chaseracer Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I have operated a Triumph Mayflower and they are a runty cuntlet of a car. The gear lever, however, is delightful. A slender chromium plated shaft with a lovely bakelite knob, it's a well known fact that this item alone cost as much to produce as two Kia Picantos. There's no better choice of motor car if you wish to shun all further human contact. Angrydicky, Cavcraft, Junkman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 As we already have a quote thread of sorts how about turning this into Autoshite Good, Bad & Ugly where snippets of Rapier wit and faint Acclaim can be added to. Obviously it should be car-related only so that it does not slide to The Other Side.... eddyramrod and tinribs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC Rebel Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yoss on the netflix thread - strictly speaking still in 2017 but we need a 2018 quotes thread I learnt all my history from Iron Maiden and Asterix). You only realise at the end of the book then when you read it again you see more and more references.I don't think that's a spoiler alert if you're thinking of reading it. I recommend starting with Iron Maiden. Yoss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Des in the SQA making me ruin another keyboardAngle grinders with speed control, albeit crude ones, are ten a penny these days from the likes of Lidl, for all your dizzy driving needs, coupling wise, you could try finding a big nut for the grinders spindle and a short length of radiator hose and clips, should be just up to the job if both items are supported but would hopefully release when the whole ballyhoo tears off on a nom nom trashing spree chasing you round your gaf while you scrabble to pull the main fuse. Maybe sit the dizzy in the top of an axle stand, poke the grinder in through a side and keep your boot on it, carry out a risk assessment and I'm sure it will be fine. chodweaver and Sigmund Fraud 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Clearly these are quite rare and demand quite a bit of fuss. 300hp through a viscous AWD system and the Chocotronic gearbox would probably exercise your sphincter to the point where it could crimp off a marble worktop.

AMC Rebel Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm amazed I wasn't throttled by the harrassed staff at our local Texas. My dad would only have popped in for five litres of white emulsion, yet I would be all over the doorbell board like Rick Wakeman after freebasing a load of PCP. Forget Roland, Moog or Casio.
