What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[gm]

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.

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.9D276B81-838F-42DE-9F75-EB910015A66A.jpeg

I know they ain’t great cars but they still look the dogs bollocks even now.

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.

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

 

thats a very big if isn't it?

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:

I remembered another collective noun.  Bentleys are an Expense.

Watching Knightrider? You want to be keeping an eye on that Magnum he drives your Ferrari like a proper bugger.

that shonky masking pissed me off back in the day , always hated that super pursuit mode

I commented on another thread here that the shrink, in Dynasty, had one... Studio lighting made the skin look like a pewter pot scratched with 6 brands of brillo - showing up the satin tone in the metal.

 

Likely a 'paid for'/freebie placement, from the CokeKing himself = always the showman

I think a bit of poor masking could be forgiven when achieving a proper self driving car built of Eighties technology, and KITT helped take down the Berlin wall you know. Can we keep mum about Super Pursuit Mode Chaps, we don't want Jerry getting wind and Audi marketing it to tailgaters.

It's a very old car, 1997 Honda Civic, but the MOT was fine
 

 

 

He did get an absolute bargain though, if the gumtree ad was genuine.

Not if one is pushed off a cliff* and the other is sent up to meet it by rocket ... 

 

* cue someone telling me that the terminal velocity of a Renault will mean that it still cant reach 100 mph

The whole thing was a shitty publicity stunt and he can get to fuck with his stupid website.

[Slartibartfast]

Double post, sorry not sorry.

 

What's making me grin today? It's my birthday.

 

This is my favourite pressie (the little one). I'm at work so I can't light the candle cos 'elf and safety and whatnot, but it's a lovely little thing.

 

[iainrcz]

^^ happy 50th.

 

Sent from my phone. which obviously isn't an Apple one, I'd have said.

[castros_bro]

Now you can get super cheap insurance (got Pug 106 down to £46 a year)

LoLz.

 

Humour, I love it!

Quite. How did he get it taxed on a 24hr insurance cover?

[Kiltox]

Easily. They don’t check insurance when you tax a car and haven’t for years.

 

Unless he insures it properly or fucks it off he would start getting hassle about continuous insurance enforcement though

[Captain Furious]

Those Zuckerberg "Data" pics have been making me grin too, there is a few flying around

 

Other grins include

 

Yesterday marked 100 days of quitting smoking and £1000 saved (probably actually more but based on 1 pack a day)

BT Mobile finally support wifi-calling.  Might not mean anything to you if you're not an Apple apologist, but this allows you to make and receive phone calls over wifi if you live in a shite reception area - like I do.  Its been available on EE for years but not BT, even though they use EE's network.

I've seen (pictures of) Bub's new motor. Absolutely nobody on here is going to buy anything worse all year, and that's a promise.

It is a spectacular motor for sure.
