What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[fordperv]

Ahh bugger I would've had those off you if I'd known, saying that I should have asked in the wanted thread first, probably could do with a centre panel to flat polish before putting them on

 

I got them from here, they sell repair panels etc but appear to be cheaper than a lot of places

Having lost more than I'd care to think about on daft bets in the last few months, I lobbed £1 on three 'outsiders' on a football bet accumulator tonight and have just won £162.50.

[purplebargeken]

So, that is the funding for the next 3 cars then

With change for a pasty

Our copy of T.H.A.S.I.O.T.P. is sandwiched between The Science of Meat(vol.1) and Sheep Husbandry and diseases.

A few shelves up from my favourite:

Plywoods of the World. Their development, manufacture and Application.

Matt had a thing for "interesting" charity shop books.

Thanks for the next few reading materials - potatoes are a super-food that people take for granted now, but were a miraculous food source that could stay in the ground until it was ready to harvest despite shite weather. It's credited with eradicating the threat of famine from the Highlands in the years after its introduction.

More importantly, chips.

I have 5 motd cars sitting out the front total purchase prices £1058

[vulgalour]

I'm way better off this month than I thought I was so I've finally been able to get the new piston rings for the Renault which has been holding me up on the engine rebuild.  I even have enough to get the liners honed by someone else and the MoT the Rover needs.  Then I'm skint again but still, I'm happy I've had some pennies available for this.

Just picked a £10 hetty up, and wouldnt you know it, the bloke lives right above kfc in maidenhead.

 

Imagine my surprise as I find myself right now waiting for my order. dont know how this happened...

[Aston Martin]

As i'm sure you're aware, i'm a moron.

 

 

I put in an autobid for an auction, I will never use autobid again, because this happened...

 

 

 

 

 

'Decorative rifle'  

 

I live on a fucking housing estate and ebay doesn't like replicas. 

Also collecting it shall be fun.

 

 

 

I believe it's an 1866 and I've found one for £165... mine was less, assuming it's the same I should be happy,

[trigger]

I've just seen this on Facebook, how the fuck is it still MOTed?!

 

 

[cort16]

Just gaffa tape over those bits for the mot. That's how I got my p6 through it's mot anyway!

[vulgalour]

Trigger, that is a thing of GREAT BEAUTY.  To quote the man himself, "do not paint."

[scaryoldcortina]

^ "if autoshite did wedding cars" - it's even got a suitable number plate already fitted!

[xtriple]

I have just overdosed on cheese on toast - 6 slices and it was lush!

 

I am now a weeble so I am going to throw my stick away!   

[michael1703]

Nice... I can't imagine it's an original at that price, but is it black powder proofed (Uberti repro?) or just a replica?

It's possibly this, or it could be a bit of wood and metal stuck together, won't know till tomorrow.

Or a nice little raffle.

Isn't all the outside stuff on those just bolted to a body tub, therefore not structural? Agree with gaffa tape though, my skin's not thin enough to turn up for a test without those jagged bits covered up. Nice car, especially like the moss

guide to fuse replacement.jpg

 

Laugh you may, but the S3 Land Rover I once owned had two nails in the fusebox when I bought it.

 

They can't have been OE nails, though, cos they were pretty much the only components that didn't expire during my tenure as owner of that miserable heap of shit.

[DVee8]

My Daimler has a fresh MOT..

 

Big thank you to Andy:-Scaryoldcortina.

 

Go and see him at Annfield Plain..As said the yard and garage is full of win..

 

GET YOUR CAR FIXED BY ANDY..When was the last time you saw a chevanne and a 2 door tina together in the same place.

[Pillock]

What, welded together?

[DVee8]

^^ No just in the same yard

[loserone]

GET YOUR CAR FIXED BY ANDY.

 

I fully intend to. Can it wait until the morning though cause I don't think he'd appreciate being called at this time to look at a Kia Pride or a Pretzel.  Shame I miss out on seeing the Daimler, I knew I should have popped in on Monday!
