What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

MG innit?

That's what I thought at first only because the wheels look too small for it but maybe that's the popular style now for these types of car.

Will be a busy weekend in November. Heaven 17 - playing The Luxury Gap in full - on Friday and The Human League on Sunday.

Dodge Charger. They didn't have a V8 one sadly so a 300 odd horsepower V6 will have to do.

 

Went full redneck

Just got back from a week in Italy with work, spent the time around Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi area. A whole week of drooling over old Fiat 500s, 126s and other Fiat chod. But most of all the 3 wheel piaggio pick ups. They are just awesomely shit. Anyone know roughly how much it would cost to get one containers over as I don’t fancy driving one over the Alps.

Yep...that made me grin.

 

Bloody flights to get here didn't mind you!

 

Haven't quite decided if it was worth it yet...

I booked the Hull Zeebrugge ferry for the Le Mans 24h tonight.  I'm going with an old friend and staying with a Mme who has an old farm very close to the Porsche Curves. I haven't been for a couple of years for dull reasons and this completes the double with the Nurburgring 24h I'm going to with my son a month or so before.  :-D

Today I built a tower:

I really need something like that to sort the inside of our atrium roof and to change the light bulbs over the pool table...

Today I have a running MGF! Spade connector, who'd have thought it.

Had daughter #3 here this afternoon, with her 'new' Fiesta.

 

She said the old one barely made it to the garage that she turned it in to, had to be pushed the last 1/4 mile.

 

Some kid asked if it was for sale and was told it was fubar'd but persisted despite being told it probably wouldn't get to the end of the road.

He insisted and paid £75 for it (someone here perhaps)?

 

The garage bloke told her that, apart from that, he had found a diagnostic computer plugged in under the dash and flogged it on eBay for £50 :)

Other than the poor flight home, I've just had a great business trip to Berlin and was lucky enough to be taken around for a quick sight seeing, in this wonderful Russian 4x4 called an Olga. :)

 

Cart spring suspension, engine between the front seats and a crazy reduction box.

 

What an amazing truck and city!

That 929 is a beauty. I used to spot it all the time, it lives up the top of Varusha north. I even left a note enquiring about it's availability after it hadn't moved for ages. Didn't get a response. Good to see it's still alive.

That’s a UAZ 452, often known as a Bukhanka (translation : “loaf”).

In production since 1965 and you can still buy a new one.

Wait a minute, you were taken sightseeing by a Russian named Olga?

 

I think those were the wrong pics...
