What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[The Moog]

On pistonheads everybody tells you a non fault claim counts against you so your premium increases

 

We had one last year, this year same company £15 less and last year's was the best quote I got so that's bollocks

I have had two over space of ten years, one when my car was in a works carpark and someone reversed into it - premium went up.

 

Then I was stopped turning right indicating and someone went into the car behind and into me - premium went up.

 

So wasn't bollocks in that case.

Was stopped in traffic, squinted. Decided the designers at Kia looked at a Citroën GSA and decided they liked the overall shape.

Not car related but my son was born yesterday morning

 

Aside from that mega grin also wanted to shout out all the maternity staff at Leeds LGI who were absolutely awesome x 1million

 

NHS rulez ok!

Congratulations!

I'm thinking 'Riva'.

What about Lakia or Sputnik?

I've just had a lift in a Russet Brown Austin Maxi.

 

I have one of those!

Wonder how he got a Dutch 2cv? They were used extensively in the Netherlands as they are great on cobbled roads, there were still police 2cvs in use in quieter areas when I lived there in the early 90s.

Don't waste money on winter tyres. Just buy a tin of spray on grip.

"Through early morning fog I see

Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please"

 

 

Yes, 'Hot lips' Houlihan, it's an SJ with bits chopped off.

Found something cool today. Some obsolete technology.... on a BT PhoneCard.

Was that included with the handbook so you could ring the AA during the warranty period?

Some twat using the exit ramp from my car park to turn his car around - leaving me sitting on an uphill ramp with the electric gates wanting to close

 

Grin comes when he reversed his 66 plate E class into a bollard. Hard. Despite having sensors and a camera.

We're really trying to improve* on the forum's last success, I see.

Organised to go and view (probably buy!) A gt86.

 

Slight logistical issue, it's in Lancaster.

 

About 3 hours away.

I passed one yesterday on the way through Wroxham.  V plater.

 

I also saw an Aston Martin Cygnet, bouncing towards me along a fen road about 10 minutes after leaving Skattrd's yesterday.  Looked proper out of place.

[LightBulbFun]

the latest RCR is pretty damn grin worthy   (funnily enough we had a family friend who we called "uncle mike" and he owned a couple Routemasters...)

 

 

 

(one of the comments say: ""Multi-Fuel'"   When my father was in the Army, they were told that in an emergency, these could run on oil-based paint." I wonder if it actually could? I imagine it would prolly jam the injectors up in no time esp if it dried out....)

Dunno why its sideways, but theres a bigger issue.

The London ULEZ requirements are getting beyond a joke

[fairkens]

Sorry for delay, been a bit hectic with the little fella. Thank you to you all.

 

I shattered but loving it.

 

He's Felix so not really car related although i did bring him in a maroon mk2 mondeo

[Richard]

Felix is the male version of Felicia, that'll do.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I assumed, as will everyone else , that you named him after this man;

 

Probably as well not to use his second name though.

Nice long drive, then.

Apparently he bought it in Amsterdam on a trip* in 1974 and never got round to registering in for a few years.
