What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Roobarb]

So many things I just don’t understand in America, then something comes along that blows my mind (‘cos I can’t even fathom it...)

....and perhaps someone tripping over the cable, followed by its being snipped?

Found an old rattle can of Citron yellow recently so i thought I'd better use it up in case it "went off".

That's better,much better...

@purplebargeken is this good?

[TataBobu]

Still got it! My Dacia, last moved almost an year ago (but with valid romanian MOT, insurance and road tax) is still traveling the speed limit as proved by this photo taken by yours trully:

They're going to get a nasty bang if someone tries snipping one of the HV charger cables! An awful lot of energy can be transferred over those wires.

Yes, but who's going to tell 'em that? ?

Hairnet, depends on your definition of good. It looks handy to have but god help you parking in Haringey and expecting to find your car intact or even there upon your return

Talking of 'going off', I've been helping my son get his new house sorted out and took half a gallon of black eggshell round for various bits.  He was going to paint his handrail with it.  I'd put it in his garage, he went in there this morning and it had exploded, just missing his new freezer but was all over the floor.  It has been here for at least three years.

Never had a tin of paint explode like that before.

Today I woke up in Salisbury at a friend's after a fab weekend, drove to Birmingham to pick son up from in laws, now driven to Pinewood to watch Taskmaster being recorded, then back to Birmingham and home, good job I (generally ) enjoy driving..

I was particularly impressed by his identification of the car he was driving - around the 45" mark.

[loserone]

An airbag, yes.  Named after a Radiohead song isn't it?

Car insurance

I finally got round to cancelling the insurance on the Mazda. It took all of 3 minutes to cancel and arrange a refund of the unused portion. The ins. co. used caller id to identify me and had my details ready as soon as I was connected to the call centre approx 45 seconds after I dialled. That is what not having compulsory insurance is all about, your custom is appreciated and service levels are high as they need your business. Getting insurance for whatever is bought next will be just as easy.

I was following this over Rochester bridge earlier.

Love the car sales sticker..

A mate went out to a warning light concern earlier.

He opened the bonnet and caught the culprit red handed.

Naughty Mr Fox had chewed the boost pressure sensor wiring and then went out for a drive.

Yesterday I got this,

 

Today I swapped it for these.

Anti-corrosive paint, always useful with the chod I own.

I probably shouldn't have laughed quite so hard, but my sister has just broken a rib after someone crashed into her Mini. 

I mean that literally, she fell off a wall trying to take photos for the insurance...
