What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Noel Tidybeard]

An old neighbour popped round last night to see whether we wanted a couple of tons of free firewood. That's worth a grin in itself, but this is what he dropped it off with this morning!

Those wheels are history as soon as I can get up to the abode of E. Cabbage Esq and score a set of 205 pepperpots.

Just spent the whole evening on YouTube watching clips of BTCC races from the mid 90's.

 

I'd forgotten how friggin mental they were. BRILLIANT.

Was a superb morning for chod spotting this morning!

 

A G reg silver sierra hatch, looked very VERY clean, but looked very original

Some old dear driving an R reg green Xantia

A D reg escort 3 door that I've seen before but it was parked further up the road this morning, so I drove past it

[vulgalour]

It really has been a great chod spotting day.  Spied a pistachio Minor, a turqoise Rover 100 and sat behind this on my way to get oil for the Renault.

Following on from the other day.

I went and picked up my special ordered exhaust. Can't argue at £28, took it straight in to the garage and had it done in about 15 mins.

 

I touched the old one when it was off and it just fell apart to this

Someone must have majorly spied their arse to have lobbed that off a ship in the Mersey.

Is that how Rimmers do deliveries now?

[MarvinsMom]

passed a bright orange mini clubman (a real one not that fuckin' german thing) when passing through Sheffield on the A1 this morning and it put a proper grin on my face this morning, it was the one interesting vehicle on the road that i saw on the way to Nottingham.

Roll on home time!

In other news, Domestic Management is watching an ancient repeat of Ground Force from around the turn of the millennium.  The amount of chod in the establishing sequence was very gratifying.

 

And my admiration for Charlie Dimmock is unrestrained...

Because I am a child, I found this far too fucking funny....

it should be on the grump, but since Ground Force went off air, Charlie and her dimmocks have got old, and fat...

I'd still like to weed her herbaceous border.

Tonight in NW London. Quite literally amazing.

 

[Coprolalia]

Beautiful.

 

One for the calendar.

[seth]

My photo but sadly not my car so I think not in the running for the calendar.  You have to tell me what it is anyway and if anyone says Sunbeam Rapier they will get taken outside and shot.

Talking of welding, I needed to weld up a gap between two pieces of metal tonight and couldn't be bothered to connect up the bottle so tried the reel of flux cored that came with the welder. Not only did I manage to connect the two pieces but It was a better weld than I have been getting with the gas..... Why do I always find supposedly more difficult things easier than the simple things? story of my life...

It did make me grin though ....

Throwing the reg into a parts dealers site says it is a 1962 N/A Model N/A with the famous N/A engine.

I saw a local postie driving a grim green Talbot Samba the other day.

 

I predict that some letters will be delivered later than expected.

The beauty of this place is that I get to see some amazing/shite cars I had never heard of but somehow raises a twitch in my staypressed

This (in my humble opinion) ts one of the funniest clips on YouTube.

Today I made the final payment on a business loan I took out FIFTEEN years ago.  A business that imploded because my health went down the toilet and my partner at the time was a massively abusive arsehole.  Now I'll be funelling those payments into my savings account.  I last had savings when I was 18 and my life has been such a mess since then it's taken until now, when I'm 34, to get back to the start again.  I feel good about today so let's hope this winning streak continues with the Renault jobs I'm doing in a bit.
