What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[LightBulbFun]

 

You know when you were a teenager and got mildly drunk on crap alcohol at a friend's house?  That's how watching this makes me feel.  It's great.

 

 

Loved this episode THIS is what a sleeper is (in more then 1 sense LOL)

 

 

 

 

I so want to see him review an Invacar, if nothing else just to see what his hints would be on social media 

 

(every sunday he will tweet out some hints as to what the review on monday will be about)

There is no excuse for this. Kill it, kill it now. It is the Enemy.

 

(Yes, I detest them. But yes, I meant this comment with humour. Anyone that is 'offended' can GTF, all the way TF.)

I'm not offended you don't like the car but can I be offended that you think others may be offended so therefore making presumption?!

Bought a bargain of a Citroen picasso for a ton. Decent interior but engine was shagged as was the exterior. I've swapped the interior over into mine,removed the towbar for mine too. That's a couple of hundred quid to buy an interior with doorcards and a towbar second hand on eBay for a start. Also have the lights for sale front and rear and relieved the boot struts for mine too. Still managed to sell the remains and the cat for 120 quid. I have some scrap to weigh in and the battery to weigh in too for a few more quid.and I had the sense to remove a straight section of exhaust to use as a decat pipe on mine too so I can get rid of the cat for another few Bob. All in all a nice little money spinner.

Got sent onto a bullshit box ticking 4 week long course.

 

managed to talk myself out of being there in under an hour because i was more qualified to be teaching the course than the lecturer

I would have stayed. And planned world domination.

All you need is a clip board, a lanyard, a fake ID and the right high visibility work wear.

I'm a bogus official. Let me in.

I'm offended that your not offended!

Hatred of Citroen Picassos is classist.

I utterly hate Picasso's but I really like Scenic II. What does that make me?

 

(Around here I actually see more knackered Scenics than Picassos)

And anti-cubist, regardless of the round shape of the object.

[loserone]

Hatred of Citroen Picassos merely demonstrates that you haven't driven Scaryoldcortina's.

[bub2006]

Scary cortinas picasso is the red and silver one? I owned that when it was just red and rust with an oil leak that would shame the hexxon Valdez and not much compression. Chompy bought it and shoehorned a ew10 engine to the manual box and it was a bit of a quick machine

The breaker was an 05 with 120k in clock. Was in fair worse condition than mine which is an X reg so a very early one with 180k.

That's the badger. Its been out with a customer for a while, but yes it's a hoot to drive.

 

I have an EW10 to go in my 405, I just* need to take some time off work to hoik the engine out of the 206 shell it's sitting in. And/or make lots of tea and try not to get in Scaryoldcortina's way.

[bub2006]

It was quite potent in the xsara picasso. Citroen should have made a vts picasso. They missed a trick

Despite being awake 27 hours and driving from 11:30pm to 4am to get to Gatwick... Then the world's smallest plane and the hotel warning me not to go outside between the hours of 00:00-11:59 on a Monday to Sunday... And to lock valuables in their safe as I guess they have rogue cleaners............

 

I'm in the taxi and within 10 minutes there's a raspberry Seat Marbella. (Of course fuck the Marbella, but it was nice to see)

 

 

In Barcelona BTW. Number 1 city for pickpockets, fantastic.

 

I shall be hiring a Yamaha Tricity 125 at some point. I have never driven a scooter, but hopefully being a three wheeler I won't go through a gypsies house.

Have you met my cousin then?

2004. I was driving a mk3 Astra in a 30 zone heading past the local industrial estate.

A silver Picasso was braking and moving to the left and was going about 10 mph as it suddenly turned right to go into the Tesco staff car park.

My front wing hit the back of its driver side front light and removed it from behind.

All the panels on the passenger side of my Astra were fucked as was a wheel and the front suspension, from mounting the curb.

The driver, told me that she hadn't been indicating, and that she was not hurt.

 

She changed her story later. Got a pay out for whiplash.

 

My Astra was written off.

 

I remember her name clearly, and have struggled to disassociate the brand and model of car, with the type of person who works in HR, has a nice family, goes to church on a Sunday, voted liberal democrate, and lies through their fucking Arse.

 

So much so that when a bloke I worked with sold his Saxo VFR and bought one, to carry his tiny new born baby in, I refused to talk to him for months.

 

I'm probably over it.

Probably.

When's the mot due?

If you're keeping it then don't forget the cat is needed for the visual check of the exhaust these days.....

That dreadful twat doesn't make me grin, quite the opposite.

[Sir Snipes]

Looks like Scott Bacula in that screen grab!

[sierraman]

Handy seller on eBay to bear in mind H2Fconnectors. Sells replacement connectors for wiring, bought a replacement coil wiring loom for the Focus. £15 delivered. Apart from the worlds worst crimp connectors it worked fantastic. Handy to know!

I don't think it is on an X plbut I would stand to be corrected

[HillmanImp]

On the way home tonight I was doing some spirited driving down some back roads in the Visa.

 

I caught up with a Seat Ibiza (I think, a small white Seat anyhow) and nearly hit the back of it when he randomly stopped when another car was coming the other way.

 

Anyhow, he drives off a bit faster than he was previously but I can keep up with him round the corners but he's pulling away on the straight bits obviously. He was obviously giving it a bit as he was taking the racing line and was going much faster than he was when I originally caught up with him.

 

Anyhow, I stayed right behind him until we got to the villiage and he indicated to go into the Co-op. I didn't need to go into the shop for owt but decided to anyhow, just so that he could see that I was in a 30yr old pensioner mobile.

[loserone]

Was he a 30 year old pensioner?

[drivewaymyway]

Someone writing a massive word 'C#NT' in the dirt on my wanky neighbours Mercedes 250CDI that he decided to put a 'Personal' plate on a couple of weeks ago.. It hasn't happened yet, but it might.... I hope... Please....

Oh boy.

 

My grin for the day.  Was walking to the Post Office (still no Golf, still at the garage) and I see a giffer on his driveway getting out of his Dacia Sandero Stepway and walk up to the boot of his other car to get something out.  His other car?  A Dacia Duster.  Both in resale white.

 

He is living the dream.
