What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[catsinthewelder]

Anyone remember an alternate BL thread from a few years back when Hirst came up with a Jag badged Dolomite called the Trevor?

Is that hole in the bonnet in case you get caught short or like camping?

I'm ashamed to say that did actually make me lol.

They must have been feeling flush to get the bodywork done

[vulgalour]

Shame the paintwork isn't fancier, then you could call it the cistern chapel.

Good lad! That used to be me & two other mates in Mk2 Escorts & later XR4is.

I happened across this on Sunday

It wasn't there last time I was in town, about 30 years ago.

I'm so glad I stuck at it and didn't get rid...

[inconsistant]

No wonder mum's gone to Iceland, look what I just spotted in their adult meals aisle:

 

[vulgalour]

Going to attempt the first shopping trip in the Princess.  Suspension still sitting up, battery holding a charge (and alternator charging), all systems as normal as they ever are.  Got my emergency toolkit in the boot, AA card in my wallet and a round trip of about 8 miles in mixed traffic.

 

This is not a big adventure, but weirdly it feels like it.

God speed.

And bring me back some doughnuts!

Mission completed!  In rush hour traffic too.

Truly jealous mate and a credit to you for sticking at it. It will all be worth it when it’s finished. We will have to have a 1.6l Capri meet up when ours are both done (yours will be better though!)

I dunno what's funnier, the story or them calling it a focus.

[Dave_Q]

Not sure if anyone else will find this funny but whatevs.

 

A shit E46 for sale on farcebook - so far, so normal.

 

 

In the comments, offers of much less money, not unusual either.

But I rate the originality of this attempt here:

My 14 year old accord is ferrying myself, our tech and my boss to work as both of their brand new cars are being repaired. both repairs are self inflicted and not mechanical but still brings a smile to my face.

I love the fact the seller thinks £9.50 is £500 less than £1,250.

I just had a look in my online bank to find that HSBC have today given me £550 PPI compensation for a £4000 loan I took out 17 years ago (which, needless to say I wasted on shite)
