What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

VW scene shite spotted today on my travels. But look what's in the background, a C6! French registered and I wanted to get a better pic but The French were sitting in it.

Accidently kept level from a set of lights with a hard charging past its prime Audi S2. (It must have been knackered) I was bringing the oldies back from Southend for a Rossi (Ice cream) and his face on seeing a station wagon whose three passengers combined age totalled 247 years was a picture.

 

Probally akin to my own when I heard my 90 year old Nan say "Don't let him beat you!"

 

You can take your Nan out Romford, but you can't take the Romford out of your Nan!

The bike racing today, no spoilers but fantastic results

[dean36014]

Been having a clearout the last week,a declutter you might say. Bike gear sold, some old hifi stuff sold and I raised nearly 600 quid! Trying hard not to waste it on some old chod and pay the credit card off instead!

Oh and dragged a battered roll cab out the skip at work, a quick clean up and its in the shed as damn useful storage.

A fairly accurate snapshot of any day from last week.

 

My lass and I undertook a 1200 mile round trip to visit her Mum and Dad at their home/B&B in La Vernouille (southboundbandb.co.uk in case you wondered)

 

The Micra didn't miss a beat but it did test the resolve of our asses.

good to see you ootnaboot!

Tis good to be out me duck. The best bit was sharing time with my lass, our careers rarely allow us more than 1.5 days a week together, the Micra gave us 14.25 hours on the outward leg and 12 hours on the return as well as the rest of the week.

 

I think too much time in my company has rubbed off on her (fnarr fnarr..), without prompting she papped this:

Took Kinky Girl for a day out at blists hill victorian town. A bit far at 2 1/2 hours drive, but worth it. Lots of huge things in steam, and I tried my best to make her feel special. For once I didn't balls up a day out.

Rob, I'm starting to worry that you're stalking Clackett Lane Services.

Just been reminded of this, excellent Mansell action https://youtu.be/bmjO-Qd_RVs

Went to collect a car part from someone on a farm and this was on the door step.

Well funky.

Last night on the way home from the Trafford centre I saw a Lamborghini Huracan, and a Skoda Favorit estate....

 

Can you guess which one I pointed out to my wife....

[brownnova]

Oh, and after three weeks of standing the MX5 straight into life at the first turn of the key! Driving it after being away made me grin... Alot!! I really do like this car!!

Those joyful and frankly side-splitting WBAC TV adverts.

It's a wonder I still have any American friends with the visual puns I send their way, really.

It's going to be a gorgeous day again, woke up at 5am too hot

The roads will be a little safer though, as people think about the 5 year sentence just given to a hands free using driver.

Posh shite: driving on Euston Road, an immaculate JRG T-reg 7-series running on LPG with a wealthy- looking woman at the wheel.

Sadly I am not convinced a lot of the drivers I see 'think' much at all, but did have to laugh at the idiot in the Range Rover yesterday who followed my dolomite round the almost 360 degree slip road right up my chuff and gunning to get past my old road block only to be met by a road train of lorrys moving into the outside lane to let me out. I could of speeded up to more than 60mph but I was enjoying the drive so 55 seemed nice and I got to look at the blood boil in the Range Rover drivers face a lot longer.

Did you take it home with you?

[Cavcraft]

Alas not, but when I stroked it it gave me one of those looks Judge Rinder does before he brakes through the sarcasm barrier at the speed of light.

The bravest used car dealer in the world?  A10 Car Sales has a huge lot outside Ely.  They currently have FOUR Mazda RX8s up for grabs.  Given that these things lunch their own engines for fun, this seems like a very odd - or brave - strategy in the era of SOGA and konshumers who "know their rights".  He's had plenty of 'goonas in the past too.

21 deg when I left for work at 8:45* it was supposed to go to 28 but it felt more like 30 odd

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* yes, although I got up early, I was still late for work

Royal Mail.

 

I find it astounding that an item I dropped of at the local post office yesterday around 1:30pm arrived at its destination in what looks like a very remote part of Scotland, a 2 hour drive west of Fort William, before 2pm today. 

 

It's got to have got from here into a London sorting office, then preumably on a train over night, then from the train up there to a regional sorting office, out to a localish delivery centre/post office and then on to a van that was then driven into the wilds down tiny barely surfaced roads and possibly across a ferry. 

And it cost no more than had I posted it to the other side of London.
