It is worth checking out his "propper" restoration as well... this time he fecks up another MK2 Fiesta. I am somewhat worried that he is entitled to vote....

 

That kid is like a cat chasing a laser pointer - he's certainly trying his hardest, but will never succeed and just looks hilarious to everyone else

Indeed, and the first sign of internet madness is normally using your favorite sports team as the basis for your username* in this case the prominent rugby league side of his.

 

I'm not sure what the best moment is, the truly borked looking Puma, the first fiesta's body repairs, trading a decent Escort for a truly shit Saxo or the use of cable ties for his exhaust.

 

*(mine excepted as the Morris Ital Lovers were such an integral part of the 1980s USA basketball scene I couldn't let it by ).

Aye, cheers for that Trig. To be fair, you don't need a shirt like that, you've already got the best jumper in the world

What you can't see is that Trig has a test tube in each hand.

I never told you about the time i had to fill a bottle up (1st IVF treatment) and i forgot to take the lid off on the vinegar stroke, I've never panicked so much before, and my "finished product" was some what lacking...

 

Also thanks for posting that Fiesta link, 2 hours I've spent reading that now when i should be in bed , I'm hardly surprised the Fiesta in the second thread ended up like this either.

Thing that's irritating me about that Fiesta link is that the little sod managed to get a pair of what appeared to be immaculate Impreza WRX seats for almost bugger all, and then he welded 'em into a Mk2 Fizzy.

 

Where the hell did he find all the bits? Can't have all been ebay?

Easy repairs make me grin.

 

I have a mid 90's Goodmans TV in the living room. The picture is great, but the scart and composite inputs went south long ago, so all I've got left is RF. Last week or so there's been lines coming and going across the screen, so I thought the RF was finally going too, which was grump inducing. Sure, a replacement is a case of throwing a tenner on ebay at one, but I like the one I have.

 

Today I just thought I would change out the £2 car boot VCR (which is used essentially as an input/output box for TV and hi-fi) for a fancy Hitachi unit I had stashed but hadn't gotten around to using.

 

Completely fixed, and a better overall picture too

I had to stop reading that topic on the Fiesta...it was like rubbernecking at the scene of a road accident!

 

Cable ties are the best thing ever invented i even use them to hold me scooter panels together and talking about bodge jobs i am currently using my 125cc scooter with Sockets as front wheel bearings, its scary but it works

I like the Fiesta , though I would have stuck with the steels.

 

I'd rather see something modded shoddily for nowt like that than another fucking VAG cookie cutter driven by some designer t-shirted twat that's had thousands thrown at it, which is all I see nowadays.

Took the day off today for an appointment with a BT Engineer.

Welcome to how the Internet should be...

 

From BT Broadband which should have been 8 meg but was more like 1 meg at best to the Infinity malarky, just need to pop out for a network cable to run up the wall and across under the floor upstairs

as the boxes and things had to go downstairs by the phone socket but no matter, feel the speed.

RESULT! Got my insurance renewal yesterday, I phoned them up today to make a few changes thinking it would add to my policy, it turns out that my changes being more milage and some commuting comes free! I'll be getting unlimited mileage and commuting added to my policy for no extra charge, so the slightly lower renewal price remains the same!

 

Peter D James insurance is highly recommended, thanks also to Dollywobbler for sending me in their direction last year when my old policy for another insurer was suddenly terminated due to law changes.

 

Also - Today I met Willswitchengage - Was great tro meet you and see your lovely BX!
