What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

I've got an old battered about, scratched and dented Vectra diesel with a rusty door, you have a smart looking (clean) BMW Mini about three years old. If you decide to park virtually right against my door, you selfish twat, then one of us won't mind another battle scar on their car. The other one might.

EFA.

Hooray, my scanner is working!

 

Now I've finished working through the backlog of stuff to scan I realise it may have been foolish to put the scanner downstairs while my work room is upstairs, today has most definitely become 'leg day'.

I'm watching some sort of ABBA in concert thing from 1979 on CH5.  I actually believe it's physically impossible not to fancy Agnetha.

Grump and Grin - more grin than grump I think?

 

SWMBO's Micra hilariously failed it's M.o.T this week (crossmember rot, windscreen, brakes and other shizz) so we're doing a James Brown and taking it to the bridge...

 

..so a replacement is on the cards. I'm off to look at some modern-ish German shite tomorrow. OMG PINAPLEZ SLAMD DRIFT YO.

I assumed my cruise control was broken, but idly messing around with the buttons on the way home tonight suddenly caused it to spring into life (seems I had to hold pause for a few seconds) but there's no indication on the dash or display to say if it's working. After asking on the owner's club apparently there is nothing in the car to tell you it's working. Nicely thought out there Peugeot

I can never work out who's who, is that the one with the beard or the younger looking one?

Some people are easily impressed.

Last weekend there was a local car show so I dragged the old series Landy out of the field.I've been trundling about in it a bit this week but I need the car I'd left in it's place.So today I took it back down the field.My mate who owns the field was down there cutting the grass and a neighbour was chatting to him.The neighbour looks at the car then says "Is that the Land Rover that's been sat down the bottom of the field for years ?" yes it is."I'm impressed you got it going" he says." What do you mean ?" says I " It is road legal and always starts".Wow came the reply.I like the moss and cobwebs look so rarely wash it, but the car does get a run out every now and then.

Went to see City of Wells today:

 

Someone with an annoying child wanted to get on at the last minute, so they stopped again. About 2 foot from the bridge I was stood on. It's quite a blast of steam when it sets off n you're stood over it

Hey Green, what year is your other half's Micra? Might yield some useful spares. Ma's Micra is a 1998 K11 facelift.

We must have been crazy but used to stand on the bridges over the lines and be engulfed by the smoke and steam from the locomotives.

Those were the days! (1950s)

Made £125 today out of 3 hoovers! If the fuckers get collected tomorrow I'll be happy, I need fuel! Maybe one day I'll spend some of it on the ZX!

Nah, I've always been more fond of Frida (or Her Serene Highness Princess Anni-Frid Synni Reuss of Plauen to give her full title these days  ) - Agnetha has weird teeth and a crooked nose. If you ever get the chance, listen to Frida's solo stuff to really appreciate her amazing voice. Sadly at the age of 68 after three husbands she's not looking too good these days so I wouldn't, but if I had a time machine...

I recently took my Avantime to kwikshit to have the aircon regassed where they declared it broken and not holding pressure. As a result I've sweated my way through that hot spot we had a few weeks ago in what is basically a motorised green house (good news is my tomatoes are doing well).

I'm about to head off to cort sr's for a bit and didn't want cort jr melting in the car on they there so found a mobile guy on the internet who sounded like he knew his stuff but his van has snapped it's timing belt the day before. I ended up going and getting my aircon regassed out the back of the van while the garage removed that knackered cylinder head. The guy did a 30 minute vaccuum test on system and declared in top notch condition (other than it not working) then recharged the system. All for £40 and its working perfectly. He really knew his stuff unlike the kwik fit drone who just attached it to an automated system.

 

Just a quick reminder to myself to give kwik fit a bypass in the future.

Fixed that for you

I've got this booked in for saturday, owned by a nice old dear who loves it dearly. Apparently she's had it since '91, so hopefully after i tickle it with the magic sparkler it should see her to the grave.

Don't get too excited, your average bus-spotter probably has a different definition of charismatic

 

 

 

How can you recognise a charismatic bus spotter?

 

He's the one that looks at YOUR shoes while he's talking to you.

Awesome, sounds like some sort of automotive human centipede.

Letter from Barclays, great what do they want now ffs...

 

A cheque for £440.96 and also your loan is closed - It was outstanding £460.16 in July so some good luck for a change.

 

They "made a mistake so it was time to erase that mistake" they said.

 

 

Help pay off the dogs at Scottish Power a dam site easier/earlier so swings and roundabouts.
