Prince Charles and Lady Di and get an ex girlfriend to come as Camilla?

And one of her ex's could come as Will Carling. Or James Hewitt.

[trigger]

Cheers guys! Dempsey and Makepeace looks tempting, My wife's now talking about me dressing up as a rabbit and going as Roger Rabbit!

[gearoil]

Trigger - what about Herr Flick and Helga from Allo Allo...?

 

Also, plasma cutters - brilliant

Whilst I was waiting at the traffic lights on the way back from work on friday (Leach highway/High Road intersection - for those few that know Perth) a purple-bodykitted mitsubishi lancer (the rest of the car was snot green) - I suppose 1995 or so with the inevitable P-plate new driver badge in the rear window, drew up alongside me containing two kids. Think of the tackiest car in the world, and you'd be nowhere near close.... With a fairly ineffectual screech of rubber and a cry of "That Volvo is piece of Sh*t" they were off........only to be pulled over a couple of kms down the road by an unmarked policecar for speeding. I gave the horn a cheerful toot on my way past and continued with a happy heart

That Calibra is nuts Billy!!

This made me smile.What a cool customer with his P plates that his mum made him put on the car.

To be fair, I think P plates are compulsory in Oz. Still very funny though! I must admit, there have been times where I've revved up at a set of traffic lights when something a bit hot pulls up alongside - only to then pull away quite normally when the lights change.Oh and 100 pages of grin - that's worth grinning about!

I love doing that and watching some tosser in a flash car sprint off like he/she are in some sort of time trial.'Rev and run' was another old favourite where basically you rev your car up when people are crossing the road at traffic lights and see if they shit themselves and leg it. Not big or clever, and not to be done to kids and OAPs etc but it could be quite funny.

Getting the Orion to run after an 18 month lay up, with what I assumed was a bent valve..........I was wrong

[Cavcraft]

Dave makes me grin. Opens boxes of cat food, gets a pouch in his mouth then pegs it somewhere quiet to chew it open and eat the contents.

Getting the driveway to look like this was quite pleasing:

 

 

As it meant I had a good chunk of a day with decent weather spent on cars. Very rare as such a day will usually be spent cutting down conifer hedges (itself quite a satisfying job) or doing house-stuff.

 

Primera and Camry Sport got cleaned, the Laurel had its battery reconnected, I filled the drained-down cooling system back up and fired it up (went first turn, after I'd turned it over for a bit with no choke to get a bit of oil moving around) then took it for a quick trundle up the track. Just needs tax to start being used again. And the Camry estate is back gracing my driveway, which I like as it remains one of my best-ever cars. It still runs, so that got taken for a quick drive too - its ride is massively better than either the Primera's or other Camry's, I could hurtle through the potholes on the track without a care. Made me realise what a fantastic real-world car it really is.

Took the viscous fan off the BMW today.Getting the cowling off was quite involved and also the whacking the fan spanner wouldn't budge it.Aren't air chisels wonderful things,a quick blat with that on the nut and it's loose.Haha.The bearing was comprehensively shagged so a phone round the local scrappies was on order.Not a single six cylinder Beemer in the area,oh well.Now a few months back I fitted a new waterpump to the Discovery and that had a left hand thread on the fan....I wonder...Off I go to my mates shed where there is a 300TDi engine in bits.I found the waterpump and my fan fits..Yippee..Couldn't find the fan though but hang on maybe it's in the storage caravan.YES.All back together and no vibration but I had to move some clips around as the Land Rover fan runs closer to the engine..I'm happy now.No vibration and fixed for free.

I have managed to borrow a colossal spanner to help me get the nut off the 1st motion shaft in the Landcrab. Now I dont have to spend £25 buying a socket. Woo hoo!

[brammy777]

Went back to Fleet today and got that picture! Youll see it once I upload it.Also, a Sunny I missed the other week because it just drove off weirdly just appeared outside my college today, 10 miles from where I saw it. I really enjoyed maths today as well, calculus sounded pretty dreadful to begin with but suprisingly simple once you are told how to do it.

[Rusty Pelican]

Managed to find some bits at work to fix my borked alternator , FREECavette , your cat is one clever puss , Chloe my cat just stares at the box and whines continually untill i give in

Selling the Micra for asking price to a guy who got the train over from Manchester! I hope it gives him the same sterling service it gave me! NO MOAR BELL ENDS MAKING SHIT OFFERS!!!!!!

[brammy777]

Fairly sure an old woman saw me take the front shot, but oh well, Ill never be round that area again.

Attatching a secondhand Mondeo battery to my new shite and it starting up first turn of the key after being left standing for a year! Yay!!!!

[The Liberator]

Yesterday I took the 'sud out for a drive for the first time this year, had forgotten how much fun driving can be. Plus bonus spots of an Alfa 2600 Spider, a Fiat 130 coupe hoovering up the world's oil reserves in a traffic jam on the North Circular, and later on, a rwd Corolla saloon.
