What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Joined the A23 at Burgess Hill and didn't drop below 50mph until leaving the M4 at Swindon. I was starting to think such achievements were impossible these days. Bliss!

 

Also, Strictly Come Dancing. Gosh I love Halloween make up...

Cake by the ocean yeah did that in Vigo

 

Now its tea on the bay of Biscay

 

Yes I'm bored

 

Oh and at two Euros a cup glad I bought a 10 pack of fanta for 3 euro yesterday

[STUNO]

Why has that cup of tea not slid off the table ?  

[STUNO]

In the paper today, some idiots.

They are proper mudflats, no vehicle can ever not get bogged, so don't ever try to tow out your mates car by driving out to tow it out   .

Not far from Auckland airport, they have a hovercraft in case a plane ever comes down on the flats.

...cause the table is flat and oval...

My L200 this morning has been decorated ready for Haloween by its resident spider colony.

 

In other news i am doing an engine swap today.

 

 

Wish me luck.

I got a job callback

I have to ask, are you on Peugeot 306 forums under the name Rippthrough? I remember from there that Rippthrough helped run an off road racing buggy which ran a BMW V10, then a rotary (as you mentioned in the rotary engine thread) and also did mental fabrication stuff, like wavy brake discs for 306s, amongst other things. Also had a 306 1.4 making 100hp until it shat its gearbox all over the road.

 

I was me-tm over there, and on the Carmageddon forums too... Yeah, I'm an internet stalker or something.

Hello internet stalker. Again.

 

The rotary buggy has a supercharged S2000 engine now, 370bhp on low boost, 500+ on high boost:

I've just bought chips in a tourist town and they are made of potato!

Yay!

 

Also, you're mental. I'm sure I've said it before, but still.

Lucky you, almost every time I've crossed it we've had the shit knocked out of us. Maybe going in Summer isn't the answer.

Never been

 

Been lucky

[Tamworthbay]

We crossed twice in August and it was like a pancake. A mate went last October on a cruise to the Canaries and seriously regrettted it.

[MarvinsMom]

i've got that book "South with Endurance"!!

 

Frank Hurleys pictures are amazing, just..... amazing!

 

and Ernest Shackleton is abit (ok alot) of a hero of mine.

 

the tv movie "Shackleton" staring Kenneth Branagh is a film/tv series well worth watching.

And the grin for today..An (probably by now ex) MG dealer almost admits that MG's were not good sellers 

 

 

It is "new" but 3 years old and still not sold. Now reduced from $39000. to $20000. Which makes depreciation of 50% in the1800 km it has done.

 

EDIT...just looked up the website and still an MG dealer.

[mercrocker]

There are at least three Talbot-related threads on the front page.   And Cav has bought a chainsaw driven RSW.   

 

This forum, etc.....

The sub £700 CRX bought earlier this year walked its MOT today.

 

 

And the engine from yesterday is built up ready to fit after getting side tracked fixing the L200's 4x4 system that wasn't actually broken.

[vulgalour]

Yesterday was Hallowe'en and Chompy acquired this as his daily driver.

 

 

Which is appropriately scary.

I've registered on cliosport.net to get the knowledge required to make the 182 better. I thought I'd stick up a project thread-copied and pasted from here. 

 

Safe to say I remember now why I don't use other forums. You guys rock.

Remember a couple of weeks ago a post office van ran into my focus and scratched the side but did no other damage?

 

I got a call today, the assessor recommended to the insurance that it is written off (boo!) and proposed a settlement figure including me keeping the car.

 

Why the grin? It's about a grand more than I paid for the car, and it's still usable!

[Cavcraft]

Remember I said I'd bought my worse motor this year when I got that RSW with a chain saw engine? Well in less than 36 hours I've eclipsed that, and eclipsed it in some style.

 

Just completed payment/paperwork, L8RZ H8RZ.

[Inspector Morose]

I've lost my job!

 

Why grin? Well, I'm starting to get my writing mojo back!

Email from the BLOS LPG carb people confirming they are suitable for boost, home brew turbo conversion running lpg for economy on a 30 year old pinto WCPGW?

 

Need someone to measure me up an LDV Maxus rad and intercooler...

[Coprolalia]

Just picked up the keys to my new lock-up.

 

Should do!
