What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Captain Furious]

My wiper blades have been split since the beast from the east.  It was getting to the poinbt of being barely driveable in the rain so I ordered some new ones from ECP at 1pm.  Got 50% off and free same day delivery, they were here by 3pm.  What a time to be alive.

[Captain Furious]

Scratch that, they're the wrong ones, typical ECP shit, useless cunts.  Please move post to grumpy thread etc

The good* news is she's already inherited her brother's car.

Flippin' brilliant!   Sorry to laugh, but that is my life summed up in two consecutive posts.....

[Captain Furious]

Yeah its fucking typical innit.  I don't know why I allow myself to believe.

 

Been in the queue for customer services now for an hour and, I suspect, cut off a while ago because its been at position 9 for some considerable time.  I started at 42 - obviously i'm not the only one they have wronged today.   I suspect same day delivery is going to cost me a couple of days chasing replacement\my money back

I saw an MGF and a Fiat Coupe in rush hour traffic.

I managed to get my car insurance renewal down from £480 to £370 on the phone. Knocked off a named driver who doesn't use the car any more took about £60 off, and then she listened to my buttery charm and knocked another £50 off.

 

Oh, and Japan was ace! Flew the missus out for a week to meet me and we had an amazing time, I finally got to take an R34 Skyline round the mountain roads and it was amazing. Hit 3k RPM and the world just goes backwards, and it sticks to the road like shit on a blanket.

 

I asked the missus to marry me, she said yes.

 

But the Skyline just ticked every box for me, what a motor!

Technically I was sat in a car.

 

There’s this local church that’s on a junction, they have this sign that never makes any sense. Today was “Don’t go to waste. Let Jesus recycle you”

 

Which I’m struggling to work out, so I checked street view.

 

“Your honour, not once did God say not to choke the Thai whore with iPhone headphones. Therefore I should be released immediately.”

Order of priority seems correct there. Congratulations on the car (and new wife)

My lad passed his driving test yesterday  (monday) !!

 

Jammy little shit did it first time too.

 

Good job he lives too far away from me to natter for a car!

No broken glass or stabbed tyres?

He can't have fucked Isabelle more than a handful of times if that's all that's happened.

She's probably worth a couple of hours with a machine polisher.

Been working on my landy series project. 3 ish years ago I dropped the ignition switch and now have a rats nest of wiring and no clue which one goes where. Googled the lucas part number, and there's someone on a lotus elan forum asking the same question. Wiring colours match the lotus so wired it up as per instructions, wcpgw?

 

Only turned out to be right. Disconnected coil until I got oil pressure, reconnected and it fired up straight away. Got to love 2 1/4's.

Smooth as silk when running right too, lovely lumps.

when telling family and friends this tale ,in the company of said future wife. When asked what Japan was like remember to say the bit about proposing and saying yes first. Then do how good car was. Get this wring and you will pay for it one day. Women are like that. Very nice and beautiful creatures, but mad.

Well....

Maybe Isabelle isn't human?

Been hunting for a car... any car to keep me mobile. Messaged a friend on Facebook who has three cars, a van and a Jeep thing. He is (or so I thought) in Sweden as he is in the process of moving over there. He just came round and we talked about cars. Mini Cooper 'S' for £1100, 54 Modus for £500 or I can borrow his 08 plate Vauxhall estate thing for nuffing! It's both manual and diesel, both of which I hate, but hey, what a star eh?

 

He's just cleaning the junk out of it then bringing it round. I hope with a fresh valet and a full tank!

[twosmoke300]

Octavia would have been perfect 

[Ghosty]

Y U NO COOPER S?

[John F]

Isn't it nice when you get a quick win?

 

My Disco 300 TDi has been sluggish for a while, I poked around under the bonnet last weekend & found a hole in the elbow hose between the turbocharger outlet & the intercooler pipe.

 

New elbow hose was delivered for £8.50 or so and fitted in 5 mins, Disco now picks up nicely when the turbo kicks in

Do NOT buy the Modus. As practical as they may appear. It will go wrong with a bill that dwarfs the value of the vehicle.
