What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

This is my friend's racing car.

 

Does he live in Scarborough, by any chance?

[vulgalour]

No, he lives in Lincolnshire.

Not sure if it's a grin or not but I saw a 'proper' rusty car today. I at first thought the door was just dodgy but the rear arch had completely disappeared by the rear bumper too. I thought these Civics were meant to be fairly resilient, but there we go.

Fair enough.

Just I was in Scarbados collecting some trailer ramps and the seller had amongst other things, an MGF track car that looked a lot like this one.

Although I can't recall the specifics.

 

Given that the owner also owns a Formula Ford, and seems handy behind the wheel, I thought I'd ask!

There's a discussion about comedy going on in 'The Grumpy Old Men' thread.

Narcos on Netflix is pretty good and there are loads of clean looking 80's shitboxes to be seen.

That's the kind of talk that got Keith Vaz into bother.

They really aren't, they do like to rot. Rear arches in particular. 

One of our old ones had the sills bodged with a dremel for a grinder and some fibreglass by Old Man not long before he sold it.

On the way home from work in St. Albans this afternoon and saw a bloody minty mint 2CV buzzing along in the opposite direction. Bright yellow and looked gorgeous.

[purplebargeken]

Fuck it. Just lobbed a bid on something silver, French and fairly local to me. 

 

Bollocks to it

Been taken to the pub because birthday, and a surprise game of cat piss tarp challenge appeared!

Well the white thing I can tell. (Reliant SS1), not sure on the red

[Stanky]

Is the red thing a Ginetta G4?

[beko1987]

The white one is a scimitar, no idea what the red one is.

 

Ive had 4 spitfires now, so went over

[beko1987]

Doubt it, apparently they've been there years. Their in Crowle, the next village along from chinnor (sf16 railway location).

A cross between a Chevy Blazer and a Camero.
