My 14 year old accord is ferrying myself, our tech and my boss to work as both of their brand new cars are being repaired. both repairs are self inflicted and not mechanical but still brings a smile to my face.

Gr4 to see the "green thing" as my daughter used to call it still in action.

In the comments, offers of much less money, not unusual either.

But I rate the originality of this attempt here:

Black Monday innit M8?

 

I love the fact the seller thinks £9.50 is £500 less than £1,250.

I just had a look in my online bank to find that HSBC have today given me £550 PPI compensation for a £4000 loan I took out 17 years ago (which, needless to say I wasted on shite)

That's not a lot of compo really for a loan that old, I wonder if they have paid you enough interest ? Should be 8% minimum on every payment from when it was made as well as refund of the original PPI cost  

 

EG £10 paid in 2000 would be worth £23.60 now

Went to the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona International Speedway this past weekend. In amongst the high dollar 60's and 70's muscle cars for sale was this little beauty.

 

 

However my favorite was probably this...just love that colour

[clayts450]

Traffic bad on evening commute (my journey home includes a section which has all Nottm escapees aiming to get to Jct 26 of the M1) so decided to overtake (legitimately I must add) about 30 cars or so and nip into the right hand turn lane at a set of traffic lights with the aim of taking a local detour to get me home.

 

Wasn't able to get round before lights changed but miraculously the jammed up road ahead cleared suddenly - one of those ghost traffic jams which occurs because a giffer in a Micra feathered the brakes probably.

 

As the lane I was now in was also a straight ahead, and I was first I line, decided I would be able to do a merge in turn (three lanes into two) and go straight on, but determined the best way due to the heavy rush hour traffic was to give it the beans and get ahead of the car in the next lane as I figured the car behind most likely wouldn't let me in (Nottm rush hour is evil).

 

Lights turn green, foot down, growling K-series, warp speed -4, car in left hand lane disappears into the distance, but handily creates a large gap enabling me to slot in behind without concern.

 

What made me laugh was the bloke I challenged* seriously must have thought 'that showed him' - yeah mate, your Beemer just burned up a 1.4 84 bhp go-kart. Well done.

Anyone wondering what the June 1977 menu was like at Leicester Forest East Services?

 

It's your lucky evening.

This is now my strategy. Sit next to the car in the #1 spot, edging forward.... give them the idea you want to race.

They take off, the person in #2 is doing the shakey-head "bloody hooligans" thing, and a huge gap opens up. Works every time.

Stopped for a quick pic on the way home after picking up the post

Not a bad view

Got the new battery fitted to my p38 today, had a small panic getting the eka code to take. Now it's running.

 

Had a delivery of wood from the local farm - turns out he has a collection of 15 classics including an ac and an xk140. Made my 'collection' seem very inadequate. Going to take a look at his cars at some point.

Two years ago, my YouTube channel notched up its 100,000th view. Today, it has had over 1.3 million views. That makes me happy. 

 

If you've not found it yet (oh come on, I never shut up about it!) it's at www.youtube.com/HubNut

anyone else love the folks that sit the side of you at a set of lights gradually creeping forward....then totally miss the lights changing and you leave them looking like twats in a 1.2 punto **(insert your car car here)

[Pillock]

It is a reason to use the handbrake at lights. If you're holding your foot on the brake you're always going to lose a quarter of a second finding the biting point and then swapping feet, so either balance on the clutch (applicable to hire cars, or your own vehicle that isn't long for this world anyway) or use the handbrake so you can be ready on the pedals.

 

Learning light sequences helps too, so you can be rolling on red to cross the line on amber and into the distance on green

 

(I used to go full dragstrip with my Polo, hold it on the handbrake with the revs high and the clutch just below biting. Stopped doing that when I twisted a driveshaft in half)

Or drive an auto and hold it on the brake pedal with your left foot. That makes for a speedy getaway.

Great way to cheer myself up since I'm full of cold and the Princess' suspension has done what it does again.
