What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Cheggers]

Normally I'd say yes but you know he's done it in a smug ironic way and there's way he's keeping that shit* car, what will his friends* think?

And how do we "know" this?

 

Man buys old cheap unloved car and gets shit for it on Autoshite...this place gets more up it's own arse with it's inverse snobbery with every passing week.

How do we know this? From the Independent article:

 

Mr Church calls himself a “life hacker“

That does indeed suggest that someone is very much up their own arse.

So you can only buy an old car if you do it "our" way?

Oh, and if you read a lot of the posts on here, both car related and non-car related, life-hacking is very much in line with the Autoshite ethos (or at least it was...)

If he had done it ‘our way’ he would now have seven cars, all broken and be waiting for the RAC three miles from where he started on a collection Fred for a fucked Lancia.

He could have taxed it via monthly DD instead of for 6 months, then just cancelled the DD. Win!

 

Not that good a life hacker then lol.

Beginner's luck, dontcha know. Fair enough to him, he's not aiming for us as the audience.

Yeah, fully support the "hey look, train tickets are really expensive" message but there was no way that was the cheapest ticket so it loses a lot of credibility.

By travelling sensibly I can do Rugby to London return for less than £50

[bramz7]

Indeed. Even GWRs website lets you buy advance fares for £32 one way.

I've seen (pictures of) Bub's new motor. Absolutely nobody on here is going to buy anything worse all year, and that's a promise.

Steady on now! There's nowt wrong with it. It's something I've been after for a while at a price I could just manage and it gets me back on 3 wheels. Two is better but disabilities say nope. May not be to everyone's liking but it's had more likes than dislikes and it's well known round these parts and won a few trophies as well as made it into trike magazine centrefold. I'm going to change a few things and make it a slightly different style also.

Was beko on M40 south earlier in goona?

Wait, let me guess. You've got yourself a Reliant.

You really could not be more wrong. I guarantee your jaw will drop at its awesomeness when you see it. You won’t see another like it in a long while that’s for sure.

[purplebargeken]

Bub loves it which is the only real important bit to remember about all of this, about time he had some bloody fun in his life. 

 

It's a matt black, Reliant rat trike. 

[Eddie Honda]

Oh dear Bub...

 

[bub2006]

Is there a thread for bub's trike?

It's not to everyone's tastes but yes I'd be happy to do a thread. I posted here as it has made me grin which is something I've not done in a long time and I really like it.

[Saabnut]

 and I really like it.

 

And that. my friend, is all that matters! Good luck with it, I look forward to seeing pictures.

[bub2006]

Thanks,yes I'll get some half arsed pics and an half arsed thread up then at some point then

[bub2006]

yes, and no, well more no than yes but some yes You really could not be more wrong. I guarantee your jaw will drop at its awesomeness when you see it. You won’t see another like it in a long while that’s for sure.

It's actually more yes than no. Engine,box, chassis, brakes,axle,front and rear suspension all reliant. Lights seating and handlebars not reliant and no body in it.

[purplebargeken]

^^ Can we make half-arsed comments then?
