What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Jim Bell]

Sad news this morning when I had the message that sorry but trike has sold on eBay. Why the grin? Well I had a message an hour back saying if I still want it it's mine has the buyer has dropped out.

Good old ebay, ruining lives and offering second chances since 1994.

[bub2006]

My friend stuck to his word and I stuck to mine. If it didn't sell on eBay I'd get offer and I wanted it to run anyway. All happy!

Unexpected grin: tried and failed earlier in the year to get tickets to see Mercury Rev playing an extremely small venue in my home town. No chance - tickets all gone within seconds of release.

 

Friend who works for the local paper messages me earlier to ask if I fancy coming along with him next Tuesday, as he's writing a review and has a +1 for the door list.

 

Get in.

If there's not a takeaway in the vicinity, then it's either one serious oddball in the street - or time to call in Rentokil as the K11 has learned how to breed.

This morning I took a detour on the way to work as I was picking up some computer gubbinz for a colleague. I'm pleased I did because it meant I got to witness a man with an actual pirate eyepatch getting out of a Toyota bB covered in stick-on halfords tat.

 

This was a good start to the day. I didn't get a pic because I was dumbstruck by the awesomeness of the entire episode

If you drove both cars at each other at 100mph,would they merge into each other and make one good car?

[Datsuncog]

^^^ Doubtful, but it would probably make me feel a whole heap better!

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Disturbing random wires in the CX engine bay and finding that other things start working!

[Alfamale]

This came past me on the M1 last night southbound between J33 and J32. Great to see it being used rather than sitting in a heated garage somewhere.

^^^ Doubtful, but it would probably make me feel a whole heap better!

 

If both cars were driving, let alone at 100mph, there would be no problems

Was it doing 88mph?

[AlabamaShrimp]

I could never have one due to those tiny windows, it'd drive me mad

 

Couldn't something be done to make them work properly (yeah I know it because of the door shape)

I just found my old 944 is for sale on gummers, for a lot more than I sold it for (back in 2011) He's obviously spent a load on bodywork, it really is looking very smart.

It’s brilliant, are the people being interviewed in on it? I can’t make my mind up whether they are or not. The one guy last night seemed to be well pissed off.

Going on my stag this weekend.

House sale paperwork came through today for purchase of new place with it's garage.

If we can get the stars to align we might be able to do sale and purchase exchange same day.

Get in!

I shall admit there is a certain amount of luck involved

No, the interviews are genuine and unscripted.  She always makes the interviewees quite uncomfortable.

I was watching Knight Rider earlier, and KITT went into 'super pursuit mode'. LOOK AT THE OVERSPRAY:
