What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[wuvvum]

What engine did it have ?

Fiat SOFIM 2.5 turbo diesel from an Iveco Daily.  Here it is looking a bit lost under the bonnet.

 

 

It wasn't a fast car.  At all.

 

It did have the same climate control buttons as my Maserati Biturbo though.

[Pete-M]

Sorry if I spoiled a reveal. He said it's indecently fast which sounds like fun to me. Enjoy.

There were only around 400 C32s sold in the UK, including around 100 estates, so your game is strong working it out

Did someone ask for a picture of nursie off Blackadder unloading a Matra Rancho? No problem:

Postie brought me something to hang on the wall, and no-one complained.

The Audi is due a service soon and there's some oil check valves in the head I want to replace-these fail and let the oil drain back out of the heads causing a rattle on startup. 

 

Been pricing them up by searching for the part number and found the cheapest genuine parts online.

 

The reason for my grin? The cheapest parts are Lamborghini parts for a Gallardo, cheaper than from Audi

 

Go figure!

Its worth taking effervescent tablets for the flourescent piss its giving me alone.

Seems I have long lost italian relatives of vague connection

Did he bring half a pack of cigarettes and some sunglasses?

And was Pac Man remembered?

Its quite cool. Mum phoned me at 5pm just as I was in the zone doing work which annoyed me, think she was calling everyone! That tractor picture is sat on her sideboard. Apparently emails are being sent

Well you'd best come out to BG with the rest of us then you can stop by his on the way back.

Bloke I'm collecting the car from tomorrow has just rang. "Hi Pete. I noticed the steering wheel was very slightly off-centre, so I've had a full four wheel alignment done, a full valet, and I'm chucking in the Bluetooth adaptor so you can have handsfree on the satnav. I've put fuel in so you should be able to do the 180 miles home without needing to fill up. See you tomorrow"

 

Excellent behaviour. The Bluetooth adaptor alone is £150 secondhand.

 

I do like it when sellers are top notch. I've got a good feeling about this.

[wuvvum]

That's a cool story.  Typical shite local rag journalism though.

 

 

Luigi’s father Antonio was born on November 11, 1946 in Tiriolo, in Southern Italy

 

The child’s name should be Tony, or Anthony or Antonio, I’m not sure. “He should have been born in 1946, on November 17 or November 19

So Antonio had your uncle Tony when he was a week old.  Impressive!!!

You know I'll usually fill the tank of a car I've sold, partly because it seems the right thing to do, and I don't want the bastards gone rather than getting a proper look under those bright forecourt lights.

When I had to replace a door lock cable in my Audi 90, it was cheaper to get the part from the Porsche dealer who presumably loved me turning up and dropping filler on their forecourt.

I thought this was a sketch from a comedy show but it's not, fantastic , that really made me laugh

Just sold the tool kit out of the Silver Spur for £150 ! After selling the foot stools for £35 yesterday. It looks like I shall make a bit of profit out of the old girl if the correct key ever turns up. As I sold the delivery driver my spare 806 for the same money as the delivery I now have a Rolls Royce that stands me in at £350 bargain !!!!!

I suspect this is partly down to the buyer's attitude:  somehow I don't think you've been difficult* to sell to.

Nae gloves on the Polisman! :shock: :shock:

Turn the camera off and then kick the absolute living shite out of him !!

[hairnet]

ever seen the one where the spanish cops see a nicked bike going down an underpass

 

the seat cop car goes in one side............

 

guess what happens

 

that should be done here

I try not to mess anyone about. I'm not wearing rose-tinted glasses on this, though. The pics, description, history, story and the seller add up strongly enough for me to be getting up at 4.30 on a Saturday morning to drive 180 miles with a tame, garage owning Wookiee (who doesn't like Mercedes). It's getting a critical eye over it, but in all honestly I'm a little bit excited as well.

I've actually researched this one. Sat down, thought about it, made compromises, and other than the colour it's the spec I'd have ordered if I'd have had 50k spare 16 years ago (only 3 main options available and I only want two of them).

The last time I chose a car for myself like this it was my XJR and that was six years ago.

Even better is the Brazil video where a biker has his bike pinched at gunpoint

Just as the perp mounts up an off duty cop walks up and blows him away....

Job done

This is lovely. And also shows the seller knows it is going to a good home

I shouldn't have tittered... but I did.
