What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Remspoor]

More relief than a grin.

Trying to sell the 307SW. Not much interest until last Thursday. Messaging back and forth, for 2 days. Then it went quiet. Read last night the Police have arrested a group of crims for fraudulently  "purchasing" cars with the real reason of collecting personal data of the seller.

Coincidence?

Fair points.

Doesn't always stop us though!

Although I wouldn't travel to the end of the street for a 307 and I like Peugeot's.

To be honest the 307 SW is a much better all round everyday car than the phase 1a 3008 I purchased ... that was done to help the wife. She prefers electric handbrakes and did not want a larger car like a 508.  I did not want 3 cylinder or adblue engine.

Had a chuckle today when I was out in the wilds of Argyllshire and saw a queue of cars coming towards me led by one of the most unlikely vehicles to dawdle that I could imagine. Holding up all the pick up trucks, Transit vans and everything else was a 74 plate Ford Mustang. A real one mind, not one of the battery buggies.

Going to Screwfix for a length of pipe, and then having to drive home looking like a Yemeni technical:

Sunroofs have their uses.

Not car related but listening to BBC Radio 6 Music. Radcliffe and Maconie played "Young Americans" by Bowie and then "Never Too Much" by Luther Vandross (RIP both). Nice segway - Luther sang backing vocals on Young Americans.

Pissing about in the woods earlier we dug up a little glass bottle!

We bought it home and cleaned it up and it's quite nice, don't know how old it truly is though, probably not very 😂

Very quick Google for P&R suggests mid 1800s.

Nice thing though!

my sister needs to sorn her sons peugeot while he's away travelling round Europe (was being insured month by month on a learners policy) and I needed to guide her through the process - not having a V5 handy, I googled for a suitable image

yep, that one in the right corner, posted by Parkers, is a genuine V5, lucky I'm not feeling silly.....

I didn't, but it's a bit of a blunder

apparently it’s a ford puma with an mot measured in days 

but a suprisingly good history

"Ill order you some new flip flops for holiday" she said.

"Of course I know how their size system works" she said.

Small looking box that.

Not sure if this is the right place to post so apologises if I get it wrong!

The last few weeks me and a few mates have spent some time working on my dear mate's beloved C280

Bless it its previous owner turned it into a blacked out clapped out debadged cruiser with LEDs everywhere which wouldn't do

So over the past few weeks we've slowly been changing bulbs back to how they should be and fixing trims and overall bringing the car back to how it was meant to be and here is where we stand:

It's looking far better now, annoyingly the SAM module (we expect) has gone wrong as the indicators don't and the reverse lights etc aren't either, also all the windows drop when you open the door so it thinks its a CLS 😂 We did clean up the module to the best of our ability but to no avail (the wipers and auto lights did wake up yesterday though, partial result?)

Also had its boot badge refitted!

A specialist is having a look at the module on Wednesday, hopefully should be 100% soon, as despite the issues it drives and runs like a absolute dream!

Tesco fuel station in Inverness this lunchtime. The guy in front gets out, looks blankly at the Pay at Pump screen, does something with the keypad.  Pump in front of him becomes free, so I squeeze past and fill up with 30 odd litres, go into kiosk, pay and come back out. The guy is still pushing buttons, putting cards in the machine and scanning his Clubcard when I drive off. 😄😄

Black wheels do tend to look shite on most cars - it's much smarter with the silver alloys.

Spotted today at BCA Walsall as i was driving past, just look at it!

So much shiteness!
