The most AS thing I've seen this year so far: the "Let's offroad!"-mobile is jumping the BMW.

I was doing some work in the halls of residence earlier, and somebody had re-arranged the lettering on the fridge into an inspirational* message.

More cars should have the amount of wrestlers that they can comfortably convey mentioned clearly and boldly in the advertising.

Go on then who's stalking me?? I am being stalked by shite The other night me and mrs fp went out for tea at a pub and a short while in we saw this pull on as we were by the window, it got us both looking like meerkats as it passed the window to park, it looked pretty good condition and it was a quirky little thing

(Mrs fp papped the pic as I didn't have my phone)

 

Today after the gym we needed dog food so popped to a shop near by which is no where near the area of the pub and guess what appeared by the time we came out of the shop

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Its like a shite version of The Duel.

I now have an inhaler and an apointment to see some bugger who is going to test my breathing. Was offered x-rays and all sorts but declined as I am not a fan of hospitals and anyway, they might tell me I'm ill!

 

I wanted an inhaler when I was in school as they always seemed to belong to the 'cool kids' it's only taken several decades but I've finally got one, trendy blue thing as well.

 

 

I had asthma as a child, fairly bad but it seemed to "go away" when I was about 15 so I stopped getting inhalers and stuff

 

I still get a spell of it about once every couple of years so I keep an inhaler about the place (£7 off the internet, saves fucking about registering with a GP etc)

The feeling of not being able to breath all that well and then copping a lungful of inhaler and withing seconds being OK is absolutely the best feeling in the world, honestly hats off to whoever worked out inhalers, theyre amazing.

[MrDuke]

According to teh internetz, Salbutamol was discovered in 1966 by the Allen and Hanburys laboratory in Ware, Hertfordshire, and was launched as Ventolin in 1969.

 

However, the actual inhaler was first developed in 1955 by Riker Laboratories in, um, somewhere in Merkinland probably. Which begs the question, what the hell were they using it to inhale during the intervening 14 years???

[Guest Hooli]

Ventolin is that old?? Wow.

[meshking]

My docs just took me off Ventolin, because it's difficult to administer. Yeah, only 30 years of using it and I still haven't got it right???

[michael1703]

My wife has asthma and has been on inhalers for years, 3 years ago she took up yoga and Pilates and her breathing is 90% better.

 

She probably uses an inhaler 4 or 5 times a year now

Today I picked up this xk8 from a customer to fit a recon abs pump.

 

I left him a suitable courtesy car of course

 

[AlabamaShrimp]

Forgotten id taken a picture of a car park the other day after noticeing how small my car looked.

 

Modern stuff does seem pretty big but the regularly parked there Pontiac is still just that bit bigger.

 

 

 

[wuvvum]

A couple of times when I've been to Tesco in the Innocenti I've seen people trying to drive into the space where it's parked because it's so much smaller than anything else that it pretty much disappears.

What a lovely offer but of course it's a no!

 

Your right though it's a popular plus but with the wrong bumpers as the old ones rotted out.

That looks lovely. Reminds me of my old one. Are the bumpers Ghia bumpers?

My old one was a B reg 1.3 (cvh) Ghia in Paris blue metallic, had all the options on it too including a delightfully blue velour interior.

It was rusty though and the wipers worked only when they felt like it. And when it rained the water leaked in through the screen surround, dripped off the dash onto your feet and leaked straight out onto the road as the footwell was full of holes.

I really wish I'd kept it and done it up but I had no room at the time. B800 YPU I think the reg was. It used to fly along too with that 1.3 cvh in it!
