What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I would like to recommend to you all an ebay seller called kyautoparts13.

Needed a new injector for my Kangoo, just one.  Ordered and paid for it.  Not expensive.  Parcel arrived very quickly, containing four injectors.

Had a rather nice takeaway Indian last night from a place I'd not tried before. This morning, it was clear it had not agreed with me too well. You may be wondering why this is a grin.

The place in question was named Laguna, and I can't think of a more appropriate name for an initially pleasant experience which led to some pain and dealing with shit.

Been watching a YouTube channel called Carhax about various mechanical problems with cars:

Proper hilarious videos of bodges and revealing the lack of mechanical sympathy shown to cars.

@dozeydustman is a dirty bastard 😂

I'll have you know I was born within wedlock thank you very much 😛, but I am indeed dirty. It's a filthy old job, mine

That's one way of ensuring people stay 6' from you.

Road trip on Sunday! The prospect has cheered me up no end!

I have not been further than 20 miles from home for months, but on Sunday I have a 400 mile round trip to Dumfries courtesy of my neighbour.

Yes, it is an essential trip, I am taking a couple of tons of unprepared Bacon to the mart.

Now nervously watching the weather forecast.....

Anyone here who has previous experience of attending parish council meetings may find this painfully familiar - but it’s an entertaining eye- opener for everyone else

That's like taking a modified car to a concours meeting.

Christ, why are so many people stuck so far up their own arse?

Certainly, I get the points of the law, but geez. This is put in place so the nobs can't be toppled by the proles, don't forget...

Just looking through some pictures I took on my phone

I was at Preston Station when the Manchester train came in , it was Christmas a couple of years ago , it was full when it pulled up

No just took it while I was laughing 

Something similar happened on the IOM tt week 

Waiting for the bus back to Douglas 10 miles or so 

A bus arrived 2/3 full with 30 people waiting , they rammed themselves in like sardines , I thought I'm not getting on that I'd sooner wait 

It pulled away then not 30 seconds later another pulled in , empty , the last 15 got on , all found a seat and we followed the full bus all the way back  full of unhappy passengers once they spotted it

The Readly app enables me to read magazines I wouldn't ever spend actual money on, or even risk being seen reading in WH Smith, such as the 'How It Works Book of Amazing Vehicles'.

The grin is the illustration below from an article on monster trucks. The diagram is explaining how a monster truck performs a 10m high jump off of a ramp and lands on some cars.

The two cars pictured are two models widely known for being very popular with Cletus Spuckler, country & western singers, and NASCAR drivers - if you haven't already guessed, obviously the facelifted Mk1 Renault Megane and an early Citroen ZX.
