Well done! You and Bucketeer can hitchhike together back to UK Shitefest 2017!

 

I haven't got a passport, so give us plenty of warning before organizing international SF17 please!

0.25% interest rates - Glad I didn't remortgage and fix it a few months ago when I was planning

 

For once my tardiness may have actually paid off..slightly

I have just been out for a walk, not only with THREE dogs, but a woman of the female variety! School teacher I have had the hots for (secretly) for about a year. She is nice, pretty, thin, likes dogs.... what's not to like?

 

She don't like cars!

 

Sob... sob!

 

Oh yes, it was all going so well until my crippled side decided to show itself with force and I fell over, not really the impression you want to give that of 'stunt cripple' to the unwary. I'd just got her seriously pricked as well... getting Phoebe's ball back out of a bush, nothing more interesting!

People who don't like cars, and especially people who don't understand cars, can be great.  As long as it will get you both from A to B as required, you can generally tell them anything and they'll believe it.

"Oh it's meant to sound like that" 

"It's very rare they don't make them anymore"

"All convertibles leak"

" Yes you often get bits falling off"

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.

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

[fordperv]

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

 

[Richard]

I believe Sealtainn is already in Bulgaria too.

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).

[purplebargeken]

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!

Spotting the famous Autoshite Sierra in Classic Car Weekly this week!

[JohnDeere]

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...

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.

Erm... is there something we need to know, Dan?  Have you made sure to delete your search history?

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.
