Had a great night in liverpool last night at the naval club, it was a cabaret night hosted by Ricky tomlinson with Tony Barton and Stephanie Ayres doing slots of comedy. that mrs fp got us all tickets for, I didn't stop laughing all night, it was like going back in time all it was missing was fag smoke in the air

Its funny who you meet in the toilets

A great bloke in my eyes had lots of time for people

 

I wouldn’t have recognised him! He’s still fighting the imprisonment conviction isn’t he?

[richardmorris]

Sublet and spend the £££ on hoovers.

Hell its closer than mine ( well dads ) in north wales which is 210 miles from me! Is there a site to find these local authority garages?

Soz for surreptitious potato cam shot but loved the arse end of this Rover 25 I parked up next to in Ilkeston with every 'go faster' badge going - 16V, Motorsport, SRi, Type R. The wheel arches were in black....gaffertape.

 

 

So you'd imagine the driver would be some chavved up yoof, right ?

 

You'd be wrong - it was a gifferette with a lovely silver perm. WTAF

 

(As payback, my 45's alarm then went off, then the old starter motor problem came back to haunt me after many weeks absent, so I was stuck there for a few minutes faffing about waiting for the lovely V6 roar to kick in again - damn shame cos there could have been a lovely convoy of another 45 saloon, the Motorsport 25 and my V6 filing out of the car park together).

Been to see the chef James Martin on his tour in Bournemouth tonight. Who would of thought watching a bloke cook on stage would be so much fun. The rest of Bournemouth can do one though 18 quid to park for the night and the hotel is a fucking maze it took us half hour to find the room.

Modified cars are for pricks

 

I agree.

 

Here's mine

[tooSavvy]

I agree.

 

Here's mine

 

 

 

Ah... So no one wants to see my 'stealth' pooper-pipe, then

[Tickman]

I agree.

 

Here's mine

 

 

 

 

I've not seen that about, I would have noticed!

It's off the road at the moment, but has been on the roads of Dundee (on and off) for nearly 10 years now!

 

Just the 2 engines and 3 gearboxes in that time....

My commute has gone from a 10 mile round trip, to 3.

 

It'll save me hours a week in traffic, and then theres those weeks when I'm working away, which means sometimes my car will barely do double digits a week... So why do I have 2 of the bastards? (Three if I count the Parade)

[robinmasters]

Bargain.

While looking at Amazon product description for an amplifier board I came across these reassuring words:

Comprehensive protection: Reverse connection protection/ Speaker output short circuit protection/ Power anti-shock protection/ no "POP" sonic boom when turn on/turn off

And then these instructions:

2. Please mount install this amplifier bpard on somewhere without metal and other conductive objects to avoid causing short circuit or current sound;
3. Increase the heat sink when meeting with high-voltage power supply, cooling at high power output state.

 

The Engrish is strong with this one!

When that track snaps its going to lash its way through the fuel tank and set your bollocks on fire.

When. Not if.

[Fumbler]

Saw this again. I have to say, it did put a massive grin on my face.

Where can I buy one! That is the most awesome thing I have seen in years.

I've been listing a load of stuff from my mum's house on ebay.... books, china, soft toys - anything that I reckon has collector value.

I got a bit bored and silly when I was listing a set of my old kids books from the early 80s, and wrote a "funny" listing.

One of my mates spots it, posts the link to facebook with a "lol look at this tool" sort of thing.

 

Got home, there's 131 views (most of the other books have less than 5) and someone has bid them up to £7.50 so far! Hopefully the rest will go viral too, I was going to think myself lucky to get 99p for them.

Knees down on that risks degloving of the scrotum.

Perhaps its for use with that teste remover someone was flogging recently.

I had a great day working on the car at the weekend and it made me feel like I'm making some progress on this 'learning how to fix cars' thing.

Last October it took me 2 weekends to get the drivers wing off to look at an inner wing hole, and I'd never welded a car before so didn't know where to start. A year later and on Sunday I removed the wing, welded up a small 20p sized hole (using my own mig welder), ground it back smooth, applied rust converter, red oxide primer and had the wing back on in time for a gin and tonic at sunset.

Last October it took me 2 weekends to get the drivers wing mangled beyond repair.......

Years later I removed everything I could get my hands on, welded up a small 20p sized hole (then got fed up clearing feed jams), kicked a few things around the floor, threw a tantrum for a while and went home in time for a gin and tonic at sunset.

 

 

Fixed for my reality............... I now have lots of jealous!

I wondered why kwik fit had stopped advertising

 

It seems you can get better than a kwik fit fitter
