What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I think Ken has a bike shed for sale.......in blue......

 

Ya sod, you beat me to it lol.

 

Just make sure you buy the shed and then all will be well as it will actually be able to contain two bikes without having to dismantle them first. I let Mrs PBK sort out the new funky plastic bike shed. That was a huge mistake.

Saw Europe's bravest cab driver earlier here in Warsaw, at the wheel of a Laguna II. Normal service restored 500m later where another Laguna II was parked up on the central reservation, bonnet open.

The dollop was due to be delivered back tonight but has failed to proceed! This makes me happy The damn thing has finally played up while in their care and allowed a small amount of investigation before it started again. It seems they think, that it's the ignition switch box itself that is playing up so it's out and off to be tested/repaired.

 

As the dash is out, I have asked them to repair the clock... I will regret this when the bill comes in!

I'll have a John and a George please....

You don't need to go to Warsaw for that, we have one here in Glossop! 200k+ too...

One of my Flickr contacts snapped the last car my dad ever owned, and it's still local to where we lived.

It's now lived there longer then we did!

This is my photo as they don't allow embedding but other than a dent in the rear three quarter (bah) it looks much the same:

Cycling home from work this evening I was following a Lamborghini Diablo through the centre of Norwich.  I'd forgotten what a mental beast these things were - stupidly low, stupidly wide and with a gorgeous pre-Euro-bollocks V12 snarl.  Much better than an Aventador imho.

Leonard the Poodle after his owner leaves in The Secret Lives of Pets. Cracks me up each and every time.

I did have the Lamborghini poster on my wall as a teenager. Now, a few decades older I think that I'm content with appreciating the aesthetic without the pains of ownership.

[Cavcraft]

I honestly can't look at those Lamborghinis without thinking they're a VW Beetle with several tonnes of Isopon and an ironing board.

Me, Cortinaboy and another friend are taking his blue Marina to the Marina & Ital club Nationals next month in Loughborough, as we need to stay over for the Saturday night i said I'll look into a hotel room for us to share.

 

I've managed to find 3 rooms at a Ramada hotel oddly with twin beds but for only single occupancy for the massive sum of £5 each! The next cheapest room was £60! I'm fully expecting a phonecall in the morning claiming it as computer error but if it does go through then I'll be well happy!

The weekend I got my 944 I was thrashing through Derbyshire and came to up towards Ticknall, I was loving the speed and handling and thought I was king of the road. Then all of a sudden there were lights right up my chuff from nowhere - it was a white countach, I felt properly humbled until we got to the tight T junction which he didn't have enough turning circle to make. I floored it and he didn't catch up again until the 30 zone after swarkestone. I felt proper smug that day.

Social media has its uses. I replied to a post about a job. Went for interview today. Informal type,just general chat. As of Monday I will be driving a new merc sprinter with one of them curved eco roofs for a kitchen manufacturer delivering bits and bobs

[fordperv]

I pass this house quite a bit, I finally remembered to pap a picture, I think whoever lives here is a glutton for punishment

 

[Stanky]

I suspect none of them work, the owner wakes up in the morning, looks out that window - realises that it wasn't just a bad dream and he/she REALLY DOES own two rover 25s and two laguna IIs, cries and goes straight back to bed.

[catsinthewelder]

It could be worse,  my nextdoor neighbour has an LPGed Jeep Cherokee,  Megane 2 and 2 RX8's.

 

3 of them work!

[Pillock]

Clearly multiple MGs and multiple Laguna IIs is merely increasing the chance of finding a working car on any particular day fourfold.

I calculate their chance to be approximately 6.2%

I had a grin today. My company car has been making a sloshing noise on corners and acceleration, which I put down to the fuel tank.

Except it was doing it whether the tank was empty or full. So then I found half a large bottle of spring water stolen from a hotel under the seat, so assumed it was that.

Except I binned that yesterday and it still does it.

 

Turns out the nearside rear door is full of water....

Top news Bub! Nice one mate

[Tamworthbay]

I must print myself some of these

Meeting with boss today. For the first time in 8 years they checked on my internet use for the first time. "you've gotta cut it down she said." "But I only go on Facebook at lunch and at the beginning" I said. "I've monitored the 6 biggest websites you use..... including one for err, auto...". "It's a car forum" I quickly reply. "Well, cut it down, because we want to give you a promotion...."

 

I love you guys and girls, but I need the cash, haha.

 

In all seriousness though, I don't often go on here outside of the before, lunch and end either... sigh

Thanks. Hate being out of work. This could be a good new start

[Sheefag]

Cracking news Bub, well done.

Awesome news! No excuse not to have a Death Burger next time!

 

Are Sprinters still RWD? The one I used to hire drifted like a boss.
