MrSavvy began farty fartying under the box today.... OMG£££UNOBTANIUMEX.

 

I'm on a few days break, in Carlisle, so googled ex shops and found Bryan Fell Ex.

No way I'd go to a chain ex QF.

 

Drop in on spec - up on lift, good poke, magic rhinopoo slapped around centre butt join, drop & reverse out.

 

£NIX ;)

 

 

well happy..... I have to split & regasket 'slowtime', but still eminently $hiteworthy result.

Is the answer "halibut"??

Reading through MotorSport magazine and seeing Ratdat and his Cherry Europe. Wasn't expecting that!

Lol. Reading that is like being 16 again and trying to understand an exam paper. All the words are readable, they just don't make sense.

 

:lol:

Surely if you wanted a woman to decorate her tools, you'd just get her to wear gloves over her wanking spanners?

It's sad that it's made me happy, but I've managed to SORN the Vectra as the tax expires Monday and the bleeding MOT. I can now run it down to my preferred garage and leave it there for months while I save up the money needed.

Ordinarily, I would get it taxed and tested asap and laugh in the (angry) face of my missus when she checked the current bank balance, but even her normal 'WOTEVS' manner would change instantly into ONE OF THOSE LOOKS due to impending financial meltdown.

Summer Fun Day at work... righto...

 

Normally I'd not bother with any of this team building malarky but decided to this time knowing that 99% of our department are miserable dogs.

 

So shorts, Hawaiian shirt, a matching Lei and a big straw hat topped off with my scruffy everyday DeWalt boots.  :mrgreen:

Bought a HP 4050 laser printer off evilbay, spares or repairs for 11 quid delivered. Listing implied it was out of the shite cupboard, but spares just in case it doesn't work.

 

Hmmm, no toner cart, top door falls off and a lot of small plastic parts fall out as well as a substantial looking roller. It's a dud then. For giggles I plugged it in, added a used toner and it prints! Amazeballs!!! 770,000 pages on the clock.

 

If there was such a thing as old printer banger racing I'd want a HP. Must be nearly indestructible.

Remembered the car boot sale today. Got a Bronski Beat LP for £1, love Small Town Boy and now I get to hear some others they did.

 

Such a different experience to downloading album after album and having thousands of songs to choose from on itunes.

 

Long live vinyl!

Charity shops and car boot sales are like vinyl Russian roulette but you get a lot of bargains. 

Been collecting for 2 years and I've amassed 1300!

|Found my camera today, lovely Nikon 'bridge' camera which has been lost for the last year. In it were my log in details for photobucket so I've been posting random piccys all over the forum. Not much really, but it made me smile!

I've had records as long as I can remember, before even... I had a Fisher Price record player that played nursery rhymes like a music box!

Its rained a lot here today.

A lot.

 

Coming home this evening a young blade in an old mid-spec Focus saloon went charging past me in the left hand lane here.

A few minutes later I found him looking sheepish facing the wrong way in the middle of road here.

Possibly lift off oversteer but certainly driving like a dick.

Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson without the usual damage to metal or flesh.

^^^^ Whenever I see those now, I chuckle at the old 'my vegetarian friends wont travel in it' thing from way back when.

No picture unfortunately but I saw an actual MG6 today driven by a chap who I can only assume paid money for it and wasn't borrowing it from the dealership or something. It was in a nice copper orange shade and looked quite good, in a bland sort of modern car way.

It's the first one I've seen outside of an MG meet or dealer.

I saw one today at a car show (dealer stand) in that nice copper colour! I even sat in an MG3 as well.....horrible dark hard plastic dash and interior.

Posted

I've seen one with a private plate on it! 

Also a couple of MG3s, which I keep mistaking for small Renaults from a distance. (The inverse is also true of new Méganes).

Posted

There's a chap a few doors down from my in laws with a black MG6, it's the only one I ever see about though.

I saw a silver Monza GSE too, Id just relented and parked mine up, and set off to town on my push bike!
