I got a message from Cros the other day (where the Triumph came from) saying he had found the spare keys and could he have my address.

Keys arrived so a spare set in the drawer.

What a top man sending them on, Cheers.

Well,to follow this up the 1st person to view had a good couple of hours nosing around the place,and playing with the dogs....

Then put in an offer for our full asking price,with a mortgage in place as well.....

So it's sold stc....looks like I'm off to Bulgaria before long then

 

Ok. So, one Autoshiter is already in Bulgaria, and now others are following? Are we trying to take over an entire country now?

Some days I love my job, getting to just go to places like Rudyard lake when we get chance just because we can, so that's what I've done this afternoon

Can we get Eddy's Cadillac or Dan's Mercury and recreate some of the videos from "World's Wildest Police Chases" (WARNING: This may involve lots of ramming, battering and shouting obscenities in a very strong Southern accent).

I will buy a fishing net on a stick thing or reverse in. Either will do.

When you say southern accent, do you mean Cornwall?

That depends on whether Ken can do a decent impression of that guy from the Kelly's ice cream advert.

 

EDIT: Has you got any pictures Ken? I love 90s Yank motors.

I think BTB was kind of setting up to do this himself when he bought the AS Oldsmanmobile.  My car is now too far away from Ken's to take part, but Dan may be within reach.  I can't see him being all Hooper in it though!

 

Brodders: just for the man who likes 90s Yanks...

All of these were mine at various times; all FWD V6 auto, and the last one is Ken's copcar before it got liveried!

Had the godsprogs visiting at the weekend, aged 11 and 13. Treated them to a spin in the Visa - they were very excited to be in such an "old" car.

 

First, godsprog2 taps the ever-so-slightly padded vinyl slab of fascia in front of the passenger and asks, "is that where the airbag is?"

 

Second, both are immensely excited to be in the back of a car sans seatbelts (admittedly we didn't go far). That act of brazen rebellion and daring was the highlight for them,

 

My explanation of a manual choke was lost on them though...

I think this t-shirt is a reasonable representation of forum life at the moment:

This sounds like fun!

I'll stick an oil drum in the trunk for running my illegal moonshine. Though I'm not too keen on giving the Mercury much stick, it's still running in. Plus she don't handle too well, as I found the other day. Clean underpants required!

Being beaten with a nightstick and cuffed, or even shot at is fine with me though.

 

We could make some funny vids with these cars...

I'm desperately trying to find a big estate to go to France at 5 o'clock on Monday. Every sub £500 940, E-Class, Scorpio or Omega is either completely knackered, sold or in the case of a 940LPT on Volvo owners forum , the owner doesn't want to sell.

Wrong thread, you might think.

But, no! I've found a large 1990 estate in a posh part of that London that's been owned by the seller for 20 years.

Spoke to him this evening and he's a 70 year old Yank that spends half the year back home and sounds like he throws money at it, although he also sounds a bit mental!

He's got it booked in for an MOT at 10.00 tomorrow and I'm going to see it after a job to Heathrow tomorrow afternoon.

Not telling what it is, save that for collection thread guessing.

I wish!

If I could find anything Septic ( not some half arsed Neon or Part Time Kroozer) for a few hundred quid , it would be sitting on my drive now.

At least I am not the only one who thought we had a contender for the double entendre thread.

Last night I had a beer made in Grantham, ostensibly by a lady. Unusually the label features a drawing of girl with tits nearly oot for the lads, and the flavour I had was 'aromantica'. Not bad, a bit like Oakham's 'Citra' with added incense. Says on the back of the bottle 'imbibe from a furry cup'. No it doesn't.

Just had new hearing aids tuned & installed by a very fit audiologist, whose voice I could have listened to for a very long time.  I'd forgotten how NOISY the world is!
