Guest Hooli Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 A dead Goona2 was causing traffic on my way home from work yesterday. I couldn't help but smile & think I'm glad I don't have one anymore. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I am now at last in a position where I can buy the parts for the Camry estate. Just placed a £320 order for a load of Blueprint/KYB stuff, now to book it in and get it fitted. With fingers crossed that they can fix everything with what I’ve bought, I’m going book it into the next RAF Marham trackday. For the sake of £70 it’s probably worth a speculative punt, and if not I’ll just go in one of the others and blag some rides out. Very pleased to be finally getting somewhere with it.Did you run any 'hard to source' parts through Mick's Garage, Ireland?Got the full set of dampers for my Toyyo & cheap! - no local factor could find the part no... let alone an actual part!!

M'coli Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Alfa Romeos! A call from Philibusmo and Petrolize this afternoon led them to my place to dump Phil's Alfa v6 at my house and borrow my 1994 Mazda to carry on their long journey to Auckland. Much water was consumed by the Alfa and a decision was made to swop for something reliable to save the head gaskets exploding. And goodbye to Petrolize , it has been a pleasure to know you. He will be back in Scottish land in about 2 1/2 weeks. I have this delight to care for tonight, But they forgot to leave the keys. phil & paul 002.JPG And as Petrolize is leaving the country I can publish his photo without fear of retribution. Philibusmo drives Petrolize to the Airport. phil & paul 001.JPGPhilbusmo looks as if he's not far off needing these: STUNO, Bucketeer and KruJoe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative Creep Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Anyone remember that story of the pensioner that attracted the ire of his village for buying a yellow car? It was later vandalised but he still refused to get rid of it, and today there was a big yellow car rally in support of him http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-39456449 STUNO, doobietoo, Rusty_Rocket and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Went to a chocolate fair in Coventry and had a wander around the Fargo thing it was held in.

bramz7 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just called my insurance to change over the car, (more later), and after being told a 1 litre AX was more to insure than my BX, I was pleased to hear my new purchase is less! Same engine as the BX too.....And i didn't get charged an admin fee this time. brickwall and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangeangel Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 So there's a couple of local community Facebook groups I need to keep an eye on for work... now I fucking hate Facebook and all it stands for, so there's no way they're getting my details, hence I register with a bogus name. All works well for a week or so, until it refuses to let me in, saying I need to verify my identity. Again, there's no way they're getting any personal info off me, so I ignore this for a week or so, and then I started to wonder... if they make a lot of these requests, I bet they don't have a real-live human checking them? So I get on the web and find a student union card... MS Paint was used to doctor the details, although I left the picture of the girl on cos I was too lazy to change it. Then I decided a birth certificate would be good. Choosing my favourite design, I filled it in and sent them both to Facebook: It worked DVee8, KruJoe, Lacquer Peel and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I royally smoked someone off at the lights before, they followed me for about 1.5 miles and pulled in 20 yards away from where I parked.

Pillock Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 As well as buying the Puma book, there was a guy who rents a unit at Coventry Fargo Village who paints pictures using RC cars. Splots a load of paint on a canvas, drives cars around in it to paint. Seriously talented. Also had a great big Scalextric and he seems to keep all the dead cars he's used.

meggersdog Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 went out olli-ing at Tixover Quarry today.My mate got his car stuck in the water so I reversed down to him and hooked a rope on the Discovery and began dragging him out.It's a steep slope with a large rut half way up.I hit the rut and BANG no drive.Oh bugger.Two trailered petrol cars sounding very poorly due to deep water and my car was driven there but now won't.Hang on a minute, the Nokia 6110 was on charge in the centre console infront of the high/low lever.Going up the slope then dipping down into the rut dislodged the (heavy and robust) phone which knocked the transfer box into neutral.

Timewaster Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Tixover is great. I haven't been for years. Last time my mates Hilux breathed it's last in the deep water. That was the time the AA guy just laughed at us and drove off. Rusty_Rocket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
