Got a C15 very stuck down a country lane. 
HA, LOL, FOEM, these are unstoppable, an Ariel Atom won't get me down here!!!!!!!!1

Was dragged out backwards by Mitsubishi Outlander. 
Entire rear bumper ripped off. 

 

Fuck.

our Micra has a large number of holes drilled in the floor to allow water out .... that works as well

In the early 80's,only posh gits had a drill, I had to make do with a 6" nail & a 2lb hammer to create drain holes in my MK1 Escort footwells!

The afternoon started so promisingly. 

I saw a massive pile of parsnips; suffused with the spirit of Christmas (carbon monoxide poisoning) I decided to smash down a green lane to get some more excellent photos. 
The road quickly turned rough, so I gave myself a run up and tried to turn around to get back on the gravel. 

Fat chance. In the end my unit landlord was nearby and helped pull me out. The mire was so thick it was troubling his lifted Outlander on roided BFGs. 
The van's still driveable, but the tail light cluster fell out over a speed bump as a nimby do-gooder began tailing me across town, accusing me of fly-tipping. 

Hhhhhhhhhhhh.

It sounds like the start of one of those convoluted stories you occasionally see on medical programmes.

 

"And as I approached the pile of parsnips I got really warm due to walking through the deep mud so I decided to strip off as nobody was about. Then I climbed the pile of parsnips but fell over and one went right up my arse"

I did face plant into the berm because it was slippery. I looked like a minstrel. 

A fly tipping minstrel. 

A fly tipping minstrel staring at a fire extinguisher dumped in the canal (dust me clean, with a cleaning spray!)

My local canal has terrapins

[alcyonecorporation]

I was in Eccles and a flaming barge went past once. 

[vulgalour]

Cor, how the other half live.

[Guest Hooli]

Is that the natural habitat of a fire extinguisher? Or are they another invasive species damaging our local ecosystem?

Going through the CCTV as you do occasionally, saw this (apol's for shit picture of a picture). The image was captured a couple of days ago.

Frankly, I'm amazed you didn't get run out of town. Or burnt at the stake.

We have those too, and a proper milkman called Ray The Milky, because we live in 1980.

 

Sadly he drives a Diesel Transit rather than a Unigate W&E milk float powered by Chloride batteries. It’s good, but not quite the same.

Happy Christmas everyone!

 

 

I miss my Pride.

 

 

Alcy, that sounds like a proper C15 adventure.

If that's not on the front of next year's calendar, Autoshite has been abducted by aliens.

I thought you were going to have a moan about your milk being frozen.

I still remember, after SF16, stopping at a services about 30 miles up the motorway because my Xantia had a bit of a death wobble above 60mph.

 

I put the suspension on full height and scraped fuckloads of mud out of the insides of the front wheels. It drove much better afterwards!

Happy Christmas everyone!

 

That dog takes great pride in picking he correct tree. Merry Christmas.

Oh for fuck's sake.

 

 

My own fault, I like to park the car as close to the wall as possible so it's not blocking the front door of the house and just mis-judged it. In perfect dry sunny conditions. Idiot.
