Meeting fellow autoshiter @inconsistant during a Slayer set at Download. 

He's shit at helping get away from drunks, but in all other respects a thoroughly nice chap.

To be fair, he was standing so close to you I just assumed he was a best mate or even family.

Mate. That is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. I've been laughing like a drain since.....

Here's one from Volvo-land.

Last weekend but one I got cornered by my neighbour, whilst fettling the 214, as he couldn't start his diesel Vectra, it wasn't turning so  poss sus battery. Tried a jump pack, na-da, suggested starter motor fucked, tried a jump  off the Streetshite with good quality leads courtesy of neighbour - failed to start.  Stuck to my guns and said, starter motor. Tried seeing where it was with the aim of giving it some gentle persuasion, fuck me the engine bay is crowded (diesels pah), and said 'I'm done here, cos diesel - have you got home start'. He said what would they do, I said you'd get an accurate diagnosis and then he could work out what happens next.

Vectra then disappeared for a week - came back tonight. I was fettling the 214 again.  Neighbour said ' yup, starter motor was fucked. And the alternator too'.

Rewind two years before I returned behind the wheel and I wouldn't have known how to diagnose a fucked starter motor. Now I do. This place, etc.

Trouble is, am I now his go to man ?

This epic filler job on a MkV Golf in the scrappies.

I never see famous people , in my 58 years I've seen 2 , bizarrely both at sandbach services 

1n the 90s I saw Mollie Sugden ( not her pussy though)

And this evening Christopher Dean , I almost said hi to him until I realised I didn't actually know him , just his face

He's 2 years older than me but looks 15 years younger , a perfect example of what you can look like if you eat healthily and exercise V if you don't

A grin from the weekend. I was at a small show in Rushden, mostly local cars until these guys showed up. They'd driven three V12 Jags from southern Germany to the Scottish borders for the national rally and then spent a couple of weeks touring the UK! I'm sure the GGG would applaud their efforts to improve The Climate but I wouldn't want to be paying their fuel bill.

The one on the right is an Avon Stevens Double Six convertible, not something I knew existed.

Just scrolling through Facebook and this pops up.

1984 Vauxhall Astra 1300 S. One owner from new. It’s at the same yard we rescued the Mazda 929 from last year. This one is okay to be recommissioned again, I’d assume the V5 is available if that’s the case. I’m going to look at it on Saturday and I will report back if anyone is interested in taking it on? There has been a bit of interest in it already on Facebook so it’s anyone’s for the taking.

Fuck me, a brown Mk1 Astra on local plates.  This is yet another of those times when I wish I wasn't skint.  (I'm going to hazard a guess it won't be cheap...)

I’ve no idea on the price to be honest, you know as much as I do at the moment!

It does look quite sexual though, doesn’t it....

The Mazda Lantis of many years has departed stuno towers for fresh roads.

I am now almost carless and will remain so for a while until sufficient funds happen. Only a 2003 Suzuki Swift  remains.

Whilst queuing up for Download at the weekend, I got chatting to the bloke next to me and at some point whilst discussing a popular beat combo, I happened to mention that I thought the singer was a complete wank-puffin. This was obviously a very early use of a cyber insult being used in the real world as chap spat a considerable quantity of his beer all over me and began choking!.

Seeing this at Gregg's cheered me up, its  tiny and sounded really sweet when it started up

Also this made me smile at Tesco, just the job for a quick bit of shopping

I hate this twat, but i'm pleased that he drives an old Previa.

IMO I dont think it looks that bad on the inside for a kiddy bus owned by a turd.

Scrolling down past that picture nearly gave me a seizure.

[iainrcz]

It's only up to the picture rail, I think a full room top to bottom might be a bit much.

Someone at work has outdone my X5 spectacularly - a 550i in metallic gold in SE spec. Holy fuck. 

Need to get a photo and see what interior it has if I see it again!
