Matty Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 13 hours ago, Mally said: Was unaware of this place. Thought I'd drop in on my way to Blackpool sometime. But at £10 each and no Seddons I'll probably give it a miss. @Mally, just for you pal. This is one of a small number of wagons my uncle Tony restored while he was a mechanic for Whitbreads in Blackburn when I was little. The photo above is of him and my dad on the London to Brighton (on overtime!!) He also did a Thorneycroft 6 wheeler that my dad used to drive on the runs in Duttons of Blackburn livery.

EyesWeldedShut Posted Saturday at 06:59 AM Share Posted Saturday at 06:59 AM Nurse let me out yesterday to drive her and her neddy over to civilisation (England, Herefordshire - cue 'Jerusalem' being sung at the border) so I got to see some modern stuff as opposed to the average old stuff we see here. Ford EcoSport? Ugliest smol car I've seen in years, so ugly it stood out in the amassed blobdem that is traffic these days - I honestly would add that to the 'cars you never knew existed thread' if I could stand the abuse I'd get.

Markeh Posted Saturday at 10:48 AM Share Posted Saturday at 10:48 AM Kwik Fit in "surprisingly not shit" shocker Looking for a tyre place to sort my puncture/change the tyre if necessary, happened to see a local Kwik Fit had sod all cars in and looked deserted so chanced my arm. From pulling onto the forecourt to driving off with a fixed puncture, in 15 minutes. No upsell, no hassle, absolutely cannot fault them.

I struggled like fuck in the heat to swap 4 range rover wheels over only to find out I'd put the 2 unbalanced ones on the front and there was a wobble at speed, was in Widnes so called in to MGS Tyres , £5 a corner to balance them , if i'd known that somebody was still working at 1995 prices i wouldn't have struggled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markeh Posted Sunday at 09:36 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:36 PM Drove up to the land of Volvos and square sausage today. Got another friend in tow who doesn't particularly do long journeys. We stopped at Scotch Corner first then at Gretna Green. Leaving Gretna I'm surprised to see my friend turn left when Google Maps says to turn right. They had somehow managed to set their maps to Scotch Corner again, and realised when they passed a farm shop 5 miles away from it...

Datsuncog Posted Tuesday at 03:03 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:03 PM Sorting out my emails, and although I normally just nuke all the shit in my junk mail folder without even looking at it (you know the sort of thing... free online casino spins, discount dick pills, hot bored housewives in my area and, for some reason, Anglian Windows), today I scrolled down briefly. Yeah yeah, the usual assorted scams and identically poorly-worded ransom demands claiming I collected all your private data and I RECORDED YOU (through your cam) SATISFYING YOURSELF! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN! I will release this footage to all your email and social media contacts and your reputation will be RUINED FOREVER!! Yeah, by all means go ahead and release footage of me scrolling through eBay listings for hopelessly corroded end-of-life cars. It's not like it's a secret to my long-suffering friends, family and colleagues. I'm not going to send you £1400 in BitCoin; hell, I could get that green Senator on Buy It Now for that sort of cash... dome, warch, Coprolalia and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted Tuesday at 03:32 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:32 PM But the main reason for the grin was that, amid all the scam competitions, there was a genuine competition win that I nearly deleted - a code for a £50 voucher from Oxford Diecast, in a recent prize draw (which I did enter). Wasn't 100% sure of the legitimacy at first, but I navigated to their website separately, made a few selections from their catalogue and the code was accepted at the checkout so... guess I'll wait and see what arrives! somewhatfoolish, Tickman, GrumpiusMaximus and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I entered that competition too but kept up my streak of never winning anything. Spotted a familiar name among the winners and assumed it must be you so I was a bit surprised you hadn't commented here. New free stuff to show off in the Shite in Miniature thread!

Datsuncog Posted Tuesday at 04:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:12 PM It was just as well I checked - I've the junk folder set to auto-delete spam after 10 days, and the email with the code was less than an hour from being wiped when I opened it! somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
