+1 for Halfords

@LightBulbFun mentioned their sucky-sucky mobile phone holder.
£11.99 with free (3 day) delivery over £20 spend. So, yesterday evening I order one for us and one for La Sproglette (tightwads like me can buy a Halfords Gift Card for the exact amount via TopCashBack and get 6% cashback. No big deal here but if you are buying a big item?).
DHL guy has just dropped them off at the front door. Really well packed - impressive.

I've had a few of those, the ball always seems to snap off the socket.

 

I have a couple of these now, they are two years old which is a record..

The big badge across the bonnet is a bit of a clue. Just saying.

now reduced to £600 ! 

and look at the stickers on the back end  

yep, an Autoshite dealer sticker and that big long yellow one on the number plate says something like “it may be shite but it only cost me a tenner” which i put on when jmsguzzi won it in the roffle !

Genuine lol, just shared to me: 

"Just opened the garage and a wasp nest has fallen on him and broken up" 

Uh huh, is that so... That great big fuck off vacuum cleaner doesn't have anything to do with an attempt of removing them? 😂😂😂

"Fell on him and broke up" my arse 😂😂

Looks like some shitty tti upright, it probably wouldn't have enough suction to dislodge some fluff let alone deal with a wasps nest! 

We have a big one in a tree near my house, been tempted to take the cordless Henry I have over to get rid of them but then I'd have to set fire to my cordless Henry afterwards... I've told Charlie to throw stones at it from far away

Tbh I bet he got stung whilst wrapping the cable away so nicely,so the wife could get a decent pic..

Eldest daughter had one in her garden shed.  Youngest (fearless) daughter steps into the shed, grabs it with both hands, steps out and heaves it into the bushes in the park over the garden fence.

Job jobbed!

That's timewarp .....it's 1980 and there on the way to see Gary Numan.... perfect patina

[richardmorris]

I went out in the x1/9 this morning to the market in ascot. On leaving a small boy looked and pointed to his parents ( presumably not in disgust). So I popped the headlamps up in acknowledgment and his mouth dropped! 
everyone needs a car with pop up headlamps. 
my niece’s prefer the 2cv, and think the fiat too small, but I will indoctrinate them eventually.

Nephew started a welding appreticeship about 18 months ago. He seems to be doing quite well and he could come in useful in the future.

[myglaren]

He can weld that to your car.  Handy in winter to clear the snow.

Does the 2CV fit on the bike rack with a bungee? 🙃

Indeed. I’ve not got the bike on very well but was only going half a mile. Bungee is to stop the front wheel wagging around. Have had the carrier over twenty years from a Norwegian guy at a 2cv meeting.

[wuvvum]

I love the fact that your trailer board has 2CV lights on it.

Reminds me last night MrsFL & I went out our camper to have some food and a cuppa and to watch the world go by at a local beauty spot. Unfortunately the place became infested by roofs in various Ford's, VeeDubs and Aldi's with stupid pop & bang maps and stereos blasting but in amongst it all was a really smart looking Dyane Cote D'Azur which I think must be quite a rare beast now. Do you know of it @chaseracer?
