What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[vulgalour]

It's only a little grin this one.  Went to get paint for the Rover (yes I'm finally getting around to the jobs I need to do on it) and noticed after paying that what I thought was the paint I wanted, was a paint I didn't want, so got a refund and planned to go to another shop to get the correct paint.  Only, when I got home I found two tins of the correct paint I forgot I'd bought so now I don't actually need to buy any.  Which was nice.

/\ you should ask him if he want to flog the turbo to Bo11ox for his horsebox.

Being asked the following question (at the end of a long list) in a professional capacity:

 

"And what kind of colour is beige?"

 

Oh, you don't know? Let me familiarise you, with the help of a load of pictures of thoroughbred* vehicles from a forum I know......

It has to grin to have survived this -

In other not entirely unrelated news, the switch arrived & is now fitted so Bub has correctly functioning dipped/main & the trike can keep up with the reduced electrical loads. Note the pic is before I did any electrics so it's not my fault the leccy box under the bars is in bits.

Cheers for that! I don't think I'll keep twatting this switch with my knee either! Glad you enjoyed the ride. Certainly not as deathly as it looks. Don't forget the soldering iron........

[bub2006]

As for the leccy box,you unscrewed it first so as for apportioning blame.......

Lol, how coincidental! I was on google images looking up the Rover 827 for image of my favourite wheels for the nice wheels thread when I came across this image:

 

 

This is actually my car that I still own, seemingly, some Turkish "tuning" outfit saw fit to use the photo of my car to advertise thier product. Oddly enough, I have a flat and a wife in Turkey and I'll be there in a few days time.

 

The photo isn't technically mine, it was the eBay photo used to advertise my car when Very_Tall_Brad bought it originally before I bought it.

Walter Mitty lives again! Read through to the end, it’s hilarious.

Kids have cleared off to bed, sit down with a beer and watch the seminal 1970s The Driver. Hopefully we’ll get a thunderstorm as well.

If you replace the word fight with wank, fight club makes much more sense.

Worst analogy for Brexit ever.

 

[sierraman]

I’d be quite content with a Morris 1000.

[SiC]

Chassis looks have decent. I wish Brexit was going that well!

go exactly to the 25 minute mark   (the entire video is also well worth a watch IMHO )

I’d be quite content with a Morris 1000.

So, what I read into that- "What was promised= something impractical, expensive and flashy

"What was delivered" = more than what you'd expect but eh, familiar and cheap to remedy

 

How silly. So, as a change of direction:

 

I watched Star Trek 4 the other day. Much Californian shite to be viewed in the background.

The internet modem in this house finally died last night. It"s wifi is not going anywhere .

The grin. this very old Compaq computer which always runs perfectly is connected by wires to the net and still working happily 

 

EDIT:  Rang the providers service no. and the Indian sounding chap agreed the modem was not working so agreed to send a new one, and about 2 hours later received a text from the courier co, to say they had a sig. required packet on the way. Also impressed with the call handling system, they said a wait of 40-60 mins, but press 1 and we will call you when you get to no.1. Actually got a call much sooner so was very pleased.

I've tried this and it doesn't work.

Or...

[HillmanImp]

I’d be quite content with a Morris 1000.

I know, something simple to use, easy to repair and practical that can be used every day or a horrifically complicated, expensive, impractical, ego stroker that can only be used in rare specific circumstances.

 

I'd go with the Minor too.

Went to Coventry motor museum yesterday, was a great way to spend a couple of hours walking around.

 

Free entry is mad, the place was spotless. Would visit again,

Insurance Companies!

 

No wait, I know this is the grin thread.

 

Called up to change my insurance from the Civic to the Corolla and was told it was £25 admin fee to change. 

 

Fair enough, go for it. "Let me pop you on hold" followed by "Oh, my payment system isn't working, I'll just waive the admin fee. That's you covered"

 

Oh, OK then!

 

And it just passed it's MOT!

The DVLA being in this thread is pretty much unheard of but today they made it ! A nice new V5 arrived for the Renault 7 this morning. It only took about a week and the paperwork was sent with a dating certificate. It also proves that you can import a 40 year old car and there is no need to get an mot.
