Ooof! The council?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Ha ha ha, U SHUD OV USED A MULTI LAYR STEAL GASGET

[Sigmund Fraud]

Ouch ! How does the head look ?

Apparently, I'm calling up the owner of this van on behalf of the business with a possible view to purchase.  Mike and I nearly rented the house next door to the owner, but the overall condition put us off.  The house was pretty rough too.

 

 

Now viewing at midday on Wednesday.  We shall see what happens.

[dollywobbler]

Time to remove the winter tyres.

 

The Continentals have been very impressive, but they're utterly wasted on a bone dry motorway, which is what I'll be driving down tomorrow. Back to the Michelin Energy tyres that were on it when I bought it.

 

Changing them was no problem, apart from the fact that someone had rattle gunned the offside front wheel up. My breaker bar wouldn't touch them, and my electric impact driver struggled! Not pleased. Needless to say, all the bolts I'd torqued up came undone with no bother at all.

Nah, the Sigmund Fraud/GaryCox 740.

Gaffer did say "that's gone awfully Rover on you". Then told me he's buying a seventh Rover 75 on Monday.

Ouch ! How does the head look ?

Not too grim actually, surprising considering that when we turned the engine on the crank it liberally pissed water out the number one exhaust port.

Stopping overnight on the Isle Of Skye. Had a great drive up on some fantastic roads, through stunning scenery, ive been really lucky with the weather!

 

Stopped en route high up near Glencoe to give the car and I a well earned breather....

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I fucking love seeing the 220 out and about doing stuff. Brilliant!!!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

100% calendar shot

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Just along the road from my house is a roadside vending machine that sells eggs and bacon. I thought it would make a good photo opportunity and I was right.

 

[320touring]

Just back from a wee wander oot the day. Much enjoyed and deffo needed

[phil_lihp]

One 'like' is not enough for that photo, Skye is a stunning location and I'm rather envious that you're travelling around it in that car too.  

[stuboy]

Drove the 2cv up to Oxford to visit sister and family. Both nieces (3 and 6) wanted to play in 2cv which ended in tears for both with one thumping head on door lock and the youngest getting strangled by the steering wheel. Apparently I'm a bad influence:-)

 

Also touched 76mph on the sat nav on the way home!

[Noel Tidybeard]

WHY VOLVO BROKEN?

looks like a 70's blitish reyrand colour chart

well hung..lol

 

 

Diagonal support is on the wrong way....it should always point downwards towards the bottom hinge. This directs the unsupported part of the gates weight into the lower hinge and post.

The gate will sag the way you have it.

I built a fence the other day but it is of poor quality.

No real excuse I was just in a hurry and trying to block the gap at the back of the garden to stop any scroteandie getting in . I shouldn't have bothered rushing as I ran out of wood.

Just along the road from my house is a roadside vending machine that sells eggs and bacon.

 

 

What? That's bonkers. Brilliantly bonkers.

I got more excited but then realised they wouldn't be cooked, and this wasn't quite the greatest thing in the world - some sort of robo-served breakfast. However even raw, that's top ten stuff.

[Richard]

There's one near here that does hot pies, macaroni, bacon rolls and other improbable hot stuff.

[Jim Bell]

How isn't there vending machines that sell eggs and bacon on every road?!

 

That's the best idea ever!

[Pillock]

A hot macaroni vending machine? My mind is boggled!

[vulgalour]

The future is bacon and eggs vended automatically from a wooden shed.  THE FUTURE.

[DodgyBastard]

Bought 2 cars over the weekend, sold none and now have 11 cars...

It's not very good http://news.stv.tv/tayside/251900-fisher-and-donaldson-install-hot-pie-vending-machine-in-st-andrews/

 i thought with hinges on the left, so holds up unhinged side?

[Lacquer Peel]

There are pizza vending machines in Belgium.

[cort16]

In Japan you can get beer. Imagine the carnage here?

[stillOrange]

In Japan you can find a vending machine with anything.

I actually have seen one selling used lady underwear. I really did.

[Inspector Morose]

Happy birthday to me,

Happy birthday to me,

Etc.

 

 

I wonder what I got myself for my birthday as no one else will bother.
