I’m about to bid on a mondaine desk cock! 

No wonder he’s not getting other bids!

Currently being chauffeured in an Armstrong Siddeley. Very agreeable I must say.

Is she filling the washer bottle up.

it's as much to do with teenagers having had everything done for them as having no clue about what goes on under the bonnet.

a mate worked with a guy in his fifties who asked him to look at his car because the oil light wouldn't go out , he dipped it and it was full , as in full to the top of the stick , when the light didn't go out he just kept filling it up

Sadly not that uncommon. The amount of blokes that cant fit wipers to a work van is unreal. 

Think they need to do an evening course in basic man skills,

Did they pay the £3 or whatever just to watch her work?

So you paid 51 quids for a desk cock? Or you didn't want it as much?

Most offices have a desk cock. 

Like the tyre fitter who came out to me once and said he would have to get an order number from "the swivelly chaired wanker".

No, outbid. £50 was my fixed limit.

You know how you see the Land Rovers with "One live... live it" stickers. I spotted one the other day with "One wife... leave it" ?

I think whoever wrote the speil may have got carried away; ABS probably doesn't feature on any Moskvitch, pick-up or otherwise.

My old boss ran transit minibuses and the drivers were always trying to change rear bulbs and screwing them up. Usually a twin element bulb rammed into a single socket (or vice versa, I forget which).

And "only 160,000 miles from new" which in 1989 was the equivalent of 3 million miles

[rmjbn1]

If putting an Abarth badge on a Panda is acceptable (it isn't), then why not FIAT's other in-house tuning arm?

As FIAT-Chrysler are now Citroen-Peugeot (and by extension also therefore Vauxhall), it finally gives me the excuse I've been looking for to put double chevrons on the boot of my Panda. And maybe a Chrysler moustache on its nose. Then perhaps on each wheel: lion, scorpion, griffin and horse. Or that Alfa Romeo worm thing.

Those drains are forever getting clogged, you can never find a lolly stick when you need one  

(does the 924 not have a rear wiper? I thought they had the same boot 'lid' as the 944? )

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Drill some strategic holes maybe?
