What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[cms206]

It was my birthday yesterday... shit day at work, but my day was brightened immensly by one of the drivers who's a bit of a headcase bringing me in a birthday present...

 

 

... then a good night out at Dogshit Johnson and Obie's Glasgow Comedy Festival Shows.

 

 

This is the first year I've not been a torn faced bastard on my birthday. Yay!

[Cavcraft]

All the best for yesterday!

Coventry Motor Museum picked up a new exhibition this week, This 1960 Minx that's been in a lady garage since 1994.

Meeting Jon, (Rootes_Arrow1750) Picked up the Dell flat screen monitor, now all connected up and working and looking well swish. I put my old flat screen onto Ma_Sterlings PC which up until today had a CRT monitor. Whilst up in Leicester I managed to spot a Jensen interceptor an abandonned Pug 405, plus a kit car and an old Saab around the nice little villages of Ratby/Kirby Muxloe.

 

Thanks to this site and the guys here I've now got another flat screen and laptop!

Meeting benno of this parish, having a chat about about old shite and seeing his awesome Caro pick up today made me grin...

I was looking for a troll picture, to illustrate my opinion of someone here with odd posting habits, when I found this:

 

 

There's a whole site about it, in Norwegian; Google translate is only slightly less difficult to make sense of, so I didn't get too far. Apparently one of the designers also invented gull-wing doors, and sold the idea to Mercedes. Random.

[Albert Ross]

Looking at the wheelarch flares, and then a 190/300SL, I think they swapped a few ideas over......

Good meeting you today and seeing the Rover - which I was impressed with (and I never thought I would say that about an 800 series). Twigged after you left where that 405 is

[Lord Sterling]

Twigged after you left where that 405 is

 

 

Ah yes, I did manage to find it eventually:

 

 

Sorry for the poor image, I have others, not much better to be honest as I was dressed like a chav and acting suspcious pointing my phone at this car pretending to 'check' a text message

 

Have a Jensen Interceptor:

 

 

Surprisingly came out better depite it being taken through the passenger window of my Rover.

[autofive]

interceptor is a late one

 

wonder how much a replacement rear window would set you back?

I have rumbled on here previously about my boss's Rover fetish. Today, 2/3rds of his Knightfire Red R8 Tourer fleet arrived in the garage on a home made A-frame; the other one is on schools today, with three more R8s under canabalisation and a trio of diesel Rover 75s as backup...

I wish I'd bought that 420 Gsi tourer for Sale in Ayrshire last month I really like the look of the estate version.

[Lankytim]

These arrived the other day,

 

Must be pretty old as looks what's on the box!

 

I have put them together and they do look pretty class, there's even a couple of bolts below the Volvo's bumper which should fitting them a doddle. Unfortunately I snapped my T30 Torx bit the other day and can't get the mounting bolts out!

 

Not bad for £1.04!

Cycling home from work today (yes, I R CYCLIST) I was overtaken by an immaculate green '68 Pontiac GTO. Looked and sounded gorgeous. I don't know how anyone can afford to run a 7.2-litre engine with petrol rapidly approaching seven quid a gallon, but I'm glad somebody can...

[morris_ital_lover]

Project slot Ital is go... I think I need sectioning for commisioning it but my man on the inside is carving up a resin Morris Marina shell to make an Ital master for me ATM. A fair amount of dosh and time later they'll be cropping up on ebay as well as my personal collection.

my incontinent and fuddled elderly neighbour got his daughter to shout at me over the garden fence this t-time, while i was burning garden waste (sensibly placed in holed-dustbin with a stove pipe lid and watched over at all times)

 

" your fire has tainted my washing (she lives at least 8 houses away) and my husband is disabled (so fckin what?) so im reporting you to the environment agency, as you are not supposed to start fires until dusk"

 

I ignored her.

"Oi i'm talking to you" she screached

still being ignored, "Oi Oi" walks away mumbling.

 

a quick look on google brings me to here: http://www.environmental-protection.org ... -bonfires/

 

where it clearly states

It is a common misconception that there are specific byelaws prohibiting garden bonfires or specifying times they can be lit –there aren't.

 

swivel on that bitch

[SambaS]

someone is disabled so you can't have a garden fire! Haaaaa
