What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[DSdriver]

Lock-ups around here are selling for 30 bags. That's why they charge like a wounded rhino for rentals.

[DSdriver]

We're off on our hols tomorrow, looks like the floppytop is going to be down more than up this year

[Pillock]

I'm at the Transport Museum in Wythall. Literally crashing my yoghurt truck at every turn. They've got loads of free mags and books too, and some carrier bags to help you cart them home. LOOK.

 

 

Have the ASMM been here for a gathering yet? If not, totally recommended - four quid entry and a cafe run by pleasantly confused gent selling home made cakes and tea in little pots.

 

I'll do a proper writeup in due course

Stopped for ice cream in haverhill

 

This parked next to me then this came in

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Picked up an elderly couple from Tilbury Cruise Terminal this morning and on the way round the M25 we passed a young man in an old blue roadster, dwarfed by all the other traffic.

The old boy was reminiscing about when he had a Spitfire identical to it and regaled me with tales of escapades and breakdowns until it had to go when he got married.

 

I was biting my tongue the whole time and my inner pedant was desperate to tell him it wasn't a Spitfire at all, but a Fairthorpe, I resisted and enjoyed his stories.

 

 

Pretty sure it was this actual car

[Pillock]

Yes. They had loads of random old electric car literature from the 70s, felt a bit guilty grabbing too much.

 

I'll summarise when I get home, I might pass it on if it's not my bag. Seems to be someone's travel journal of living with an electric vehicle

[hairnet]

On the bike heading up the M11 passed by a French reg Hyundai 4x4

 

Not two miles later we passed a French 59 reg 2cv Lille I think

 

Even though they're in the south of England it's a fair way in one of those and they said to tell marsden to mtfu

[fordperv]

Not long got in from fordfair, a great day even if it was over run with new focus and fiesta

 

 

 

If I get chance later I will put some pictures up

[155V6]

I can haz a Ford Puma.Should be picking it up in the week,No collection thread as it's within walking distance

[catsinthewelder]

I'm at the Transport Museum in Wythall.

 

Have the ASMM been here for a gathering yet? If not, totally recommended -

Yes, a small crowd of us trekked across after the Electric Railway museum visit last year and had a cracking time.

[Pillock]

Curious about the electric car book, any chance of more info?

Professor gets piss taken out of him for lecturing environmental studies whilst driving a 20MPG truck.

 

Professor buys an electric converted used US Ford Escort that can do 65mph and 60 miles on a charge, in 1991, and drives it 3000 miles home.

 

Just starting it, it's pretty good. Just documents his journey and is nicely split between the technology and the journey and history.

 

Happy to pass it on when done.

[Wack]

Not happy with the throttle response on your Bugatti Veyron, add a sports exhaust in stainless steel for £11,200 , want the extra speed that weight saving brings, add it in titanium for £26,760

If that 107" was based at Bearwood Garage, chances are I've been in that when I was nipper, my Grandad was quite a senior manager at Midland Red and my Dad a Motorways Express driver, we often seemed to have the Land Rover or a Thruppenny Bit to take stuff to the tip or whatever. As a 5 year old I was fascinated by all the gear levers.

[Pillock]

Can I have it please.

 

Happy to then pass on to 2nd dibser.

I shall PM you when I'm done

This one is sign written Hereford but apparently they had a fleet of 20 as tow vehicles!

Are they trolling by using a beetle outline?

[Aston Martin]

They're filming a Men In Black spinoff in London. (I had no idea either)

 

But there's a new car, this sweet Jag.

[dozeydustman]

My family came down from Kent today. Moving to a larger property with garden and proper lounge etc so I can entertain guests really makes me feel good. Hopefully once we've got the spare bedroom sorted it means I can help put people up with colekshon capers.

Mildly witty, I'll grant;)

[Cavcraft]

Went on my work's do last night and got absolutely wankered, it was a great night out.

[Guest Hooli]

[Sloth in a bowl]

[Tamworthbay]

Nice views around here.

Ah, good old Bradford

[M'coli]

Being overtaken yesterday by a bad-ass middle-aged biker on his bad-ass custom bike, and he's so bad-ass he's not got full leathers on but a sleeveless denim jacket so you can see his bad-ass tattoos all the way up his arms...to his bad-ass bingo wings which are flapping around in the breeze!

[M'coli]

Ah that's a shame. Still, it might not matter at all if I can't get the CoD reversed!!! Ha ha

If that's the case, what about the 818 in the yard in Balby that's still on the DVLA website? Ok so I took these photos last October but I'd forgotten about them until now.
