What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[hairymel]

On the way into work today I passed a Tesla Model S with the registration P1NTO, which I thought was an odd choice.

 

Part of me hopes there's an old Sierra somewhere out there registered as B477ERY to restore equilibrium to the universe.

I'm currently watching some "That's so... 1989" program on Channel 5 which features some warrior grade shite!

"The body needs treatment, and so will the new owner" says the commentator.

I just watched this on +1 I especially liked the red xr3 with the ravers in, there really was some solid gold shite on there

[trigger]

There was also a Phase 1 R5 GTT in blue which made me shout out Corrrr!

[fordperv]

Yep I was oofing at that as well

XM's battery died on Thursday: GSF 41% discount on Friday, therefore, bigger, more powerful replacement bought and fitted for under £50.

^^^^They're not telling you to buy a C-max

 

Yes they are.  This is Autoshite.

 

 

 

Worst fuel consumption i have ever had was an Austin Champ,was 2 to 3 gallons per mile across country

 

Maybe, but no cooler-looking vehicle has ever been made.

Hovercraft, elderly tube train and floaty car were today's methods of transport.

Two of which I'd like to experience again.

 

It used to be that if you got over to the IOW early, then you could get a day bus ticket and do the whole island circuit on double deckers with several good stop off points before needing to head back to civilisation as the sun dropped.

Been meaning to do that again one day.

I know we are not supposed to like TV let alone the adverts but the new Aldi Valentines advert with the veggie bird did make me grin.....

I was bored last week and applied for a job i'm not qualified for, yesterday she left a voicemail "Sat at 10, interview."

 

 

Eh, might as well get some use out of my suit.

 

 

Wow, so the job was at a main dealer on sales. (Who shall remain nameless) 

 

"Target is 14 cars a month" @ £10 per car for the first 7 cars and then it goes up to £20 etc. Sell 30 cars and it goes up to £95 a car. (I believe its backdated to all cars)

 

If I sell Gap insurance I get £15 a car, upholstery bollocks £25 a car.

 

I haven't got it in me to rip people off.

Barbara on holiday with the lads. Somehow they obeyed her when she said to "get in the back seat and have some fun"

It's annoying me that newer ford scene kids are following vag trends creating a proper sheep culture of modifying

[D Spares & Tyres]

What makes me grin is that fashion will change in a few years and although stuff like that Fiesta will be long gone, all these Beetles and VW Campers will have deteriorated badly and these twats will be spending thousands having them welded and shotblasted to make shiny again ☺

yesterday, I taught a polish girl at work the phrase "arsebiscuits"

[The Moog]

AVM an offshoot of the SVM

 

[Richard]

Does somebody want to buy a pair of V70 headlights?

[Dippy]

Got to play with the Princess all day again today and now the underside is all welded and painted, so now I can start putting a bit of it back together and get rid of some of the huge pile of parts lying around.

 

Also got another full day planned tomorrow so may start repiping the brakes which is far more fun than the dirty work.

yesterday, I taught a polish girl at work the phrase "arsebiscuits"

When I was living/working in Kirkcaldy, I got sent to a sister factory in the former E Germany along with some of the locals to train the German staff our way of doing things

We obviously learnt some of the language,and taught some to our colleagues

1 girl came into work one morning and had a pop at us after we had taught her a traditional Scottish greeting,which she had greeted her English speaking husband with

"Oh Aye y' Cunt,an wher th Fuck av U bin ?????"   did not go down too well in suburban Nordhausen !!!!

I've literally just stuck a polite but firm note on my next door neighbor's car. They park on the curb outside my house a couple of times a week.
It's an ugly, cheap little car and I don't like waking up to see it there! These people have a driveway of their own but they have too many vehicles so think they have the right to spread outside of their territory.
It makes me so angry. I'm not the type to make a fuss or cause conflict but I've had enough. I wouldn't dream of having the cheek to park outside someone else's house!    

 

This was on a mumsnet type site full of parking raves. Imagine having that living next door

Today I received some unsolicited 1970's pornography off a fellow autoshiter ☺

[vulgalour]

Oh I do hope the owner of the 'ugly cheap little car' buys it three or four friends so they can all have a little street party.

So, who else is thinking ....

 

Should I go outside and see if there's a note on one of my cars legally parked on the street.

Then take all of the road legal cars off my driveway and park these outside my neighbours house as well.

[Pillock]

i don't really like parking outside of other people's houses and I tend to avoid it if I can, but round here there's more cars than houses so it's inevitable.

If, however, I found that had been written about me then I would be entering every roffle on here to fill the street for less than a hundred quid.

 

No joke - someone we know from the school run once had a rant in the playground that people were parking outside their (thin, terraced) house. This family had an Astra, a Mini, and their so-scene-it-hurts rattlecanned black T4. Three vehicles! But here's the clincher - the rant ended with ".... and they don't even own their houses, they rent. We own ours so should have the ability to park there".

 

Guess where I like to park when I can't get the car outside the house?

[fordperv]

Shitefest Street party?

[skattrd]

If there is a note on one of my cars I'm going and getting the Umm and leaving that outside their house ... That'll learn them

[Cavcraft]

Notes on my cars are ace, there's only ever going to be one winner in that sort of thing.

[purplebargeken]

Someone left a note on my i10 once, addressed to the bald man. Bonus! It could have been the fat bald man. They ended the rant with the very odd comment that I should go and park in the sky. I still puzzle over that.

I don't remember seeing the "Autoshite railway embankment ramble" thread?

[scaryoldcortina]

 

This is a real note, left for me on my car. I still have no clue what was wrong with the way I parked.
