Got stuck on a one way street behind a Morris MO Oxford today, didn't mind at all! I held the traffic back while he tried to re start the thing.

Any new car and I would have been angry.

Perfect street-level Autoshiting, well done sir!

Found some cassettes, last used when I had my Subaru Legacy. Have just been listening to The Thompson Twins in the Rover. Nice. That tape was a charity shop bargain.

 

I have found the CD multichanger as well though, so we won't be short of music.

My Rover Sterling. Went to Telford today to finally get around and visit some family and my hometown. Rover performed effortlessly as it glided up the M6, then gave it a good blast down the M54 :D

Looks like a Clito

 

Totally loving the Form>Function decal. At least the tard has that part right.

 

The 'built not brought' is even better! Makes the car seem appropriately static!

+1 on this. People that say "brought" instead of "bought" are also slack-jawed mongs, FACT.

Look like moulds to make your concrete look a bit more classy

My Golf Cabrio has been handling like a sack of poo lately, swerving all over the road and stuff and a quick check revealed that one of the rear shocks was pissing fluid out of it so today me and my old man changed both rear shocks, they had both collapsed, one of then was even the orginial one still, 17 years old and 72000 miles so i couldn't complain.

 

We also changed the anti-freeze in the car as well and it was a bit of a weak, rusty colour, The car now handles like new again and i have no worries of a frozen block this winter either, It may have cost me £60 but I do like productive days like today.

Working with my dad normally involves a lot of swearing at each other with him doing all the work and me running around getting the tools AKA The Gopher.

 

I remember working with him doing a job on a car a few year ago and us both leaning forwards to pick something heavy up at the same time and headbutting each other, hard, we was both swearing at each other whilst my wife pissed herself with laughter.

that sounds exactly the sort of thing that happens when i work with my dad

 

 

last time i tried to help him (after he did a bit of huffing and puffing, under the breath curses and spanner throwing), he called me a wanker, so i retaliated with "I tell you what, do it your fucking self" got in my car and went home :D

we've never been particularly close

Still laughing though as thats brought back some great memories i have off my old man :( they must all be the same :lol:

Aaaaahhhhh, there's nothing like getting revenge on yer old dad, is there? :lol:

 

Watanabe_father and I cannot discuss James Cameron's epic Avatar because we fell out over it. Mainly because it's too fucking long and is basically Aliens with tall blue African tribespeople.

 

Watanabe_father and I do not discuss air cooled VW Microbuses. Mainly because they are shit and cannot do hills.

 

Watanabe_father and I will not discuss his boat, mainly because his favoured specialist told me I was 'talking shit' when his Bayliner 2652 kept cutting out from fuel starvation. I said it was the fuel pump. Specialist said no. Specialist's computer said no. Watanabe_father agreed with specialist. Said 'expert' charged Watanabe_father £2000 for 'diagnosing' the fault and 'fixed' it. Boat cuts out again from fuel starvation. Specialist did not change the fuel pump.

 

Oddly, it was the fuel pump that was starving the boat of fuel over 1800 RPM.

 

I went and ate crisps in my Amazon instead. Later it rained.

Not really a grin, especially for the owner but I've just come across this on facebook, I don't know the details but it looks expensive!

There's something so satisfying about the fact it missed the shite 306 and fell on the blinged up Focus...
