What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Craig the Princess]

How many bangers in that picture?

At least six!

[vulgalour]

Craig, that's the most British picture I've seen this year.  Possibly ever.

[somewhatfoolish]

Spent the evening on PS Waverley

 

Tremendous!

They've fixed the knackered vacuum pump then? It was FTPed and tied to Largs pier a week ago.

[Inspector Morose]

And, by way of coincidence, I watched it leave on that very morning before proceeding to get the Saab from your dad!

More interested in the boat used to push it. Cummins B powered.

Astramax hurse lolz.

Went to fordfair today, saw lots of lovely motors in amongst the modern stuff and the cherry on the cake was i came away with a pair of n.o.s mk1 sierra higher model/cosworth headlights for my 3 door and a n.o.s pair of mk4 escort tail lights for mrs fps escort rs turbo

[Timewaster]

My God. N.O.S headlamps for 3 door from Ford Fair?

Did you remortgage your house?

I saw an Insignia hearse in Galway on Tuesday. Took me a moment to realise that I had seen what I had seen.

My gooner has 6,300 duck powers! (150 horsepower)

 

Made me smile on a Monday anyway

Getting ready for an mot on my Lotus, had an inadvertent 1996 gathering on my drive.

 

Range rover looks menacing from drivers seat....

 

 

Also the illogical worry when I pulled into the mot bay to see the normal tester is on holidays. Currently the test has the bonnet up.... Eek.

My manky Hiace now has a year's MOT following a poke with the welding stick, many new brake pipes, a new towbar power socket and a rear light that doesn't have a hole in it.  This is a good thing.

 

I haven't seen the bill yet so the grin might fade a little when I pick it up tomorrow afternoon but for now I'm pleased.

[FakeConcern]

I was buying some Beck's Blue at a Tesco self checkout and it needed store approval!

[Ghosty]

Yeah, alcohol free beer does for some reason. I don't get that.

It's subject to ID in Wetherspoons as well but they don't actually bother in there.

I reckon I'll be OK due to being unemployed for the start of this year. Will get royally bummed next tax year instead...

Driving along in the piss pouring rain on the M1 in the T25, in the dark. Steady away at 60 reclined in the comfy seats with the armrests deployed, Knobheads in x5s blasting past at 90mph through standing water etc.

I stuck an old tape in the stereo and this came on:

I'd found in a box of my old crap at my mums today, I think I got the tape off some scary older boy in the mid 90s when I was about 12,

I've heard that track a load of times since but the way it was mixed in took me back 20 odd years, to when I was listening to it on an akai stereo I got out of a skip behind a shop.

 

It sounds best on the cracklemasters in the van. In the house on my yuppy stereo it's not how I remember it.

[The Moog]

Getting some replacement windows fitted today.

 

Not started well when they asked me which ones they were supposed to be doing.

 

Took a phone call outside and came back to find they had taken the living room window out - which wasn't to be replaced!

 

Very laurel and hardy. Minor swearing/blaming each other and it was put back in.

 

They dug around the van and found the fag packet the quote was written on so full steam ahead

This that I saw on another forum

Look carefully... 

[gm]

I spotted these unusual suspects by the side of the road - does anyone want me to go back for anything ?

 

[chaseracer]

^ Is that an Austin Rover trim at right?

[gm]

montego I think. also an early polo and a sierra

[steveo3002]

mk2 polo on the left..poverty sierra further along?

[Ghosty]

Breadvan Polo > ??? > 13" Ford, sure I've seen it on a couple of things > generic > phase 2 Clio > early Montego

[gm]

I'll have a closer look when I get home

I know there's a YouTube thread somewhere, but I thought a video with rallying Volvo 240s, Saab 96 &99s and 164 deserved a to be here.

Historic rallying with Quattros an Integrales makes me feel old too.
