catsinthewelder Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 That's a good point I suspect my mind is still stuck in lawnmower mode. I imagined using a plain rod and putting a thrust washer and cotter pin in it or something similarly preposterous 20 Eurines seems a bit pricey for just a wheel, I bought a wheel for a friend's lawnmower a long time back (it ate the old one) and I have a vague memory of it costing something daft like 4 quid. I'd prefer something wider for this but like that would do. I was thinking maybe to put 2 on the back and do some sort of plate for it to sit on at the front, in a kind of tip it up and go kind of thing, but If they are indeed that cheap I might go mad and buy 4. Hey, you only live, er, what was it? Freecycle for an old pushchair and see what turns up, you can weld now so don't need to buy things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 In addition to my post in the Grump thread about radio, I have discovered that the radio in my Corsa picks up LW frequency and it hums along to the alternator, and the wipers.

Split_Pin Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 After being subject to some alarming road rage last week I decided that I couldnt put off the purchase of a dash cam any longer. However I am a bit short right now so have attached my Iphone to the sunvisor with 2 elastic bands. I press record before I start the engine and stop when I turn it off so hopefully thats all legal. Plus I dont have to muck about uploading stuff to my laptop, which is half dead anyway.

Taff Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Last nights' work Christmas do was truly splendid - Free bar all night, 5 course dinner, casino, dodgems, burlesque show and disco followed by a night in the local Hilton to spare me the 50 mile trip home...happy days. And as it's payday I braved the Black Friday crowds and treated myself to a new watch I know a Burlesque dancer in Pompey... Met another shiter tonight while collecting a stack of classic car mags from richardmorris.That's a 100% record of all the shiters I've met thusfar being good eggs! Don't worry, we will meet soon enough My grin is payday, a full tank of pez in the F and enough spare cash to book an MoT for the X1/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I dont have to muck about uploading stuff to my laptop, which is half dead anyway.I also want a dash cam, but after some funny road rage.Stretch of new dual carriageway, that now extends on about 1/4 of a mile past a new roundabout, busy Sunday traffic means 1st lane is stopped with nothing in 2nd lane all the way to the roundabout. A self righteous vigilante in 308 estate pulls into 2nd lane and stops in front of me in an Eddie Stobart in a motorway lane closure style.I sound the horn ,he stamps on brake, I put my hand on horn , he half opens his door , I sound horn again.This is childish and stupid,but fun. He gets out and shouts , as if he's Scarface, "Beep at me again Motherfucker!!"Now I should mention Mrs N is in the car and is pissing herself, she then reaches over and beeps the horn...He goes mental, literally jumping up and down, swearing and screaming . Then just as he's getting back in ,yes ,I'm a child, I beep again.This time he ran towards us and kicked the wheel of Mrs N's Gaylander( you don't think I'd wind people up like this in my car do you?)I got out and got so close to his face ( partly so he couldn't get a weapon out of his pocket or summat) I could smell his breakfast, and whispered ,so that none of the camera phone wielding onlookers could hear' Go on take a swing,guess who's going to get arrested when the Old Bill turn up'Luckily,cause I'm a crap fighter, he bottled it and got back in the 308, whilst he was composing himself I bounced up the central reservation and round him, got to the roundabout and turned right.I should feel guilty about almost causing the bloke to have a stroke , but I'm guessing if he's that tightly wound he'll probably have one before he's 40 anyway. mercrocker, cms206, MarvinsMom and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarvinsMom Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 them little copen's are i think ace, but aren't they badly prone to rot in the floor pans, or is that something i dreamt? what with them been mainly for the JDM i thought that they weren't especially well protected for this country as the japs don't go putting copious amounts of salt on their roads each and every winter. but tonight i've been and got some derv on the way home, having paid for the fuel i came out to the sight of an L plate R8 shaped honda concerto fuelling up next to a mark 3 cavalier, which was also on an L. just like, say it would have been back in the 1990's. no pic though cos i've not gat a camera with me....

Apparently I'm inappropriate and crass, and "asking for a kicking". **SCARED** Tell me something I don't know you gormless emo fucknuckling pisswipe. STORY Met a lass who I've known for donkey's years - she's been a good mate, we've leant on each other at various points, and no, we've never done IT, although between you and me, I would. (But my standards are, well, I have none).Anyway, she'd been having problems with her belly and surrounding areas, and last time I saw her, she was being tested for all sorts of stuff, Crohns, Lactose Intolerance, Gluten Intolerance, Coeliac, Diabetes, you name it.Turns out she's got a series of tests next week and needs to take a poo and blood test; so I said, "Just come round to mine an hour before, and they can scrape it off my knob". Bloke who was with her - NOT her boyfriend, just a bloke she works with then made the judgement and threat above. What a wankspaniel.

Sloth in a bowl Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sunday night , PC died, I put it down to a bust PSU so ordered new one from ebuyer. Put new one in and the PC is up, running and quiet from the first time since I first built it. New PSU is rated at 850w so should never die either, last one was 600w and lasted 3 years, suspect now that the fan was dodgy from the off.

Inspector Morose Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Sorry, this is a bit of a name dropping luvvie type post. Well, I was chatting with Charlotte Church after offering her a brew when she came off stage. She looked cold so I offered her a warm up in my bus. (Really, not a euphonium) She really is a down to earth kind of girl. Quite, quite normal. Oh for another universe...
