There was a G reg (copy) outside work on Friday. Sounded immense at idle!

That car sounds nice and has under floor pipes fitted. I did 50 miles later that day in a Shelby with race side pipes and my ears felt like I had been at a Motorhead concert!

Does anyone remember wondering what a ‘trombelise’ was in 1997? 

ha! I thought it was that for years until someone told me it was actually 'strong beliefs'. I pretended that I knew it was that all along...

I assumed it was some sort of French musical instrument, possibly a small trombone or something involving tiny cymbals.

I mentioned to my wife that I wanted to buy this 4x4 kei truck off ebay.

Image 11 - SUZUKI CARRY 4x4 ( not ATV, quad, MULE, UTV, etc.)

And she said it was a good idea 😮

I think I was just laying the groundwork, as I would rather have an automatic one direct from japan and put some sort of strange camper body on the back. Pulling the fibreglass bit off a rotten romahome would be perfect.

An ex colleague used to sing " My brothers got some money - he got it from the leeds."

My wife would love a romahome 

I suppose age and rot has saved me from owning one ....

I've seen 2 of those here. Both broken.

 

Here they're used as utility vehicles, much the same as you'd buy a lawnmower or shovel, they're used for hauling tools and junk around the farm

It's two polar opposite channels JM is a complete twat but Laurie, the long haired chap with a beard who used to appear on his channel was excellent.  Ian is ace but it's far better without the hairy twat 😂

I wouldn't say he's a complete twat, there are definitely elements of his game that could be improved upon for him to get to the proper twat element - as demonstrated by that Hoovie clown.

1991 Buick, brought along by our old friend Junkman.  He had got wind of my plastic kit sale, and ordered some; today he collected, and took away some diecasts too.  It was great to see him again!  (And his Buick is gorgeous!)

Not seen him for ages, last time I spoke to him at Cholomonoondey he hadn't a clue who I was 😅 ... bearing in mind I've sat co-pilot in his P6 when we were visiting Jon and his Amazon

I've got that too, great little tool. Yeah, the M18s are more powerful but this can get in places they can't!

Exactly why I picked it. It'll be more useful getting to awkward stuff, than a bigger one that could break your wrist.

The M12 system also lets you get one of their cordless ratchets which is rapidly becoming one of my favourite tools.
