has this place turned into the Citroen XM Owners Club?

 

 

I go away and you all go out and buy one?

[DeeJay]

^^It's either that or a Volvo.^^

Co-incidentally I had to change a bulb in the Volvo yesterday, and it took me longer to get the new bulb out the f***ing plastic packaging than it did to actually swap them over.

I have just DRIVEN the red Princess!

Was shown a lovely SD1 Vandan Plas, this afternoon.

 

I am also very partial to the *kerching!* sound on the eBay app.

[DSdriver]

I've manged to fix the cutting out problem I was having with the Scimitar, so my only issue today is do I drive that or as the sun is shining do I take the floppy top Saab.

 

I love it when a plan comes together

I hope you took the scimmy if, like us, you got a sudden hail shower this afternoon - just as Mrs_DSdriver was washing the Peugeot of last resort for the first time in almost a year.

My tape deck has arrived from Dvee8, cheers bud!

Can't wait to play my stretched, crackley meatloaf tapes in the blue 'tina.......hopefully they'll drown out the diff' thereby instantly fixing it. Yay!

^That's the best thing I've seen ALL WEEK.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Thank you. But considering the forum's tastes right now, will it outsell this title?

I saw a bloke with a bumper sticker saying:
"I Am a Vet, therefore I drive like an Animal."

Suddenly I realised how many
gynaecologists
there are on the roads!!!!!!

[hairnet]

[Keymaster]

Got a visa chargeback full refund for a lost/stolen chrimbo present that I bought for my mrs from ebay. Good.

The Rover is coming home over the weekend, much excitement.

Towbar for beige Princess arrived today much sooner than anticipated and is in very good shape needing only a fresh coat of paint and some fresh wiring for peace of mind.  All the fixings are intact, no chewed and free and even the special load-spreading fixing plates are with it and in good order.  I'm well chuffed with this, £25 well spent!

 

I'm not going to fit it until I've repainted and rewired it and got a fresh MoT on the car, needn't give the testing station more ammunition by adding testable items to the car.

[saucedoctor]

 We sent one of our taxis to Belfast City Airport a week early for a prebooked. I'm afraid that was entirely my fault

[hairnet]

bad thing is - hes a teacher

I've been whinging recently about how I can't have any of the prime chod from the eBay thread, since I live on a main road and I can't park it anywhere and moan moan cry cry life's so tough.

 

I got my daily MoT'ed today, and whilst I was at the local little garage (support your local businesses, yo) I asked if they knew of anywhere with lock-ups. Yes, yes they do. They have one spare.

 

£6 a week.

 

And it's 90 seconds walk from my house (longer if there's cars coming when I have to cross the road, like).

 

Looks like I'll be cruising the eBay thread a bit more closely now! Not got a massive budget but I reckon with the weather getting a bit nicer, I could happily have a weekend car.

The twat next door who normally parks like this if I'm over an imaginary line...

hasn't clocked that I've got a new car.

 

 

It looks like the kind of crock I would buy but he's not risking it in case it belongs to somebody less mild-mannered than me.

[richardthestag]

for twats like that I would invest in

 

 

then sprinkle liberally on roof and bonnet of afore mentioned twats motor when returning from an evening of light refreshment at the local boozer

Oh sorry, you said nice didn't you?

Night vision camera recording in the rear window, then when he nudges your car,(as he must being that close)  invoice him for bumper & rear light repairs, as recorded.

 

Should make him back off.

[Pillock]

Actually I didn't, but.... I don't like the wheel trims so I'm out. Or you're too far away. Or some shitty excuse that won't land me with a Corsa of Despair.

[tooSavvy]

What Ann AssOle...... pushy neighbour !!

Being forced to watch eastenders was slightly less traumatic by 5 seconds of capri appearance.

[mat_the_cat]

Several things today made me happy - more progress on the Stellar, the sun was out on the way back home from work (I even took a photo as proof!)...

 

 

...and I've just taxed the BX so I'll have that back on the road just as soon as I've put the front end back together. All in all a good day

Someone (preferably in authority) needs to inform him that it is illegal to park opposite a junction...
