What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[chatsharris]

Whilst out for a dog walk we wandered passed these. Obviously I have a way to go in the collecting tat stakes!

FatHarris will be along shortly to wax lyrical about these no doubt, they were his life for a considerable amount of time.

Tidying the back garden (not a euphemism) at my new place and finally managed to take a half decent sunset pic

They made them from 13" to 17" I'll upload some pictures of the rs accessory catalogue when I get chance

 

It does stick well

 

 

I only ever remember seeing them as 15"s and looking perfect on a mate's 2.8i Capri.

[danthecapriman]

Here's the rs accessory catalogue ive got, the 17s and softline version came a little later, mine are the correct sierra ones part number 5050065 they were available with the rs centre cap or the ford centre cap

 

 

Look at how ford shamelessly flipped the picture on the mk2 hatch middle picture hoping that no one would notice even though the sweep of the rear wiper is the wrong way and the exhaust is on the wrong side, im confused at why none of the cars except the red orion and blue escort hatch have side repeaters on and thats only on the pictures with the accessories on but not in the before picture

If I come home with anything else any time soon I dread to think what’d happen to me sadly!

Ended up atop Moel Famau today sitting peacefully above the clouds with classic FM on in the car park , dropped a group off who were doing a walk. Pair of blondes turn up in a freelander 2 and start panicking and frantically looking under the bonnet, I chivalrously offered to help and it became clear that the wipers wouldn't turn off , one underbonnet fuse pulled and job jobbed, I pointed clearly where it needed to go back in, they drove off half an hour later in the pissing down rain without replacing it ...............

He's right though, anyone making any sort of offer on that heap of shit is a ballbag of the highest order.

My (now wet) Jaguar returned to daily service today!

No more public transport and carpooling!

[FakeConcern]

Bit of a shed spotted around the corner this morning and I had to laugh! (I do have a spotted thread of my own, but as almost no one ever looked at it, I'm posting here).

 

 

 

[Guest Hooli]

That's brilliant


Any security on your van sir?

Five lever mortice lock mate.

[Aston Martin]

Not car related, but I cried.

 

[Mr A Lawrence]

 

Made me grin anyway.

Gareth at work has a pool car for the day to go for a meeting, we went outside to fill the form in, after being told it was mint condition, they've never had one back like it (was a company car before the person left)...

 

 

The dent in the passenger door is particularly fun, been opened into a wall, dented it on the crease line, and left the brick marks in there... Oops

 

Uncomfortable as fuck though, I sat in it for a laugh

[Des]

If you cut out that image and carefully PVA the edges together you'll have a nice model of a Sierra that's been tagged up by someone called Dent.

[beko1987]

It looks a bit renault to me?

 

 

 

 

I am not a professional model maker obv, that doesn't help

[Stanky]

/\ /\ /\

 

Just claim its true to life, and you painstakingly recreated the damage and panel gaps on the actual car.

 

It looks a bit 'Hyundai Pony' to me.

[Guest Hooli]

And a Mk1 Sierra!

[Tadhg Tiogar]

....Their roads look to be in better condition than ours if nothing else.

 

I think potholing will become a growth outdoor sport here.

[nacho man]

On a random day at work I ended up driving this beaut that had no drivers seat so I sat on a old barbers chair. Only round the lads yard mind.

 

 

I also came home to a very nice cheque from the government for overpaid taxes. Boom shackalack!!!

Old Man gave me a good laugh earlier. I'd told him to tell me if he saw any cars for sale and what sort of thing I'm looking at...

Emailed me a link earlier to a £900 mk6 Escort estate.

Uh... nah, you're alright.

I was talking to my sister about Ken dodd and we got talking about celebrities we'd met

 

She said her and my brother in law were in London when he saw lemmy from Motorhead walking towards them

 

He stopped him and asked for an autograph

 

Sure have you got a pen

 

No

 

Well numbnuts I can't sign anything then can I , do you think I carry pictures and pens

 

He then flicked his finger on my brother in laws forehead and walked off

 

That's way better than an autograph on a bit of paper

 

Reminded me of a trip to Florida years ago

 

We were in universal studios , the grinch show was on , we saw him walking towards up heading for the show,it wasn't jim carrey obviously but looked just like him , film quality costume

 

Mrs wack got all excited because she loves the movie , stopped him and said can we have a picture

 

Instantly he said no lady but you can have This, did a massive burp and walked off.

 

She had a look of horror on her face , did you see what he did , I was doubled up laughing , what did you expect, he's the grinch, it was fantastic

Top Gear last night. Massive car auction in Japan, loads of sporty Japanese stuff, K cars and for some reason a Renault 4!

I was in a rush so didn't get a photo, but I did smile.

 

Sticker on the back of a Toyota Aygo:

 

"My other car is a horse.  And it's still quicker than this!"

 

Also didn't get a photo because I was test-driving a ruined Saab.

 

We used a petrol station to turn around in when we headed back to the dealership.  Had to squeeze past a Tesla that was sitting at the pump.  Didn't realise until we were level with it, and I don't think the dealer really understood why I'd found it funny.

Sat next to to a lorry earlier at the lights, tyre was made by " Double Happiness" which to me sounded like something you could get in a Thai massage parlour if you'd been paid for some overtime that week
