Might have cured the BX's reluctance to start by simply replacing two hoses.  It started so easily today it caught me off guard.

Went to change air filter in the SooZooKey of much smollness, it appears to be very very new.

Oil on dipstick very golden coloured as well.

That’s one job saved til after xmas. Supposed to be nice on saturday, so I’ll do the brakes and possibly the CV joint.

So this afternoon I did some gardening instead.

Bought a fairly expensive new three piece suit.
I look like a cunt in a suit, but like wearing them.

OK, who was it?

If those 'tonne' bags actually have a tonne in each no wonder it gave up.

Accidental clickage of the subtitles button on a Bus Grease Monkey vid got me this gem.  It's not even close to what they were saying.  Also, every time the bus made jangling rattling old empty bus noises it was captioned [Music] and I'm not going to dispute that at all.

I've driven dropside pickups for 30 years , if the moron had put the front bags behind the rear bags he's still have been 3x overweight but his truck wouldn't be snapped in half.

I know a guy that always insisted the load was against the bulkhead to stop it moving , until vosa stopped him and his front axle was 2x overloaded , can't remember what the fine was but it was a lot.

I got done in a transit on the m6 when I was working in Birmingham about 20 years ago. I got fined £1 per kilo over. £540 iirc.

A transit can carry surprisingly little (1.1 ton). Loaded up with tool, pipe and ladders etc. I would say I'm overloaded all the time.

My old sprinter mobile Workshop was right on the limit all the time . My weight prob put it over the edge- quiet at the back

From the comments he'd already delivered 3...

Panpan Tangerine insurance was gonna be £278

Panpan 4x4 was gonna be £268 because of NCD.

Or £546 the pair.

 

I rang because Hastings have a multicar policy... £439 for the pair. I think it was £419, but they nobbed me £20 because im adding a car. ? 

But I'm happy.

Wonder if it had badly perished old tyres on when they acquired it and they just chucked a set of budgets on given its not going anywhere in a hurry!

Looks amazing.

Treated myself and got this bad boy today, driving it home marked the first time I have ever had a Lego set inside my car that actually cost more than the car itself

[robinmasters]

Nearly time to finish work on a Friday night, and I notice how much a transit van's window line looks like a bottle opener.

my first car was a civic, I loved that little car

did the blue one have a price on it ? 

 

[Wack]

I thought this was a joke but it's an actual thing , no fucking about in the snow hitting the starter with a hammer for today's kids

PCP on a new audi and computer games instead

I did search for this image as a 'humorous' response to the above post.

However, I'd not noticed before, the engine is probably totally fucked as a result of the massive torque exerted upon it by being started by that tank battery. 

* and obviously the massive starter which would draw that torque. Apologies in advance to anyone who actually knows about this stuff-I don't.

No I think its just for display to show how hondas used to have some credibility 20 years ago 

[Andyrew]

One of the girls at work comes in a does a Christmas window in the shop. My kind of crimbo decoration this. 

 

[DeeJay]

They're not selling the blue Civic, it's been re-tyred.

Local Crown Honda in Colindale have had a 1985 Prelude on display for ages, or at least until recently....

After Last years travesty, worse even than the Brexit vote debacle, sense has finally been seen and the walnut reinstated in its rightful place on top of the whip. Bloody nice they are too.

You do realise that they have both been available all the time, the proper one and one for the nutless. Personally I'd be happy with the walnut and they can keep the chocolate with sickly filling.

Not in Morrisons they haven’t! And pretty sure they pulled the walnut as remember reading the morons saying how it was the end of the world. It wasn’t, but close.

Much as I hate quoting the Torygraph, they were removed in 2017

And if you read the article it does say that both were still available, it was to give customers a choice, available singly all the time and in a six pack at Christmas.
