What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Wack]

Not really sure this made me grin but it did make me quite emotional , what an incredibly brave thing to do 

Airborne museum in Normandy

Saw this shop in Bayeux 

The picture under it is what makes it interesting

I scare the children from the door with my teeth on a bi weekly basis the rest of the year! 

Am I hallucinating or did I see you on some weird ITV game show? I only caught the last few seconds as I'd switched over for some other programme.

No that did really happen! What channel was it on?

There's another one up the drive too, but it's not very well...

In the photo though, 7.5L and 450hp. If only that was in one car!

[eddyramrod]

I can claim 7.7 in one car! :)  Doesn't make 450 bhp but I bet it's got nearly as much torque as three Volvos.

[reb]

800-odd nm between the 3 of them ?

I was kind of channel surfing so no idea, sorry. Did you win?

A bit of an inherent fault in the new transit. I wonder how many phones were sacrificed before they started fitting that sticker.

Wow that is a bit of a design fail  

[Richard]

The whole thing is made of design fails. Their habit of spreading diesel on roundabouts is probably the worst, somebody should go to jail for that. 

[paulplom]

How does that happen?

No fuel cap and the filler is set low down in the tank. There's some kind of internal flap arrangement but it doesn't work.

Like the original Mini Metro. Quality

What makes me grin? Sticking a manky Marina Coupe on the cover of MotorPunk magazine.

I've just got £5000 worth of industrial shelving for £150 off ebay, and then managed to get it all delivered from central london to Chesterfield for £100. Amazing!

[Kiltox]

Industrial shelving seems to depreciate worse than a Vauxhall bought at full list price

Boot sale yesterday I saw 3 small picture frames , picked them up asked the guy what he wanted for them, he took them off me,looked at them and said 50p each

There's just no helping some people , they're just born thick and that's it

Once bought a fruit machine from a cocky prat I worked for years ago.

He thought he’d had me stitched as he took my £50 and went on to tell me he’d lost the keys.

He’d managed to force the lock on the bottom box and empty the cash but the tosser overlooked the hoppers which still contained £220 in change.

HKS blow off valve turned up at Kyles gaff - apparently it is  'a good one' and the adaptor is worth the purchase price alone. I know two thirds of fuck all about these things (I feel like I should be ashamed to admit that, but I'm not strangely) and all in is a bargain. Also had an e-mail from 'Bigdug' about all the shelving and the workbench, will be delivered tomorrow. This is good but somewhat confused my son as I said (joking when he was being a git!  ) that I cancelled the order.

To be honest, I was a bit upset that he would think I'd really cancel a gift even if I was REALLY upset instead of just having some banter with him. Just shows how easy it is to get the wrong end of the stick when e-mailing or texting.

However, I am impressed with this company: they have kept me informed all along and I bought this stuff on Friday night (might have been Thursday....) and delivered tomorrow, I even have the tracking details for TNT not that these details work of course but that isn't their fault
