What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Slappy]

Just been channel hopping, caught the titles of ITV's The Undriveables and saw my driving instructor!

 

I passed first time I should add, but then I learnt to drive, not to pass. Still, she was pretty good, with a proper dark sense of humour at times!

My Avantime has sold to a well known international chod botherer. It's not cost me anything other than the strut top mount and some spark plugs so I can't really complain. I'm really glad i owned it, flippin great car. It makes it's replacement look all the more depressing.

[inconsistant]

If you're in the market for some Mercedes Benz bunting and you want to know what sort of epic pedant you're going to be dealing with up front you could do a lot worse than this t&c-tastic listing:

Perhaps you'd like to now sample a faster one?

I'm glad to hear that's sold. I was getting quite tempted by it despite having nowhere to put it.

[cort16]

I wouldn't be selling this one if it wasn't for the fact I couldn't get it on a cheap policy.

[Semi-C]

^^^^ 20 Mercedes thongs for me please.

I changed the leaking 'P' gasket on my Discovery today, which means that the last 2-3 months' structural rebuild & fettling session is now officially finished!

 

(apart from welding up the slight weep on the front diff casing, that is... and getting the gearbox reconditioners to sort out the still-crunching 2nd gear...)

[catsinthewelder]

My Disco passed it's MOT today, only advisory was that the molegrips I'd left clamped underneath (rear seat mounting bolts snapped in the captive nuts) were now in the boot # I'm a fuckwit etc

[cms206]

A neighbour of mine has outshat me - I can't compete with a beige D-reg Riva SLX. I can still fap to it though...

After a week, two trips to Maplin, three soldering sessions, one hacksaw, one afternoon of dismantling and a screwdriver stab to the hand I finally have a working illuminated vanity mirror for the passenger.

I'm chuffed to bucking fits.

Jesus wept, what a bag of laughs he is. Top find!

[Pillock]

Brown parcel tape? BROWN? I'm out.

I just read that Mercedes thong listing in my head in a nasal monotone voice to imagine the seller

Popped to Asda to grab the frozen dvd for me daughter. Decided that we really could do with a new DVD player too, so picked up a HDMI upscaling LG job for £35. Then SWMBO bought a frozen doll for £40! Expensive this spoiling your child lark, hope she's been good, not wasting £85 worth of shit cos she's had a paddy...

[purplebargeken]

M25 this morning on the way to St. Albans........ I passed a car that I didn't recognise. Sort of Audi/BMW shaped. I then spotted the name plate.

 

TESLA. It was a model S, very nice indeed but a tad salty at £75,000.

Huh?  You'd think they'd be cheaper frozen, like mixed veg and chickens are.

 If you don't speed, you don't pay. 

Don't ever say that, anyone who has said that in the history of evah gets a speeding fine.

As for local authority parking control, mostly disgusting corrupt scum run by the offspring of the filthy cowards that hid under their mothers skirts while a couple of wars went down last century. I base this opinion on 15 years of driving all over the country gathering spurious tickets. My problem with them is that they don't deal effectively with parking, just whatever makes the most profit, which doesn't help us. See also litter wardens getting in a flap over fag butts not chav Maccy D detritus and pitbull turds.

That's nothing, I saw a Jago jeep on the way to work, it was very freaky and the plastic windows looked like it would make for an epic winter beater of distinction.

[vulgalour]

If you're able to be grimly determined to enjoy even the most miserable vehicle then a Jago anything is indeed an EWBoD.

Remains to be seen if it'll have any effect on the blatant anti-competitive practices that have [allegedly, m'lud] been going on.

I've just put a 1988 tax disc in the polo ready for tomorrow,my mate suggested putting a 1957 disc in to confuse the norms even more

I took the tax disc out of the Prelude today. Decided it looked all wrong without it and put it back again. I think I will leave it there forever.

Spoken like a 2CV driver...

Spoken like someone who's not seen how much fun I can have within the speed limit in my 2CV...

[wuvvum]

Hey, I've had three 2CVs, I know exactly how much fun you can have without ever going over 68mph.

Great Glaven's ghost, what a twonk.

 

 

The auction is prima facie.

What does that even mean???

It's something to do with cheap balaclavas isn't it?

'Will be packed in bubble wrap, or the equivalent'........

Oh dear....

Seller sounds like he/she may be a solicitor. Actual goods worth 50 pee. Legal jargon will cost ££££s.

Where did you get a period tax disc?
