Maybe I should make a matching "Vogue" one for it.

 

I also want a "ONE LIFE, F*CK IT" sticker. Or "ONE WIFE, LOVE IT." Anything but the usual...

 

"ONE LIFE, DON'T SPEND IT FIXING THIS PIECE OF SHIT"

I saw my first 'one life live it' clad Landy today coincidentally. It was bright orange with shiny checkerplate bits. I actually said out load to myself 'what a faggot'.

Back from the Camry estate collection, not going to call it a mission or anything dramatic because it was utterly painless. Trains all on time, got picked up from the station, the car is ace and I met Rootes_Arrow.

 

Car itself is just what I want, John slightly undersold it after he viewed it on my behalf. If it was too nice I wouldn't want to use it for carting materials, dump runs etc. Mechanically it feels very strong, no undue bumps or rattles. Seems to have been well looked after.

 

Definitely grinworthy.

Surprisingly enough, eBay.

 

Spent the last day or so fending off knobbers and blocking bids on my car* but it made far more money than I could have ever dreamed off. Listing ended circa 8.35pm today, buyer drove away in it about 15 minutes ago. Cracking bloke, no arsing about and really friendly so I lobbed a CD player into the deal ex-gratis.

 

*I honestly reckon I could have seen another fifty quid or more for it but I won't let idiots bid on my stuff if I can help it.

One Life, SECURITY :mrgreen:

 

BUt it's not chequer plate, nor is it an add-on. It was applied 20 years ago as it's working livery, so fuck off! :P

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.

Actually you can go around a bend a lot faster than most people think. My Volvo would probably out-lean the 2CV in a corner, yet on my regular twisty route home I’ve got a tiny dot in my rear mirror which was a big car with foglights on 2 minutes before, on the straights.

 

This isn’t an anti-new car thing either, I saw a Ford Ka beat an Audi A6 quattro through a roundabout.

 

Whilst not everyone on the road is out to be the fastest thing there, it’s a bit strange that someone will hoof it at 90+ where it’s straight and then get pwnd by something on 145 tyres at the first corner.

 

Perhaps that’s it – all cars now do 80mpg so going fast isn’t a problem, but a set of tyres is a fausand pands so everyone takes it easy on the corners. All that Dollywobbler has to do is get some 15 inch o-rings for tyres and grease the trunions and he can slalom with the best of them.

I've just got an email from Auto trader to tell me what I've won a pair of tickets to the Goodwood Moving Motor Show, Not sure what this is apart from it being on the 30th June which is a Tuesday?. I'd better look into this...
