wuvvum Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 A grump that turned into a grin. I've been doing overtime at work to help out a department I used to work in which has been left in the shit when members of staff have departed and left a clusterfuck behind them. Today my head of department came up to me and said she'd had a query from the payroll guys as there was a discrepancy in my overtime submission for April. Looked into it and it turned out I'd somehow managed to lose count of how many hours I'd done and had gone over what I had been authorised to do. Which pissed me off somewhat - I don't mind the work but I'm fucked if I'm doing it for free. When I got back from lunch the boss came back to see me and said "I've sorted it with payroll, I've just authorised the extra hours - I don't mind, they're not coming out of my budget..." Not gonna complain at that... somewhatfoolish, Tickman, Sealtainn and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 What made me grin on Sunday: commentating at Silverstone on a mixed saloon and GT race for 70s and 80s cars. The field consisted of a horde of Porsches and BMWs, Camaros, Sierra Cosworths, a Skyline, and various other impressive machines, but what made me grin was at the back of the grid were a Peugeot 309 and...an MG Montego!

BorniteIdentity Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I've just seen that, in the browser tab for Autoshite, there's a little Ford Sierra bASe. This has made me extraoirdinarily happy. Well done everyone. PS - here's a little pic of her from last year. Hoping to get the engine rebuilt in the next few weeks so we can get back on the road!

Zelandeth Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 In a fit of silliness this afternoon I decided (on private ground of course) to do a V-Max test run in the van. As much as anything to see if the fact that it seems to breathe better with the new (loud) exhaust is in fact all in my head or not. Previously she would top out at 74-76mph (Speedo wobbles a bit). Was astonished to see an indicated 83mph today (Speedo max is 90). The horrible steering wobble north of 70 has gone now too which is nice. That's a pretty respectable showing I reckon for a vehicle of a type that is usually seen at 50 tops! No, I will not be doing the same with the Invacar any time soon. This was silly, childish and irresponsible...even in a nice stable, well engineered vehicle with good brakes...gave myself an almighty slap to the face after I was done.

dollywobbler Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 This 2CV has a fresh MOT. So what? Well, check the MOT history. No, it hasn't been clocked. Yes, it really has done 70,000 miles in two years. It was driven to China, then the full length of the Americas. My mate Chang did the trip with his wife and small child. I'm looking forward to meeting up with them again in Croatia this summer. Some highlights of that trip. Bolivia. Up in the Yukon some months earlier.

myglaren Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Nacho Soup Quote Last Friday, while Holly and I were having drinks with another couple, Holly stated that she and I never argue. "That's not true," I said, "We argue every day." "Don't lie," Holly responded, "that's not arguing, that's just you being a dickhead." As such, I decided to write down every argument that Holly and I have this week to prove, contrary to Holly's statement, I actually show an impressive degree of patience, self restraint and logic when presented with the exact opposite. meshking, Tadhg Tiogar and Crusty Sills 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just handed my notice in at my company, felt bloody good, especially as i can say goodbye to the heap of junk Daf I'm driving. New job is local, similiar hours, but a 5k payrise! I'm having a celebratory cream cake and posh coffee.

vulgalour Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 One of the yellow headlights in the BX went pop today. Sad times. Happily, Dean is a forward thinking sort of a seller and had left a spare pair of perfectly good not-yellow headlights in the glovebox. Free fixes are the best fixes. dean36014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the most fantastic flying jacket you’ve ever seen - must have been a genuine B3 item. Anyway, he was in the same vehicle run as me. Said some lovely things about my old heap and then disappeared. Turns out he went to Mongolia in this. 1959 Berkley. 350 ish [EDIT - 400cc] If everyone can stop being nervous of taking their old car down the road that’d be great! vulgalour, Exiled_Tat_Gatherer, dome and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightBulbFun Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 surely 350 is a typo? still shows up as 328cc! either way pretty epic stuff (the salt flat 2CV shot is something!) richardthestag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Sorry. Too much fucking gin. I meant CC. I did a bit more digging and they changed it to a Honda 400cc engine. No reverse gear but it’s so light you can just lift it up and walk backwards. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmasters Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Social meedjya posts along the lines of: Car wanted, must have MOT and be less than 1.6. Up to £700. Translation: Please sell me your fucked pile of shite worth, at most, £100, for £700, then dispose of your prepaid mobile in the nearest canal.
