What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

A bit of bread-and-butter shite action...

Her smile at the start would turn me to jelly, and just watch for the "meh" expression on her face right at the end when it fades to black.

 

But we're missing the big picture.  She's a V8 Rover driver!  Gattaca shows us that's only for perfect people.

[xtriple]

Having seen how much they cost I'd expect them to hand deliver via helicopter!

 

Keep it to youself for fuck sake, I am utterly ashamed, appalled and mortified that I could be so stupid as to pay that for them!

[trigger]

I don't know what that Opera lady is singing about but i suspect she's moaning about having to change the pads on the inboard rear brakes and that it's just averaged 15 mpg driving to that car park.

[Spottedlaurel]

Sorry if it's been reported elsewhere, but one of the finalists on last night's Professional Masterchef had a Fiat 127 Palio on his driveway. Didn't look like it gets used much though (he did have five kids).

 

Given that he was in Scotland it would have been more appropriate if he'd have had a Volvo estate rotting away instead/as well?

Is that personal experience speaking there Trig?!

[LC Torana]

Wouldn't think so - Trig hasn't done much opera singing

[Sheefag]

I had an F reg BX 19TRi estate in that exact same colour, an excellent motor, never saw another one before or since.

[bub2006]

I hate that film.

Fair enough. Plenty of worse films I could have been named after though

[scaryoldcortina]

Yeah, if your mam had been into crap fantasy films instead of crap sci-fi she could have called you Ladyhawke!

[bub2006]

This is true.

[privatewire]

Being called Ladyhawke would be absolutely bloody brilliant, that is all.

[richardmorris]

May have missed this, but go on, how much do they cost?

 

I couldn't possibly divulge, saving xtriple's modesty, but Google Bentley mulliner wing vents.

I just did that just out of curiosity. Holy shit.

A grand!!!, I assume the car comes with it? Taking the pee or what.

Ah, they fall into the "If you have to ask how much, you can't afford them" category

Our Christmas present at work was a basket full of goodies. As soon as I saw it I thought of a better use for the basket, and my cat agreed with me.

Went to pick up a new injector for the Clio tonight from a boy close to me who races them. Got talking about the BMW which I turned up in and mentioned how it was needing new wings and I'd already bought one with the intention of having a crack at spraying it myself but still needed another one

 

"Which one?"

 

"Passenger side for a facelift"

 

"Hold on" as he disappeared into his store

 

I now have 2 wings

Grin: bought tickets to mugello MotoGP

 

Grump: standing only, the grandstands were stupidly expensive

been assen (twice) and le mans

 

go le mans - bring brolly

 

preffered assen pre track change

 

want to go brno and valencia

[michael1703]

Brno yes, Valencia is statistically the most boring race, too tight and short with very little passing going on but supposed to be a great atmosphere

 

I reasoned that this could be Rossis last mugello and could be something special

Chod Rover 75 radio now fixed. I'm easily pleased

Since Peter Cushing's appearance in the film rogue one it would appear that atos and the dwp are keen to speak to him...

[panhard65]

Had to do a bit of shopping today and bloody hell where is everyone, it was dead out. Made it quite pleasant really especially in Costco as they have been rammed for the last few months.
