Kiltox Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hahahaha. I think there’s a clause in the offer that says “if you’re a stupid fucking cunt and get ticked up for a V8 Mustang before completion this offer is void” NorthernMonkey, twosmoke300 and Coprolalia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Had the Cacti serviced, they didn’t mention it was overdue. Let’s hope the engine doesn’t exlode. Evans Halshaw also sent me a 5 second video saying “hi this is jack, your vehicle has no issues” I guess that’s where some of the £165 goes...

danthecapriman Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I woke up this morning and looked out the window. Something is wrong. The sky is blue and there’s some weird yellow ball in the sky! Could it actually be a nice day!? Sadly I don’t think it’s going to last much more than today though. mrbenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Some of you may know that I found a Mk2 Cavalier over here in NZ, so naturally I bought it. Admittedly, it's not a good time to do so right now, with so many broken cars but I dismissed grown up persons logic and bought it anyway. Behind my wife's back, as she's demanded a one-out-one-in policy, which is fair - unlike my actions. I hid it at a mate's house and sorted out insurance for it the other day, ensuring the policy was e-mailed to MY e-mail address, NOT hers. Today, a conversation went thus: Mrs_Jon: I got an e-mail from [insurer]. Have you called them recently? Jon: (Inward cursing of insurance incompetence) Yeah, I called them yesterday (a policy renewed recently, so I left it at that, allowing her to put two and two together) M_J: It says there's a new policy that's started. Jon: It's probably a renewal. M_J: For a Vauxhall Cavalier. Jon: (pause to think of good excuse and maintain poker face whilst nonchalantly supping a drink)....They must be mistaken. M_J: JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Jon: General apologies. The grin is that I married such an understanding woman, as that's where the conversation ended; no arguments, tantrums, shouting, tears etc. I promised to actually fix her car, not just procrastinate about it, so that probably helped. The weight of deception is off my shoulders and my remorse at lying to her in the first place has spurred me on to sort out some shiz, so WIN WIN.

He put his mistress as a named driver on his policy, only for the documents to be sent to his home address and be opened by his wife.

anonymous user Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Today I was on a train, not the grin but it was OK for once. Across from me was a classic old lady, ideal to cast as Miss Marple. I watched as she reached in her capacious bag to produce an old fashioned thermos, she then produced a decent size chunky glass tumbler and from the flask poured, not weak lemon drink, but a couple of ice cubes. Then from the bag came a full size bottle of Gordons Gin, a decent slug was added to the glass, before the tonic came out of the bag to be added. She then spent her time reading her magazine whilst taking genteel sips. She was on her third glass by the time I got off. If I hadn't been picking a car up I would have asked if I could join her.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just opening the blinds this morning, was enough for a massive grin. Dropping it off at the dealers in Newport Pagnel for a recall was quite grin inducing . The showroom waiting area looks out onto where they're making the 25 Continuation DB4 GT's . Stunning receptionist and perfect coffee too.If you're rich even going to the garage is a pleasurable experience. Back to earth with a bump when Volvo burst an intercooler pipe and I found a new one is £150 so getting one off eBay for £30.They say money can't buy you happiness... alf892 and Coprolalia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Finally got a yes from the referencing agency for our tenancy application today. Thank. God. It's so stressful attempting to rent a house now! I believe recent changes to the DPA have meant that information requests have to be signed, an email permitting is not sufficient anymore. Anyway, fingers crossed moving into our own (well, rented) house in just over a week. Already bought a load of stuff for it, now I can get on getting the bigger bits. I feel so grown up. Can probably get away with parking two cars outside too. And my commute is low single figures now!

Surprisingly ok on insurance , roughly the same price as eldest's 316 Compact and only a couple of hundred more than the other's nasty 3 pot Corsa.
