How do you get a free breakfast, or free anything, out of Premier Inn? The last (and only ever) time I stayed in a Premier Inn even the continental breakfast was something like £1000000.

Picked up Ben from the local station last night. Stopped at some lights and a chav/gangster hot hatch pulled up along side. Drivers window open, young lad, bass making your eyes bleed, has his lean on, one arm draped over the door type thing. Engine revving, you get the idea. I obv knew he was going for it as there was a bus on his side of the road further up.

 

Mrs. PBK's Micra is no slouch, so I thought, why not. Lights change, he goes to hurtle off and stalls it. I pulled slowly away, laughing myself sick, almost to the point of vomiting. Funniest thing of almost evah.

Reminds me of the time I saw a twattish lad in a Saxo go for a proper burn out style pull away to show how macho he was. Backfired rather when the driveshaft went BANG and dropped into view. NICE 1 M8!

Took a break from work this morning to go and pick up a starter motor from a rural garage I frequent.   There is a long up and down hill on a bit of straight near there and I had the Minor pretty wound up to ensure a constant velocity on the down, then the up, gradients. 

 

I could see a pig-eyed Landy coming t'other way and a moped just starting his descent on my side.   Before I got to the moped the B reg'd soft top 88 incher passed me by and I could then see that the moped was in fact a Raleigh Runabout (also B reg) being furiously pedalled as the gradient started to kick in.  I gave the poor bloke some room and carried on up the hill.

 

I wasn't able to fully enjoy the spectacle (or take pics) but just for a moment or two there the whole road was 1964.

That's what dash cams were made for

Just picked a cycle trailer up from a top geezer the other side of town. He had two cars, one was a 14 plate MG3 and a 14 plate MG6. He said both were top of the range and the 6 was a dealer registered brand spanker that should have been £21,000 but he got it for just under £13,000. he reckoned his was one of the last of the petrols and MG just couldn't shift them. His plans are to run both into the ground, keeping them as long as he can. One was to replace the 190,000 mile Honda Jazz he had before it.

Three high quality pictures from my exceptional* mobile communication device.

 

Safety sign lying for at least 5 hours in the doorway making the entrance to the dry floored toilets dangerous

Obviously the sensible thing to do is leave it where it was, so that is what I did.

 

 

Lovely dog walk at 6:15 yesterday morning and nobody about

 

 

Lost your clamp for the spare, no problem this might do!

 

Any better ideas for using old grinding discs?

There's a house in my village with an SD1 in similar condition outside along with some P6s that are well beyond saving

[fordperv]

Considering the weather is shitty I decided to whip the wheels off the saph so I could clean the insides of them and polish the faces, ideally they need refurbing, I'm glad i did they had no lustre and felt like braille

 

Here's a cleaned and polished one

 

They aren't 100% but are OK for the time being

Reminds me of a bit in "Mad" magazine (so very long ago) with a spoof feature on cars where one similar to that was described as the "Firewood"

Image has stick with me through the years.

I lent sister my 850R to go on holiday with the caravan. Apparently it tows well, but it's a bit thirsty ... 13mpg pulling a caravan

My work's do again tonight: FOR MASH GET SMASHED.

Went for a ride in my Nieces KA today, she is a fair bit ''Blonde'' at times, but after a ''In the weeds'' Corsa cut her up she pulled the best ''Horn and middle finger combo'' going

 

Which rather got epic as said kid in Corsa indicated for her to pull over - so she did , and a spotty hipster got out and started to remonstrate .

 

I was about to get out and twat him, but she said ''Leave it Unc, I''ll sort this''

and got out all 4 ft 7'' of her and kicked him in his bits, then got back in car and just drove off

 

Still laughing now, she has grown into a fine lady

[purplebargeken]

^^ I like her very much. We need more like her to reduce the chance for these fucksters to replicate. 

[bub2006]

Then rover sd1's look like the ones that were at Albert looms other month. I think there was three in altogether. I went other day and they had a couple of Granada mk3 in.

Got in the 405 yesterday to reverse out of a parking space and sat there waiting for the suspension to go up before it dawned on me that I haven't owned a BX estate in years.

[purplebargeken]

You plum ^^ lol

[doobietoo]

Indicators on the right is so much better for any country that drives on the left. Damn those bloody yanks, I blame them for this along with bikes having the gears on the wrong side & upside down.

Sorry but you are wrong and the yanks are right indicators should be on the left this is so you can hang your arm out of the window and still let other road users know which direction you are going. ....

In buying my FiatAbarth 500  the dealer let it slip it's one of these "dealer fit specials" where it comes to the dealers as a normal one and they put new suspension and a noisy exhaust and a remap on it.

Obviously I laid claim to the original suspension and exhaust, I'd rather ebay them myself than the workshop foreman and I've paid for them after all.

 

They made £350! CA$HBACK! Plus I just found out the car comes with a free bonus track day where I can take a mate and we can rag the bollocks off of someone elses Abarth 500 round Donington for a while.

 

I've also sold the old Ibiza Cupra on ebay to a lad who was not the usual "BEST PRICE M8" arsehole and seemed sound enough, but I'm reserving final judgement cos he texted me last night at 11:40PM saying "Might sound stupid, but think I only have half the V5 with me? Did I take the part that I signed with me haha? Can't find it in the car" and this morning I've had to try and talk him through taxing the fucker online. Hmm. I knew I should have used another phone number..

I never altered the clocks on my car and motorcycle last October.

 

Now I dont have to. Result.

 

Surely worthy of some kind of viz top tip?

[Pillock]

We've not altered the modern's clock in four years, because VAG and you have to hold this and turn that, but only when the ignition is on the the engine isn't running. So by the time you realise the clock is wrong, it's pointless t rning the engine off to set it so you aim to do it next time.

I'm still unwell but my gang are looking after me

[anonymous user]

The dog will look after you, but the cats will be waiting for you to die so that they can eat you

[purplebargeken]

and then look totally blame-free when someone eventually finds your remains. Because cat.

SWMBO bought a bluetooth speaker thing so she can play whatever tripe it is she listens to off her phone when she's cleaning. It's kept behind the telly, where it can't be seen.

 

I'm up on the bog having a shit when thoughts strike me... "I wonder if I can connect to it from up here? She's having a nap on the settee... "

 

I suspect I may go downstairs to total carnage as it sounded like the telly and speaker both got launched when the opening bars of this started at full volume and she frantically tried to switch it off.
