What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Just tuned into bangers and cash 

Derek is doing a piece to camera 

Well it's legal when you're 16 and let's face it when you're 16 you just want to get into something warm 

Yes I remember being 16 

Camera pans to a bmw bubble car , oh 

[Crackers]

I fixed a thing, and it worked. Rare.

Granted, it was only re-greasing the window sliders on the Mazda, but still. I made something better, which never happens.

One wiper blade !

Not fishing rods , oars or blow up boat ...

There must be hundreds of fucked cars in Nottinghamshire 

Surely that's a road that needs closing when it's flooded , handy if you're looking for an undertray though

There's a great video somewhere of an Aygo sailing gently across the ford, then clambering out the other side and driving away.

I'm proud as punch today, daughter number 2 passed her driving test at the first attempt. Felt so sorry for her when the world went to shit during the lockdowns, but she kept plodding along with it. Currently around a 6 month wait for tests round our way.

If you see an 09 plate bronze Suzuki Swift round Derby with a teenage girl grinning from ear to ear, that will probably be her!

Only another 13 months to go till son number 1 turns 17 so I can go through it all again. I must know every inch of Asda and B&M's carpark by now 😂.

This makes me grin every time I still see it in service - 626 from WestLeigh motors (now a sainsburys).

After a very long day of back breaking work and tons of earth and stone moved with shovel and wheelbarrow, the new septic tank is in place. And i am enjoying chocolate now.

Volvo’s been sitting for a couple of months now, I couldn’t even be arsed MOTing it at the start of September when it was due.

Decided to stick it in for test today - went straight through! Never any doubt.
Treated it to half a tank of super unleaded and some Berryman fuel system cleaner as a reward!🤠

Picture from an advert for a reasonably priced old 110 on the 'Trader. It does rather sum up the diesel Landrover experience, where every day is like an old Hammer Horror film set.
