What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Eat your heart out Vulgalour.

[chaseracer]

I like that.

The little-known Laura Ashley speshul edition. Winnar.

[320touring]

I like that.

Remind you of the care home?

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I've just rediscovered Barryboys. Their usual fare is quite entertaining for a while, but the highlight so far has to be this:

 

*kof*Maybe now is not the time to admit that my previous 635CSi had this in the driving seat:

 

 

....but that was amateur night compared with the Merc.

I say this every year but:

 

World's Strongest Man.

 

Darts next! (The proper one; at Lakeside)

Was at my parents in laws earlier. Young nephews were there too.

 

To keep them occupied, their granny had dug out some of the their dad's old toys from the attic.

 

What a fabulous game that was!

[Aston Martin]

I like the Jimmy, but is this overkill?

Reading the "care and maintenance" section of my moped engine, seems they figured it out where Rover failed:

 

"As with all engines that clamp the head through the block to the crank case, the bolt torque should be checked every 50 miles of use to prevent head gasket failure".

 

That is what was missing from the handbook of any vehicles with a K-series in, right there.

Passing through a dodgy part of Wolverhampton yesterday (Scotlands, A460 Cannock Road) I espied a promising-looking indy motor factors called Paul's Car Spares.  Lucky me, I'm in again today, so I shall take a closer look.

[fordperv]

A couple of spots from the last 2 days

 

Thought this guy was a proper winner on new years day

 

Saw this on the m6 last night

Holy cow! Have you see what Mr Lobster has just got in stock?!

The state of Oregon has recently passed a law allowing people to pump their own gas. Good excuse to laugh at the people who don't know how to do such a thing, or think it is dangerous to do so.

Glad it made you smile. I'm getting 20 questions now (possibly deserved)

Or possibly xquadruple - did you take notes to get to this stage if so would you care to share them?

[Kiltox]

LMFAO at xquadruple

[clayts450]

Was squinting quizzically at the car in front of me, trying to work out what on earth it was - penny dropped.

 

Daihatsu Sirion.

 

Must have been the 1.3 because it saw my Streetshite off at the lights and shot off into the distance at many leptons. Don't think it was the pimped up Rally model tho'

[cobblers]

Got home from work to find the roof light off the camper van was sat on my doorstep. Initially confused, I realised hurricane Maureen must have blown it off, and someone picked it up off the street and fetched it round to stop it getting any more destroyed. I've no idea who did though.

 

Don't get me wrong, it's smashed up to bollocks but at least it was easy enough to cable tie it back to keep the rain out til I can swap it properly.

[Pillock]

Welcome to my evenings!

Having signed up for three strongwoman competitions this year, Mrs_Pillock is now watching them all in a binge fashion.

 

And then I do like watching the darts, despite being crap at them. I think it's because it's dead quick.... Thud, thud, thud, someone's winning and it gets exciting, thud thud, someone wins, start again. None of this tedious 90 minutes of hoofing a ball around with the possibility of nobody winning.

ST got picked up yesterday but only managed to ring the garage today about what extra damage the collapsed spring might have caused.

 

"nothing else" was the reply! Was a bit surprised as when I got my hand in all the flex was out and it made a horrible sound moving it but so far they don't even think the tyre was damaged.

 

They did say they'd ordered springs plural so the other side must have been going too. This is now the second time they've fired off.

Good. News is it's all while been sat at home on the drive or just outside and the last time was over 7 year ago.

Inexplicably I seem to be watching 'Pretty Woman' which I have thus far mamaged to avoid over the last 20-odd years. Its pish of course, but check this out:

 

 

Its only a flippin Rayton Fissore Magnum!!!!! WTF is that doing there?

[Timewaster]

Who was it on here who had one?

 

A Rayton thingy, not a pretty woman.

More like 'Dirt Devil' or 'Fuller Brush'.

When I had an old coachbuilt mine left the party somewhere between Santa Pod and Redcar, the trouble was I didn't know until a week later. It was over the kitchen luckily.  About 12 years ago I paid £38 for new Fiamma? one. I think they get brittle with age, light etc.

Relatives of mine got a puncture in there new Sportfridge (ha!)
