Returning home from a gig last night at about 2am, twenty minutes of impressive snow storm had turned all the estate roads around chez chod to a full on, no salt Swedish FIA rally stage. Much handbrake/dab of oppo fun was incongruously had in Mrs CW's automatic driving school corsa (complete with extra door mirrors and dual controls). Haven't had so much fun in years.

 

 

It is fully my intention that Mrs CW will remain unaware of this juvenile behaviour.

A friend of mine had a dual control learner car when he joined Red for a few years. The hilarity we had dumping the clutch as he pulled out of a busy junction on the way home from the pub, or as he waited on a hill etc (he didn't drink).

One of my sister's boyfriends, wag that he was, enjoyed surreptitiously knocking her Prelude out of gear when she wasn't looking.

 

(I believe he's now in the slammer for armed robbery.)

Harry from harrys garage has done an update video on his manual V12 XJC, it's worth watching just for the noise of the V12.

 

11:30 onward is worth skipping to, just have tissues handy.

Glad it arrived.

[fordperv]

Saw a couple of performance motors out and about today in the lovely slippy conditions

 

 

This I took a picture of because of its rough and ready appearance, if you look closely you can see its door bottoms are rusty and a few other bits and it's damaged bumper, I was like it, part of me is hoping it has 500bhp and the owner keeps it looking tatty to take the pee out of people when they race it

Fantastic! See people, the open forum is a good place to be when you don't talk politics!

[Guest Hooli]

I've got a mate seriously into food & nutrition etc, this link off his page did make me chuckle & oddly think of someone on here...

If that's TL:DR, then veggies & vegans have smaller brains due to a lack of long-chain fatty acids required for brain growth. As tested by the university of Oxford.

Oh & as it's that bloody time of year...

 

Things you can only say at Christmas
1: I prefer breasts to legs.
2: Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.
3: Smother the butter all over the breasts.
4: If I don't undo my trousers, I'll burst!
5: I've never seen a better spread!
6: I fancy a little dark meat for a change.
7: Are you ready for seconds yet?
8: It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?
9: Just wait your turn, you'll get some!
10: Don't play with your meat!
11. Stuff it up between the legs as far as it will go.
12: Do you think you'll be able to handle all these people at once?
13: I didn't expect everyone to come at the same time!
14: You still have a little bit on your chin.
15: How long will it take after you put it in.
16: You'll know it's ready when it pops up
17: Just pull the end and wait for the bang.
18: That's the biggest bird I've ever had!
19: I've been gobbling nuts all morning
20: Wow, I didn't think I could handle all that and still want more

[DeeJay]

Do you want stuffing?

[Lacquer Peel]

Yep, Beko flounced off so I nicked his avatar...

Whaaaat, beko's gone?

[kinkersaab]

That. Hence we have a blue & a red one now.

[beko1987]

Temporarily, was having a joke in the other forum and the real slartibartfast waved his magic wand and here we are!

[kinkersaab]

such fun..... 

[Tamworthbay]

Speak for yourself, mine is still perfectly normally coloured.

What's a Christmas holiday?

 

(And nobody at my work bothered with a Christmas jumper; I was wearing a yellow hoodie from a charity shop.)

I love proper bearings! The Vac these are out of dates from 1929 to 1931,so these are probably older than that still! Could probably strip the ball races down too but they seem to be coming up ok in a solvent bath, don't want to fuck them up since their a bit unobtanium now!

[Guest Hooli]

They look a bit worn to me.

 

A local bearing shop could probably match them for a couple of quid or so.

[PhilA]

It's the weekend.

[strangeangel]

Just back from collecting a rank moped, and watching Dollywobbler's Invacar video over a brew before I go outside and see if I can get the beast running.

 

It's what Saturdays were made for

[catsinthewelder]

I've got about 2 weeks off work over Christmas. Its the longest holiday I've had since I went self employed 3 1/2 years ago.

 

I had 3 weeks off last year after an operation which was definitely not a holiday.

[155V6]

The MG failed it's MOT today.

The grin is that it only failed on a bit of welding which I knew needed doing.

It's been off the road since October last year when I crashed it,I've pulled out the front panel behind the bumper,replaced the front panels & the rear beam & tried to make sure everything looked ok.

Today was the 1st time I'd driven it since the crash,I forgot how much fun it was.

It should be back on the road in the new year

Their fine! The machine ran superbly before, packed with fresh (caliper) grease should see it last another 80 years! Can't go ripping the patina out of it now! Already having to replace all the internal cloth covered wires!

It seems " Santa has been, we can take the tree and cards down now! will make a 5 year old cry and a 30 year old man get bollocked...

 

 

 

The XC90 towing the sleigh was making one hell of a clatter on idle too...
