What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

What makes me grin....

 

Jonathon "stating the feckin obvious" Legard has been replaced by Brundle on the Beeb commentary for F1.

Legard was a lot better on radio than tv for some reason. Brundle & Coulthard doing commentary together should be very good.

Maestro and Montego. For all its naysayers I say this.... Launched 1983 and still being churned out. Viva La British car industry (sort of )

heard this earlier and it made me grin too!

[Cavcraft]

Trigger's (and one or two other's) avatar pictures are certainly keeping me happy.

The Mrs has been out all evening, Ive bought some car related crap off the internet, almost finished a cracking bottle of red and the Young Ones are on Gold. Win!

 

Edit: OMG - Multipack of Transform-a-snack in the cupboard!!!

[Pillock]

I have a company provided car, on company petrol.

I'm in a hotel the company paid for.

I've just pushed so much food in my mouth I thought I was going to burst. Three courses. Didn't cost me a penny.

I'm working 6 hour days.

 

This, and the fact the HOT WAITRESS was flirting with me whilst I propped the bar up. Laura, the one with the nice smile and even nicer boobs. Almost makes having to ask for a "table for one" worthwhile.

That looks like a Montego Countryman crossed with some sort of VAG

I'd roll that (With an edited front end)

 

What about visiting SEL Imperial panels and buying a full brand new Montego front end to fit, and colour matching. Hey Presto, a 60 plate Monty!

All we'd need is to place a bulk order for the cars and sell them under a name like Application, or Ledbarry...

 

All seriousness though, the thought of a 60-plate Monty does appeal... Yema (the people in charge of putting Daewoo Lacetti headlights on to Montegos, it appear) do a pretty good looking Monstro van as well, though it's apparantly fitted with a 1300cc engine no doubt of A-series origin. Emissions, you say... AUTOSHITERS - ARE YOU READY?!?!?!?!

[outlaw118]

Van? Looks like a Monty front end....

 

What a horror. Where do I sign?

[Cavcraft]

That is fantastic. From the general shiteness to the trim-less steelies and nasty looking headlights it's got win written all over it.

truely horrendous 'improvement'

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but DHL did a sterling job, delivering a package to my door in a matter of hours. Top work, you hellish bastards. Oh, and the package contained a huge pile of 1980s C&SCs....

[cms206]

The ultimate optimist? I've checked his other listings and he doesn't have any tax free Series II Defenders... didn't put this in ebay tat as even though it is very nice, I wouldn't pay that for a real one...

Jo jobbed!

 

[autofive]

this bloke thinks everything is worth a lot of money - look at his other listings and completed ones

 

why dont we all offer 99p for the corgi crap?

 

 

EDIT: scrub that idea - just realised he wants 75 notes to post it

[cms206]

Jo jobbed!

 

 

 

Where do I place my order?!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I just bought a new mig Welder.

 

 

I used 'google shopping' and have paid £300 inc delivery, it almost seems too cheap - the next cheapest one is £350 + delivery and if youre a fruitcake you can pay up to about £550 for exactly the same one. Just need a rusty old shitter to test it on!

[Minimad5]

Nice looking set-up Bol'

Do update us with how it is, as i'm in need of an "Upgrade"

Seeing a Fiat panda with 8 large rolls of what looked like loft insulation on the roofrack... NOT GR8 4 LOW BRIDGES

What are you, a fecking bank president????? Even I'm jealous, and look where I live!

 

On the plus side, I really really want one of those Montego vans, but it will need the 2.0EFI under the hood...

[eddyramrod]

I used to! 60 million of the buggers and counting, but now I've escaped!

Cypress is a type of tree, Cyprus is an island.

[eddyramrod]

Yes, I didn't want to seem TOO pedantic there...

[seth]

"Cypress Hill is an American Latino hip hop group from South Gate, California."

[eddyramrod]

The ladeez are indeed hot Norm, but I brought my own just in case... And yes, there is a frontier running across the island as a result of the 1974 unpleasantness, but mostly it's no trouble.

Gas and air is awesome. I had to try it myself
