What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Nice one! I wouldn't mind obtaining a National and using it as a daily driver - park it in the work car park, take it to Morrisons, etc. Would there be any law against that?

 

 

Basically as long as you have the license, you can. I like the ability to use bus lanes, and if you don't intend to use it to carry fare paying passengers road tax is only £205 a year and insurance is dirt cheap - I'm only 23 and including recovery cover it's less than £300 a year, unlimited mileage and cover for a full load of passengers as long as they don't pay directly for travelling on the bus. The downside is fuel consumption - not worked out the economy on this one, but the other Mk2 does about 7mpg...

You Sir, are a lunatic.

But in a good way.

Fantastic! One thing I'm wondering though - a lot of shiteists struggle to find storage space for cars, so where the hell do you find room to store a load of buses (unless of course you live in an old bus depot)?

[michiel]

23?! Wow. I didn't even have my car licence back then... respeck.

That thought crossed my mind. I struggle with 2 metros and a company car. I think the neighbours, and Mrs, would go chicken oriental with a Leyland Coach perminently taking up 3 parking slots.

I suspect that Holland has, ironically, far better public transport than we do.

 

Plenty of complaints about it, but true. Never use it nowadays, but back then as a student public transport was free (either in the weekends or on weekdays, you had to choose), so no real need for a licence.

In 3 weeks time, I shall be in a house with its own, unshared, off-road parking space. For the first time since leaving home, I'll actually be able to walk all the way around a car to work on it, without getting run over/shouted at/covered in nettle stings. It's not even visible from most of the neighbouring houses, or the road, so less chance of people whingeing about angle-grinders or welding torches

Not earth-shattering, but it's the small things that make a difference!

Took him for his first decent walk yesterday and he loved it.

It did cross my mind, It's a shame that i can't watermark my photos really.

About 12 miles from Stondon yesterday I came across a house with a decent sized garden with at least four Maestros in various states of disrepair in it.

 

Someone is living the dream it seems.

[barrett]

I know it shouldn't, but this made me giggle

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll look out for it in the local paper - Boston Spa's about 3 miles away!

Is that the house a few miles after leaving the M1 at Junct 13, on the A507, on the left? Think there's also a Metro an possibly a Montego as well.

 

As you say, living the dream......

[pogweasel]

Look carefully and you'll find some assorted Marinas in the undergrowth at that place too...

[Mr Lobster]

Yeh thats the place. Only got a quick enough look to clock the Maestros although there did appear to be others.

I can't get the bloody missus to do it

Theres something hidden away in the undergrowth opposite that place too - only saw it out of the corner of my eye so haven't got a clue what it is.

Sounds like a job for STREETVIEW!

[pogweasel]

Streetview doesn't cover that bit.

[Mr Lobster]

What Pog said. But, have a poor quality aeriel shot anyway

I remember someone saying that they was also a Maestro converted shed there was well!
