This was pretty much the best thing I've ever done -

Video, just in case anyone is interested in the back of my head and some expert piloting - until I took the controls. Camera work by my son, the shakiness wasn't all his fault - it was a bit bumpy up there.

And no, the pink headset wasn't my idea - but I think I really made it work.

I'm jealous!  PA 28?

Yea, a PA 28 161 - not certain if it's a warrior 2 or 3.

Absolutely brilliant.  I would have loved to have continued my PPL training.  Unfortunately it was hella expensive, and I had other things I had to pay for.  Are you going to do more?

That's the plan, it'll either bankrupt me or be awesome.

Nice job ..... my Ex GF managed to organise an initiation for my son as he was coming up to 9 at the time. He got to co-pilot and took the controls for a while too. He still hasn't shut up about it and that was 3yrs ago now! It'll bankrupt me if he wants to go for it once he's actually old enough. That - or it's the Cadet Corps!

More Facebook imbeciles

A local chap is advertising his valeting services and pictures a Porsche with a drying towel on the bonnet.

A rather confused individual, with a very apt surname, comments on the post to accuse the valet person of being a careless businessman by placing floor mats on customers vehicles 

And when alerted to this error by someone else, Mr Assman is adamant of his original point and starts accusing everyone of lying.

Pictures below 🤦

I'm sure it's a windup, but still an entertaining read nonetheless!

Not bad for a 12 year old car - and yes, the rear arms look a bit crusty, but there's plenty of life yet.

And that's the worst thing on the entire MOT history 😁

Which side? F-I-L lives just before the Barton end.

In other news, I’ve ma…..well I’ll just put the photo up. Spotted by an urban explorer - been off the road since 1990 when it was just 6 years old.

‘SIERRA 1.6’ on the boot lid?

Surely not…

I was on the Hessle side, after being around shitty chemicals and noisy machines, it was nice to get outside

I looked up Barry Assmann to try and find the whole argument. 

This retired gentleman claims he is "An experienced parking officer who still maintains duties in the local area to ensure safety"

 

How much do you not want to meet that guy?!

I didn't even notice that! Sounds like Cycling Mikey's uncle

Search up Billy Naymard who is the OP, and you'll see the post, but the comment has been deleted. Wonder why!

He's either a Class A troll, or an utter jobsworth with nothing better to do. Suffering small man syndrome perhaps

Being a 1984 model it won't have a grey grille, though.  It will also have decadent features like a radio and side rubbing strips.

Nice peaceful protest that makes me grin

A bit pissed off because the police are moving in.

@PhilA

Golden Gate Bridge gives mental impressions of grandeur.

Hale-Boggs/Luling Bridge less so

Looking at the Vauxhall Viva on howmanyleft...

Head says it's a typo, heart wants someone to have stuck a ridiculously large engine in a Viva.

The weight of such a lump would probably snap a Viva in half 🤣
