I went in the shed earlier, I haven't been there for about 8 months or so. I remembered I've got this in there:

Watching a Spitfire and Hurricane doing a few flypasts of the Mersey today. Absolutely cracking stuff and the noise is just something that imo can't be captured by jet aircraft.

Topless motoring bought, fixed & MoT'd for less than £500

I touched a Muria today, saw another, been a foot away from a pair if 540k mercs - imagine your local pub meet was full of 60's supercars, 30's grand tourers and lob in a maclaren P1 and your there - all for €12! It's just a shame you have to visit Italy (£ouch) to do it. I guess the villa d'este is like Goodwood 15 years ago - reccomended. Being the first car behind 5 new Royce's battling Italian traffic and motorbikes along the como coast was a pleasure - there bloody quick too! Burning overtime FTW!

My next-door-but-one neighbour has moved out.

The neighbour (youngish girl) who attracted a stream of chavs in beaten up, untaxed cars. Sometimes for a few minutes at a time. She couldn't comprehend sensible parking so often took up two cars space, on a main road outside terraced houses where you don't get that amount of space. She couldn't figure the bin out so just left ripped binbags spilling out all over the place. She attracted a gang of youths one night who went on a rampage through gardens breaking fences and stealing my bike. She used to get people shouting death threats through her letterbox. She got her car vandalised three times in a month. She kept a dog locked up all day, apart from between 3am and 3.30am when it seemed to get let out to bark at the darkness. She used to get her mates jumping over next door's gate to get to her back garden, then one morning they found a massive kitchen knife in their garden.

 

I presume she was dealing drugs, or was a hooker, or perhaps both. I took delight in calling the police "for her" when her car got smashed up, strangely she didn't want to talk to them. Perhaps because it was neither taxed nor insured.

 

Good luck to her new neighbours. I hope ours are better.

I feel bad for whoever moves into the house and has to deal with people who don't know her new address!

I spent a few hours yesterday sat at a bar on Colchester high street, in that time a 1965 Hillman Minx, a 1968 Renault 10 (giving it beans), a B reg XR2, Two Sierras, some Lamborghini convertible thing, two Audi R8's and a bronze Porsche 911 with the number plate "A911" drove past, all a number of times doing laps.

 

And some pretty girl in denim hotpants with her arse cheeks hanging out. a most enjoyable evening drinks.

 

Edit - just found a photo of the Porsche online.

And where is the pic of the hot-panted chick?

WHS ^^^ we don't car about Porsche's around here

I spotted a Rover Sterling on Google Earth whilst browing around Brum for something (can't remember what) so after dropping Ma_Sterling off, I spontaniously decided to see if I could find this car to grab a pic, I didn't know the directions there and only had a rough idea where it was.

 

I finally found the car but could only get one snap of it, but this wasnt before unexpectedly finding 3 other Rover 800s and a driveway with about 3 rotting Citroens (2 BXs and a Xantia, there is more around the back according to GE)

 

Also had a friendly chat with the owner and father about thier spankingly clean F-reg Volvo 760GLE.

Just imagine a petite blondie student with tight fitting denem shorts that have ridden up, Giggity Giggity Goo!

One of the cats disappeared on saturday which isn't like him at all, anyway we've just found him trapped under some shelves in someones garage down the road - Wasn't expecting to see him again. Unfortunately he's covered in fuggin gearbox oil so stinks even worse than usual, but he's not dead or owt which is obviously GR9.

[Cavcraft]

/\

That is good news, get him watch this to cheer him up a bit...

 

 

 

Good news for me is that tomorrow is payback day for some lying fucking bellend. More after it's (hopefully) happened.

I'm a bellend but I've been pretty honest recently so I reckon I'm safe. Do remember to fill us in though!

[Cavcraft]

Oh I will do. Another small advance has been made this morning as I attempt an Autoshite 419 Eating.

I am not a cat fancier, watched that and started to grin, watched again and started laughing. It is brilliant!!

And looking forward to the payback.

Are you sure you didn't spill gearbox oil on him before hiding in your neighbour's garage to avoid the wrath of 'er indoors?

Had perhaps the best spotting moment ever in Morrisons car park, I'll provide pictures in my end of May spots update. We were in a queue waiting for a parking space at Morrisons when I spotted a Sierra Sapphire and hopped out to get a picture while Dad parked. Got a nice picture of said Sapphire when a Ford Orion drove past me, papped that and looked up to see a Mk3 Cavalier parked in front of me, papped that and a Mk3 Astra estate like the one my brother recently owned drove past and so I papped that too. It was very exciting, my days are packed* with exciting* moments like this.

Not sure if this is a grin or a grump but it's not often I'm stumped by a question about cars on a TV show. Was watching Only Connect and one of the sets on the connecting wall consisted of Phantom, Interceptor, Dignity and Equus, which stuck-up cow Victoria Coren said were all luxury cars. Rolls-Royce Phantom and Jensen Interceptor are fair enough but be honest, how many of you shiters have heard of a Mitsubishi Dignity or Hyundai Equus? I certainly haven't so a team of non-car enthusiasts wouldn't stand a chance with something so obscure.

thats the point of only connect - obscure knowledge and connections

More pikey shenanigans.
