What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

^ I would like to order suits made of all of those materials.

 

I remember finding out you could get a sofa from the London Transport museum made out of Routemaster seat fabric, I wanted (still do!) one so badly LOL

I was taking a Radio 4 quiz earlier on (happy to report I'm a meme expert) and was pleased to note that their was a Mark 1 Laguna (albeit a facelift) in one of the pictures.

Saw this the other day at the Barlborough junction (30) of the M1 and wondered what it was.

 

 

 

Turns out there is a story to it all be it not very exciting.

I like these little curios of the UK road network.

[beko1987]

That's more interesting than exciting tbh, I hope some enthusiast pinches it to save it rather than it just going for scrap

[LightBulbFun]

one thing I would do, is stick a contact me/contact details sheet on it in a couple locations

 

thats worked well in the past for collectors wanting to save rare streetlights

 

(bonus points if you have a Key to open the door in the column and can stick a note in there too  )

Mugs of hot piss make great baths for Lacewings,

Today while enjoying an espresso outside Greggs I watched as a bloke had to keep walking back to his (Vauxhall) van to try to stop the alarm going off as soon as he walked away. In the end I offered to keep an eye on the van so he didn't need to lock it. He was convinced his wife had fitted a pasty alarm to the van so that it would go off if he tried to go in Greggs.

Lacewings!  That's what those fucking things are called.  There was one buzzing around in my car the other day and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name for them.

I think cars are spawning grounds/regeneration centres/save points in their games of life for Lacewings, I rarely see them anywhere else.

Sorry, have to.....

Anonymous:  Sounds like separation anxiety to me.  Our dog was just the same.  He needs to leave a smaller Vauxhall with the van to keep it company until it's used to him not being around.

So, after the usual fucking about, wrong parts sent and undoing previous owners bodgery, today this was achieved

Whilst filling up the wheely bin earlier I spied an unusual roof rack through some trellis in the adjacent parking area. Turns out it adorns a Volvo Amazon estate, very nice and absolutely on my want list. However, even better tucked away from passing eyes on the roadside in re-sale re-sale grey was a... Lancia Y10. In the bay for the person who lives 3 doors down. It's an LHD one, but I think I may have to leave a little note to say 'Hi' and send them this way.... unless they're already here of course!

Scottish football plumbs new depths. Getting a shooing by Kazakhstan. The greatest moment in Scottish football? Maradona's hand of god goal.

ASDA are selling this. Didn't buy obviously.

Yes, I know I flounced, but I forgot I'd set this up...on a car with a 666 plate too.

Nice unflounce!

I think I styled it out OK

Not my photo but apparantly tied in such a manner because the handbrake was weak

Can't get away from them lol

 

Lady in Gunther's behind me said you're not local are you - neither was she - from Kent

 

There's also a British import shop across the street gonna go and have a look

 

Going to Chatham to look for.motorcycle parts and look at the lighthouse

This rather cheerful warning notice on a fantastically well-designed piece of office equipment.

Wow. We only specified cross cutting for secure documents.

Never thought of burning it too.

 

Excellent.

Got my insurance renewal through for the Princess.  £61.60

 

I've gone through the documents and it doesn't appear to be a typo, so I must be officially old now.

[Aston Martin]

OK, I'm sorry, I apologise, but I fucking laughed.

I had a flick thru it in my local Tesco. Most disappointed that the K-series head gasket fixing guide related to an MG-F, hardly a standard fucking location for a K really, is it ?

 

Muttered 'chocolate teapot' to myself and then went into the chocolate teapot aisle and found what I needed there.

It would be interesting* to know, of the K series engined cars that survive, the proportion which are mid mounted. The MG Z cars and the 25/45/75 Rovers must be an endangered species by now. 95%* of the Elises sold are probably still on the road.

 

* not an actual statistic

[clayts450]

There's still loads around according to How Many Left....

 

Yes, it would be interesting* to compare survival rates with production numbers, but then you have to factor in the fact a lot of cars were probably scrapped for OMGHGF-alike symptoms which were probably no more than the need for a new expansion bottle pressure cap.....makes me sad, that

 

Anyway, two Ks here, one indestructible early one, one chocolate later one.

[Garythesnail]

One trouble-free* KV6 daily, two road-legal working VVC's here. Best not mention 2 VVC's and on 135 in need of light* restoration work. Two in the middle, three up front. I will definitely* get them all back on the road.

 

Edit: I see you have a streetwise - still a load of the buggers in Carmarthenshire and still look smart.
