What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[andy18s]

The owner probably parked it in there due to the high number of thefts of old ford's

[Mr A Lawrence]

Yep, albeit a lapsed one.

The way my team is playing we'll be playing in your league soon.

[forddeliveryboy]

Erm no. I'm going to clean up the outside and see if it has any oil in it. If it does I'll see if it turns on the crank handle.

 

Fingers crossed it does - was it stored outside or in?

By the look of it outside as a home for spiders. But if it's kept oil tight it may be ok - just depends what went down the carb rain wise! It's still got a purflux filter on it. Will take some photos when I get it out of the car boot!

[Sheefag]

Same here, I think you're about 5 mins away.

[richardmorris]

Let me know if you are stuck for help. You're only 20-25 mins from my work so I could pop over before work one morning, or after one evening if needs be.

 

 

Thanks - am going to try and enlist Dad's help when they stay with me tonight after they arrive in Gatwick. It went in ok but that was gravity assisted - it's the boot lip that's the problem if it was flat like the cx it would be easy.

I have decidedly green fingers so having a garden is a Big Deal for me.  It really helps with keeping my mind healthy and gives me a good physical workout lately with all the manual labour required.  There's a lot of complimentary remarks being made about it too which is its own reward.  I have funny little milestones with a garden and one of those is having enough healthy flowering plants to bring some cut flowers into the house without having obviously taken any from the garden.

 

 

Hydrangea (which seems to have been flowering non-stop since May), Crocosmia/Montbretia and a stunning dark red hybrid tea rose the looks like it's made of velvet.  I feel really settled and comfortable and happy, it hardly seems possible that things were so bad so recently.

I don't enjoy gardening but like good gardens, particularly the aromas from roses (old-fashioned strains are best), wallflowers, primroses, violets.....I'm definitely a flower sniffer  .

Mrs V8 and the kids have gone camping lol.

So using my time wisely being on my own Big-trak came out to play.

Priuses are part of the Gay Agenda, silently and pretentiously taking over your neighbourhoods, reducing the number of petrol stations and helping to gentrify areas by being the first push for all those handmade candle shops and confusing soap boutiques.  Oh yes, page 4, section 6 tells you all you need to know about the Prius and it's role in the building of the FAAAABULOUS~ empire.

[Cheggers]

One of the urinals slapped me for "looking at it funny"

For what it's worth, with all the chelping over the past few weeks over what Autoshite is, was, wasn't and will never be; I'd like to state that the front page has a fucking Rancho collection thread, a Kia Shuma getting prettied up, a brown Allegro VP, A Renner Twenty without ISIS, various Jaaaags and a Rover 600. No bangernomics there, just quality choddage and long may it continue.

 

(Just thought I'd point this out as every 3.7 weeks when we have the "bah it's shit it's shit it's all shit" it's always pointed out that nobody ever points out when there's good content)

I shall point out I've been doing my bit today. Gave the 21yr old 316 a good service then a good seeing-to afterwards. Still got a good warm glow going from all that.

[Pillock]

Oh aye, it wasn't an exhaustive list, it just made me realise that I couldn't keep up with all the quality threads!

[brownnova]

Thank goodness for free WiFi and autoshite when one is waiting for a fight!!

[ShiteRider]

Off work sick, so have spent the day catching up on old/missed threads.

Biggest grin though is olympic womens hockey. Watching the gb-nz game now......not one would escape me unpregnant.

[hairnet]

the 5-0 have taken so long to process a ticket theyve cancelled it

 

WOOT

 

so instead of paying for ticket - visit friend and talk croatia holiday plans while eating brekky on sunday

[Slappy]

They build them tough those hockey girls too. My (female) housemate is a big hockeyist and would quite like to get to know local lass Alex Danson a bit better apparently

 OMFG!

It's one of those times when I didn't have my camera to hand to photograph the shonkyness of it, but on the Lawrence Hill roundabout in Bristol, Tuesday at 4:10pm: an utterly clatty blue 04-reg Daewoo Matiz being enthusiastically driven, with an 8-inch-long rust patch at the back of the sill, and a 6-inch hole in the centre of the rust patch surrounded by the yellow crayon-of-death!

I hope my Rover doesn't count as bangernomics, on account of me already spending 50% of the purchase price on repairs and upkeep. 89999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999iikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkki8888888888

Naaah, a 600 is proper AS material.... Plus I can't imagine you fitting scrapyard brake pads to it.

I feel guilty enough fitting a part-worn tyre to it. Will be chucking a full set of something decent on it if I decide it's a keeper. Possibly on a set of steelies so I can go back to a decent bloody sidewall profile.

[beko1987]

I treat myself to some tools, they just arrived!

 

 

After rounding off a brake pipe Union on the zx and just getting it nipped up with mole grips I didn't fancy doing that with an lhm pipe...

[alf892]

Just insured my pickup............60 quid for year!!........only 3000 miles but that should easily cover the little bit of running about I'll do.

 

Same people quoted 87 earlier in the year and I was happy enough at that.
