What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Have been in a lot of pain today (washed the flaming car, always hurts!) so ended up in a 'stupid' mood. I often am when hurting, it's like the 'don't give a fuck' app gets turned up to 11...

Girl in the Co-op with shorts on, and may I say, the best legs I have EVER seen - brown and long and gorgeous, so I told her just that, asked her to marry me and then cried when she said 'no!'. She didn't actually, my winning charm strikes again! Man, she is lovely!

Please note, the Bentley, while parked outside was not known about during this interview so its outcome had nothing to do with BGD or the slobbery dogs in it!

Yeah, ME!

Annfield plain isn't too far from chester-le-street and I do repairs, MoTs and a special line in doing the job properly and not ripping anyone off.

I wish you were near me!

Chris Eubank has written a book about ethics.

If it's a sales success his next book will be about Kent.

County Durham is a horrible place which you would never want to visit on a holiday. Just sayin'

(+eleventy on SoC Motor Co. highly rated and they may even accidentally buy cars they've worked on for later AS roffles (See: PRI-DAH, MGF)

It's my half day tomorrow, so the afternoon will be spent cleaning, painting, wiring and reassembling my new scooter

Pics will be in the Bikeshite thread for anyone remotely interested.

And another for the SoC garage.

Remember the dealer who was trying to hardball me on price over that shabby XJ40? He was pretending he had a seller offering him Â£950. Well, I got a text the other day saying that the 'buyer' never collected. Who would have thought it? I'm bloody glad I talked myself out of that car. I reckon it'd be an absolute nightmare.

Driving though Colchester today i drove pass a little old lady in a faded red E reg (E*** CHJ) Fiesta 1.4 Ghia Mk2 whos clearly owned it since new, other than the faded Rosso red it looked pretty damn spotless, it cheered me right up still knowing cars like that are out there and haven't all be bought by OSF window lickers with banded wheels.

Used the Withnail Jag to go out on a family day trip at the weekend. Succeeded in having the thirstiest, oldest, shabbiest car in the car park, which made me smile....

Yeah, today there was a (surprisingly young) bloke in Morrisons driving a D reg Wedgewood Blue MK2 fiesta 1.1, it was lovely, dead original with the red vinyl badges on the back. I was going to go up to him and bother him about it if he stopped but he was on his way out. There's really not many of them left that haven't been ruined by idiots like me when I was 17 turning them into "XR2s"

I had my first "scary clown" encounter while out for a run last night. I thought clowns were supposed to react well to being laughed at...

A clown jumped out on me id have chinned him. Got judge dread album on in van. Getting a few odd looks raises a grin!

Found out about this very British thing today

Our finance director at work is 50 today, and bought everyone in the office a pizza for his birthday! The local backstreet pizza place must have loved that phone call, over 370! I feel very full now, I bet it's all expensed back to the company though

I survived Hurricane Matthew and more importantly so did the convertible!

Here's what greeted me when I got back home

Some of the local roads (this is about 20 minutes or so from my house) didn't fare so well

I'm across the State in Cape Coral. Apart from a very 'sporty' landing at RSW last Thursday evening, we've had nothing like the weather you guys on the Atlantic copped for.

Getting excited for a new toy.

Off to pick up my Wbod tomorrow lunchtime, probably won't do a collection thread as it's only just over an hour away and a mate is giving me a lift. Things I am expecting from this motor are...

Terrible mpg

Rubbish at going round corners

allegedly they explode at the slightest whiff of a collision

My Reliant gives good mpg

Your Reliant would probably fit in the back of it.

My car was happy as I left it with a friend to talk to in Tesco car park.

^^^ It is about time we had another thread titled "Crap face lifts" or something similar.

Cue lots of pictures of late 80s Fiats.

Conor and I took a road trip today

It was only* a 400 mile round trip, but worth it.

Doncaster pit stop

And home.

Has Geoff found a new home then ????? I was getting worried that I might have to buy him back for a while there.
