Thanks to the wonders of the internet, I now own a hub cap  from a Princess. Oddly, it came from a town only a few minutes away from mine.

Now I just need an Allegro/Maxi hub cap to go along side it.

I always thought they were the same , why would a company make 2 different hubcaps that look the same, that would not be a recipe for a long lived, profitable concern. Ahh...

Friend whos a painter has got an elderly ladys car in at the moment. 

A reg w123 estate.  1 owner car.  117k on the clock. 

He was re-wobbin the arches for the 3rd time over many years and had advised new arches and wings but shes happy to just have him tart it up a bit every couple of years. 

Fair play lady. It was rather spiffing. 

It looked very elegant Next to a new bmw with a wanky number plate.

More exciting than having your hand down a toilet.

I had a plumber round once to unblock an upstairs toilet , he was up a ladder outside with the rod down the soil stack 

I stupidly asked him how he was getting on

Not great , 3 years at college, 20 years on the job and I'm still poking shit out of a tube.

That's the retort I used to use when I had a Huawei. Any poor bastard assigned to spy on me is going to have a hard time! Even Google struggles showing me 'relevant' ads, and Facebook! 

I'm not privacy secure or anything, I'm just very boring! 

It's  a good job I don't have one, as today a colleague and I were discussing the relative merits of electrocution or poisoning and whether you could convincingly fake a lightening strike.

This was all theoretical, we are not really planning to do someone in. If so I'd just bore them to death.

A friend* once towed a Cortina, a Hyacinth Rover, a Fiesta and a MK2 Granada all chained together across an industrial estate with only the car at the back (Granny) being attended.

It went really well*.

I love that sketch. I’m desperate to know where a very similar one  (with monkeys) was filmed. Screenshot below. I have a feeling it’s in Kent but don’t know.

'But who will look after my monkeys now?'

They did film a lot of stuff in Kent (they both live here), but the bit I posted looks like Beechy Head.

We went to have a look at a couple of cars for our soon to be 17 year old. This was the wheel trims  on a 13plate VW UP.

 

Also not that you can make it out but this was a cock and balls in the dirt on the bonnet of a corsa

 

Yep thats tippex on the trims

Hello there, I'm wondering if you could help me? I'm actually a TV Producer casting for a new TV show - think Location Location Location but with cars. We take car buyers, their budget and desires into consideration then hopefully find them the car of their dreams within their budget - on our new show. We're half way through the series and are wondering if you know anyone who'd be up for being on the show and letting us help them find a new car - on our new show for Discovery quest. Do you happen to know anyone? I appreciate this is random! Thanks, Shanie
