What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

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.

[Cavcraft]

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.

Could have been worse. You could have done a live stream...

Saw this earlier at a show, it reminded me of the street furniture of when I was growing up

 

 

 

It was by these beauty's

Sitting in the warm with the inside lights off and the outside lights on watching the storm...

[myglaren]

Storm!  What storm?

[vulgalour]

What's that Mr Landlord?  We CAN chop all the trees and hedges down?  You ARE okay with us extending the drive?

 

Awesome.

breakfast this morning-

 

very tasty meat pie followed by victoria sponge.

very, very tasty all the same.....

I bought a cable to connect an mp3 to my Smax. Popped out the dash, but no space for the eBay connector. Popped to the local car audio shop where they said that the wires would need to be removed from the connector and inserted into the existing connector.

Could not find the diagram so put it all back together. This morning found the diagram so pulled the whole thing apart. Then found that the pins were already in use, seemed strange. Couldn't wire it up so put it all back together.

Went to find the security code from the glove box, what did I find? A factory wired in aux socket. I've only owned the car for four years...

I have moved all my shit from the storage unit... well, I say 'I' but what I mean is: my mates (Hubert and Mark) moved it all while I supervised/got in the way/whinged like fuck/ and demanded that certain things be put in certain places .... mainly I wanted all my tool boxes stacking again like they used to be!

 

I can truly say NOT all Vauxhalls are shit! Zafira ( I think) took huge amounts of stuff and we did the whole lot on two trips! Okay, I loaded the MX5 up as well (well, what huge amounts you can get in one of those - not!) and Mark put a bit on the back seats of his posh 4X4 thing (High and dry something) but the Zafira even had a leather sofa in it with loads more piled on top/round it.

 

Now just got to go up and sort it all out, just placed over on the left willy-nilly for the minute. Got to move some built in shelves so I can drive the dollop straight in but otherwise, all good.

 

Only grump(s) are: no electric in there (some sort of cheap generator possibly?) and I hurt like the crippled old git I am. Oh, and I had to take the dogs out after. Having dodged the rain all the time we were moving, collected the mutts and it pissed down persistently from then on... glorious sunshine again now!
