What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Guest Hooli]

Great to see SP back to it's best, it went shite for a while when it turned to a tweet style & made no sense at all.

 

Nice honourable mention for a DW beast at the end too.

I bet that vinyl roof covers a multitude of sins!

Bet it's like frankensteins foreskin under there

I was making my tea tonight when I realised that my cheese grater looks like Shrek (or an alleged drink driving footballer)

an alleged drink driving footballer

Is there any other kind?

[PhilA]

 

Firing up the grill on Labor Day (erm, uh.. like bank holiday Monday) because the weather's real nice and testing out my new spatula.

Whereabouts are you going?

North island maybe picton

[Mr A Lawrence]

Talking about some car related shite query with the missus last night she said.....

 

"why don't you have a look on that gobshite forum thing you go on?"

 

Is she wrong or right??

Convicted?

[eddyramrod]

Yeah ok, you've identified the only other possible option.  Thank you.  I knew there was a name for it.

[Craig the Princess]

To be honest I think the fine for drink driving (and cost of a driver for a few years) will be the less expensive than the divorce he faces.

 

Such a shame, oh dear, never mind

I doubt there will be a divorce - He has done naughty stuff before, it just so happens this has been captured in public. Both sides will have much to lose and they have a kid on the way.

Spot-on, my girlfriend would say.

You can buy the Exocet kit for an mx5 for about £3k... or you can do it properly and strip an mx5 and wallop a rollcage in it.

 

As long as you kept the bonnet, lights and it had Caterham-style tyre arches, I think you'd be alright...

North island maybe picton

That just had to be on the coast, didn't it?  It's a harbour and ferry port, judging by Google maps.

 

There's a joke in here somewhere, I can't quite put my finger on it...

[DodgeRover]

Hairnet, I would strongly recommend looking at what the South Island has to offer other than 3 million less new kiwis...

[Craig the Princess]

Those stripped out roll caged mx5s look both wonderful and awful at the same time.

 

Much wantage.

[dollywobbler]

They're no Vette-kart, that's for sure. 

 

Friend of mine has had a different idea about what to do with an old, rotten MX-5...

[Aston Martin]

I didn't realise that the body lifted off the running gear on an mx5.

[Tamworthbay]

Yup, it's why they are so popular with kit car makers.

So Carcoat Damphands and Davie Coulthard were delivering their normal service then?

[bub2006]

Auto 2.0 full leather,working ac and the funky double din sony unit toyota fitted. 68k but the bodywork is ropey. Drives great though. Good thing is i can drive it.

[Ghosty]

Good luck with it!

[M'coli]

It doesn't matter how ropey it looks, if the structure and mechanicals and price are good, the looks are unimportant!

[bub2006]

Picture now attached!

[twosmoke300]

Check the oil weekly -they drink a drop but seem to just keep going

[bub2006]

I thought that was the vvt lump or is it the pre vvt too? Irrelevant though as i usually check every couple of days at work but at least once a week.

Reminds me of a proper lotus.

[FakeConcern]

Anyone fancy a Vacation?

[Ghosty]

Bauer Millett! That started its life in Manchester then.

Would a thousand times, I ruddy love Roadmasters.
