What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[myglaren]

Thanks chaps. Well, two of you anyway.  

 

I'm keen to get my hands on more chod for testing purposes. If anyone with suitable chod is planning to go to the Cosford for the Citroen XM/Autoshite meet thing, then I'm all ears.

I'll be there in my C5 if that is a suitable subject Ian.

I fear I might end up spoilt for choice! Or running out of battery power. One of the two.

Went to Daytona Speedway last Friday and took the opportunity for a 3 lap ride along with Richard Petty driving experience. For about $140 you get 3 laps of the circuit and hit speeds of 170 mph along the back straight. Must say I was grinning all the way round. If you're feeling really flushed with cash you can sign up to drive a car too.

 

Here's me trying to climb into the Chevy thing, which isn't easy when they make you wear a neck brace and you can't move your head at all.

On the train to London earlier, sat in the quiet coach, got to Colchester and some twat got on, sat just across from me and started gabbing in a loud irritating whiny Essex voice to the poor bloke sat next to him about flight simulators and aircraft systems.  Proper nerdy stuff too, too nerdy even for me.  The bloke next to him was politely feigning interest; everyone else in the carriage was doing that very British thing of making pissed off noises and giving a death stare to the back of this twit's head, but not actually saying anything.

 

Anyway, the train gets to Seven Kings, and the bloke says "looks like we're coming up to my stop".  Turns out he was on his way to Chelmsford for a meeting,  and he was so busy gabbing on that he'd missed the conductor's announcement that the train was non-stop from Colchester to Liverpool Street.  Cue a rather embarrassing phone call to his boss to say he was going to miss most of the meeting.

 

Schadenfreude.

[dollywobbler]

To be fair, I did only amend my sig link this evening!

[DS20]

This evening's meeting at work ended EARLY! Hurrah!

[Sloth in a bowl]

The Wobbler has a good voice for TV.

 

Face for radio obvs, but a good voice...

 

 

 

Chris Goffey is still to this very day, ashamed that he never had the balls to go the full Dollywobbler on his beard style.

Sitting in my pants eating toast and watching Bergerac, I know, living the life, eh?

Anyway some pretty cool Taxis on Jersey in 87/88;

OMG late plate madness too (it's probably a fake reg though).

[Danblez]

Bwahahahaha! Conversation happening on porsche924 OC site discussing the fact they are next to the Autoshite stand at the Manc Classic Car show this weekend.

 

"Not sure autoshite is what we want to be associated with!"

 

 

[dollywobbler]

You may be distressed to learn that much of the silly beard has gone...

 

On the plus side, it no longer gets caught in the zip of my jackets! Yay!

I didn't know we were even having a stand!  Maybe I should take the slightly-scabby Mercury down and really give them something to whinge about?

I saw this episode this afternoon, Jim visits Salisbury for a brief part of this programme.

Too late!

The new Jackie Evancho CD that was dispatched 3 days ago has still failed to materialise

 

On the other hand Amazon are streaming it free

 

Incredible voice and musical ability, especially considering she is still only 14.

 

 

â†ÂThat's her with Muhammed Ali a few years ago.

[Pillock]

Why does having a stand next to something associate you with them? It's not like they're sharing a stand.

 

Who's taking what that will leave a massive pool of vital fluids and a not inconsiderable amount of iron oxide behind?

 

Is it too late for an "All 924s are shit" special edition sticker?

[EssDeeWon]

or "All 924's are really Scirocco's"

[320touring]

or "All 924's are really Scirocco's"

Its not a 924, its an LT sports...

[Pillock]

Take an LT35 and put Porsche logos on it.

[andy18s]

How about an "LT35 Inside" sticker

[skattrd]

Leaving a black cloud of soot all over an new Audi who had been sitting up my arse on a single carriage way ...  it made me grin.
