beko1987 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 That's 53 out, time to get ready for work. The loft is so fucking empty and there's still 20 more I can get, not sure I want to unbox all the cylinders that are packed away though so it might not be everything I have... Could pull 5 out the shed too... willswitchengage, paulplom, Tickman and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have the orange wet 'n' dry Vax which everyone seemed to have in the 1990's. Well I say everyone, my mom had two of them. Cleaned the carpet apparently, but it still stayed brown.

Zelandeth Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Well I was expecting someone to go bidding this into the stratosphere because the front panel would make a nice wall ornament in a trendy office...However this happened. Not going to complain about that! Even counting van hire I still consider that a bargain. Have wanted a 1215 for bloody years, never thought I'd manage to find one though. strangeangel, somewhatfoolish, adw1977 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burraston2006 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Bought my son a 15 year old Polo 6 months ago to learn to drive in. MOT today. Only failed on a cv boot.

Andyrew Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Workshop door has always had a dodgey door handle. Over the past decade is been "fixed" in various ways. Today required a boot to the door to get in so I had to splash out. I went to my local fittings supplier (next door handily). I opted for a more classic style. myglaren, hairymel, barefoot and 11 others 6 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrew Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 2 more grins, got the 2nd small patch finally lobbed in the disco. Fast and dirty as the floors pretty crispy. Also spoke to some nice people at kielder today and they have offered to take a look at this hateful peice of shit. I hope it comes back sorted as I love my little impact gun from them. sierraman, paulplom, Cavcraft and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Been carefully* cementing round the edge of my council lock-up as it's been leaking water from the garage next door for years. Got into the other one at the same time, and concreted along the edge of that. Result, it's worked. Today I did the other side of the leaking garage and the back edge to try and stop it resembling a paddling pool, then carried on using the left over cement to do the little sort of 'step' outside the lock-up to make it easier to push cars in when required. It looked pretty shit, but I got the 'ramp' quite smooth so stood back to admire my handiwork, before ten minutes later parking the car outside, forgetting about the concrete and getting a lovely Vauxhall Astra tyre mark straight through said concrete.

Typical Vauxhall’s trick of marking its territory, makes a change for the usual oil drop. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Jetter Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 On way home tonight, like a good boy I turned engine off waiting at level crossing, only to be thanked by a flat battery when train was passing. The grin? Some decent fella thumped on back window and started pushing - I got out and helped and then got back in and bumped it. Should really have stopped to thank him properly but didn't want to risk stalling it... paulplom, auntiemaryscanary, coupso and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roobarb Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Very lucky day today. Went to pick up snow tyres for my daily and a friend offered (as I sorely hoped he would) to give me a lift back... Introducing his latest limited edition Mustang Bullitt with a mere 480bhp and less than a couple of weeks old. Amazing ride with scary out of the box power. Great lines too. Makes other muscle cars look like toys... And that sound! Happy days. danthecapriman, shedenvy, myglaren and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

155V6 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just took Miss_155's Peugeot 307 for a Mot,it failed on a leaking rear shock.Not bad considering it's been off the road for nearly 3 years as she doesn't really drive anymore & I've always got a couple of other cars. It felt like driving round in a wardrobe after my Puma & ZR though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
