What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

someone in the bar asked for one later :D

Finally found time to take the Fiat out for a short drive. The Polonez is really helping me fully appreciate how much I like driving that thing. They're polar opposites - the Polonez drives like a lorry, while the 126 is almost a gokart. It's absolutely fantastic.

No photos from today's drive, but here's a couple I took last autumn:

Also, if anyone cares, I ended up stuffing the joint in my mum's Civic with regular moly grease. I'm currently in the process of consuming enough alcohol to forget that it's technically not correct.

South African Taxi/bus. 

I say this because on the out skirts of every small town, there would be a gathering of people.  A pick up would stop and 10 of them would pile into the back and go off into town or out into the farms.

New thread required?

[paulplom]

Car boot sale bargain £5.

The existing sony one doesn't have aux in and doesn't read cds anymore.

This new one works perfect but forgets the settings when you turn the ignition off. Which 2 wires do you swap over?

[Dan the van]

You just need a fused permanent live,should tell you which one it is on the case.

[beko1987]

Red and yellow normally

[paulplom]

Nothing on the case.

So if I just cut them here and swap them it'll be fine and nor blow up/go on fire?

 

[paulplom]

Scratch that. Looks like someone has already swapped them on the back of the radio. I'll just swap them back.

Win.

 

[bangernomics]

No need to cut anything just poke the terminals out of the block and reinsert the other way around.

[paulplom]

I got myself some 'new' darts while I was there for £2.

I will be very surprised if this guy isn't on this forum:

Driving down the A14 yesterday, I saw one of those Mitsubishi 3000 GTO things (them that you used to see loads of during the 'grey import craze' years driven by bankloaned-up 20 yr-olds and topless tomato-faced Brian Glover lookalikes). It was on a visibly nose-heavy 4-wheel trailer, being towed by a..... 57-plate Seat Ibiza dragging its arse hopelessly along the road . Bravo!!!!

[SRi05]

Seen these two old Saab’s parked up on my highland adventure, couldn’t resist

[Jerzy Woking]

Cashed in the ten small tins of coins (20p and under) that I have been putting in them for the past 3 years (admittedly not many in the past year or so).

Grand total of £557.34, which is nice.

The funniest thing about this for me is that Audi don't know how to spell "brake".

The word is Spain will be in second lock down . I hope they are wrong for you and me, I live here.

I personally would not bother with any vacation which are planed so far into the future.
