What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[chaseracer]

 

I grin on noticing that the Metro is not significantly different in size to the A35. Try that with a 2011 Coarser or Fiasco...

[tonedepear]

there's every chance it'll be completely fucked. Fingers crossed...

 

Well...

It could be worse. First job is getting the clutch pedal to move...

[trigger]

HOT! I love the colour!, being a 1961 model I'm guessing it's the 1.0 engine.

[tonedepear]

Nope. It's an early 1200. Quite possible I've bitten off a tiny bit more than I can chew. Will give me something to do though.

[tonedepear]

Clutch seizure issue resolved by pressing down harder with foot. Hurrah. I'm getting good at this already!

[M'coli]

Early bonnet, though. What a top find! Oddly enough, I had a Herald dream last night.

[Angrydicky]

Love the Herald! You'll probably find that the clutch slave cylinder is knackered after being seized up and won't hold fluid anymore. Any Triumph specialist should be able to supply a new one.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Herald looks great! Love the colour combo.

 

If you've not already been, I recommend Club Triumph's Herald/Vitesse board which answered so many of my questions. Search it through Google though, their search engine isn't so good.

Kevin at Essex Triumph (Unit 4 Lodge Lane Langham Essex CO4 5NE - 01206 230961) keeps second hand parts in stcok for these, he might be worth a try as well.

[tonedepear]

Ta very much all.

 

Clutch is moving freely, battery still charging. She's looking a bit happier now though:

That wash perked it up a bit! Any pictures of the interior?

[autofive]

finally

 

got the scimitar back on the road

 

just drove it home, 3500revs in fourth gear (with overdrive) making me grin

[scaryoldcortina]

Didn't Princess Anne have one of those?

[autofive]

what John Bindon?

Only one of the back of my daughter's head as she's pretending to drive it! (on flickr)

Apparantly I'm going to get twatted at work tomorrow. Some nugget I know is always giving it large and has often made comments about how he went to my house to see my missus when I left home once etc and I just laughed it off.

Found out last night he's split up with his wife so I sent him a text asking if he'd mind if I shagged her. This hasn't gone down too well apparantly and I'm reliably told I'm due the shoeing of a lifetime

[RedSparrow]

Kunt and the Gang are back with a new sitcom!

Extremely NSFW.

[Alexg]

I got to drive a Nissan Leaf. It is like nothing else I have ever driven.....

 

I thought it was fantastic

[Alexg]

Lonely Island have done some funny fake rap vids, but this one has had me LOLing for the last 2 weeks. Its brilliant

 

 

Language and subject matter is NSFW!

I can't see that as I can't youtube at work. Which video is it? Miss 4dr loves them, and 3OH!3 aswell, same sort of tongue-in-cheek geek gansta rap. I have to say, it does usually raise a smile out of me too.

[Alexg]

Its called 'We're back' and done in a hardcore rap style. The other ones that make me chuckle are 'On a Boat' and the excellent 'Mother Lover' with Justin Timberlake

'Im on a boat, aaannd, its goin' fast aaannd, Ive got a nautical themed pashmina afghan'

 

LOLZ

[Cavcraft]

Don't want to add these to the 'photo thread as they're not car related but really chuffed with these, especially the bottom one. I was in rush hence not getting all the subject matter in but still really happy as he/she darted off down the hole immediately I took the picture and I thought I missed it...

 

 

[tonedepear]

Did you get your head kicked in yet?

[Cavcraft]

Unfortunately not. The current status has been downgraded from red alert to a mild amber one instead, apparantly he's 'never going to talk to me again' which is something of a result for me really.

[tonedepear]

Oh no! I hope you'll be OK.

 

In other news... IT LIVES!

 

 

Most of today titting about trying to get fuel from tank to carb. Took fuel pump apart, re-assembed in a huff cos it looked ok, refitted, and presto! Running quite sweetly. Only need to magic the handbrake into life, and sort the washer pump, and it'll be ready for it's "see what it needs" MOT.

 

I'm knackered and stink of fuel and I don't care.

Worth it surely, to shag his missus!! LOL!!

[Cavcraft]

Trust me nothing is worth that. Imagine a sort of cross between Chief Wiggum's wife and Waynetta Slob and you'd be somewhere near.

[dollywobbler]

Hooning in the 2CV, terrorising a P38 Rangie diesel. Grin.

 

Hooning in the Mini. Extra grin! Still amazes me just how quickly you can go around a bend in a bog-standard Mini. New pics taken, fresh attempt to sell. Time someone else enjoyed the Mini experience, rather than us just keep it in the garage. I want my garage back! Then I'll really grin.

Heh, you could terrorise a P38 diseasel in one of these

 

 

But wibbling around in 2cvs is a giggle, so I imagine you had a proper laugh.
