 'Skeggeh' and Mablethorpe in recent years and find it's great if you like Karaoke and Bingo.

 

If you don't you're pretty much screwed.

[Noel Tidybeard]
