What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Definitely should have tried a 306 before now. They handle amusingly well.

 

I think I'll replace this one when it dies with another.

My son messaged me the other day and said he was flying down to Newquay to collect his new car.

I asked what was it and he said "it's a Cresta".

 

 

 

 

Alas it's a bloody Toyota Cresta..

 

Nice enough though 2.5 straight six turbo with a print out showing 284bhp.

[Joey spud]

 

He smuggled these back over the boarder too.

Been driving the company Ford Exploda (Explorer) all last week.

 

It was amazing climbing back into and driving my old subie come Saturday morning. No floaty boat feeling (I could actually feel the bumps and surface changes in the road), manual gearbox, so feeling the gear change, and when that turbo came into song...

 

Near bliss!

I’m not condoning violence, but Ronnie Pickering gets walloped.

In my head, I want an ambulance to pick him up and he explains who he is.

Whilst sorting out parts of my collection I came across this programme and wondered if it was Junkman of this forum??

Further to my posting a photo of shyte a week or so ago, I'll follow it up with a picture of a smooth jobbie.

 

And one of a lumpy jobbie:

i particularly like the description of the new walnut whip minus the walnut

The fact that we all seem to be getting on well together and we've managed to avert the much-predicted 2018 AUTOSHITE meltdown.

Stepdaughter's report card at Parents' Evening last night. She's doing entry level car mechanics. Very proud.

 

 

Upper half is practical assessment (4 distinctions, 2 merits and 2 passes), bottom is the theory side. 2nd in the class overall with an average mark of 94% and is earmarked for an apprenticeship at the local VW dealer. I think she's going to make a bloody good mechanic when she's all growed up.

 

She's already said that drum brakes are "fucking awful fucking fuckers that can fuck off". Good girl!

 

EDIT - parents' evening was last week, we got the report card yesterday after she came home from college!

When my mechanic Steve (57) is laying under a truck outside in february "fucking awful fucking fuckers that can fuck off" he says something similar about his parents who were also in the motor trade and passed their knowledge on to him to get him to where he is now 

[Guest Hooli]

She's wrong about drum brakes.

Not enough swear words?

 

Anyway, my grin is because of this commemorative plate that a friend posted on Twitter. 1985, the iconic beige Maestro!

[hairnet]

all the clockwise tat from 12 o clock is more technically advanced than the maestro

Wife went to Portugal at 3 am on a hen do, I couldn't get back to sleep so by 5 am there was a set of  Fiesta seats in the kitchen getting deep cleaned and I've just part resprayed a wing on the kitchen table...

Not enough swear words?

 

 

As long as she doesn't use the C-word, she can swear all she likes at drums. I do exactly the same. C-word is not befitting of a young lady.

[twosmoke300]

Drum brakes aren't too bad if you think about things a bit , do one side at a time for a pattern and it's not Vito handbrake shoes

[Ghosty]

Drum brakes?

 

Something something P6 rear discs.

[robinmasters]

Drum brakes are great, apart from that cunting spring.

[Jim Bell]

[Sloth in a bowl]

At this rate we will just be xylophoning the jokes in.
