That made the ten o-clock news last night!

[eddyramrod]

Local dental lab fitted me in yesterday, so I have teeth again! Thank goodness!

[Angrydicky]

Had a really weird dream last night. I went into my back garden and there were three new additions. A Standard Ten saloon, Standard Companion and a really tidy beige Ambassador which I remembered vividly when I woke up this morning. The registration number was A802 OPU (actually relates to a Sierra!) and it was last taxed in 2000 with the tax disc issued at Great Dunmow Post Office. It was also wet like someone had washed it and had a row of four badges on the grille. It had the nice VDP alloys but I'm not sure of the spec. Either way, spooky as hell!

[brickwall]

A beige Ambassador?? Is that forewarning a disturbance in the Force?

I sense a disturbance in the farce. Swap you my beige Princess for your A90 Atlantic*

 

 

 

 

*as if I would or you would for that matter!

[HillmanImp]

Have bought this from the Pound shop.

 

 

Its a Movable McSporren Marsedos â„¢

 

Even better it flashes its lights and makes a noise like a real Movable McSporren Marsedos â„¢. Clicky video linky:

 

I need to see if they do a Pherrari â„¢ or Rod Bell â„¢ ones too to complete the collection.

^^ I'd be really impressed if it was also full of bubble bath.

 

I've hopefully found a buyer for the TR7 and the best thing of all he's going to restore it as he says he's been after a 77 one for a while. Good result all round if it comes through.

Hopefully it means I can bring the puma back to the the house and get the Rover back in my lockup so I can sort out the underbonnet mess.

[Cavcraft]

Nice one, Glenn. It'd be a right shame if the TR got fragged or something by a potential buyer. Still feel guilty over the work that needed, genuinely didn't know about all the welding etc.

[fotorabia]

Its 1am..its 29C..im bollox naked..front door and back open trying to catch a breeze...which there aint...and got a real early start to go collect a mint 1950s table n chairs i got cheap off the Egay...

There's no way you could have known Billy. When I had a look under it when it arrived I thought it looked solid as a rock. It wasn't until I took the seats out I found the full horror.

The fella's coming up from the midland to get it so I've explained in no uncertain terms it's pretty RAF but he still seems keen and has restored a few cars in the past. All good if it happens.

Just stumbled across this interesting feature over on MSN cars (spit) about what the motoring journalists drive, and there's some surprising results too, Just a shame our fellow Citroenmaniac or AR perv didn't get a plug.

Was it an act of God incident or was the driver a nutsack?

[Wilko220]

An attempt to recreate this perhaps

 

[Cavcraft]

This is Autoshite, the car is a BMW Mini. Therefore it was 100% the driver's fault.

[retrogeezer]

I want a Movable...which poundland type shop was it? World/Land/Universe/centre/99p/poundorless?

[Jim Bell]

Exhaust hanger.

You mean its a fat bloated shadow of what it used to be and how it SHOULD look? Has the purity, innocence and beautiful simplicity been utterly destroyed to the point that you just dont recognise the very thing you fell in love with all them years ago?

Sounds like a *fucking marriage to me, Sir.

* I say it alot, there is no other word in the English language so descriptive and utterly effective you can almost taste it as you say/type it.

However, as not to offend those of a nervous disposition, I shall endeavour to reduce the 'F' count to a more manageable number.....

Interesting...this Allergy was in Reeth in Swaledale in October, we were letching over it on the way back from the pub!

[outlaw118]

Got the phone call i've been waiting for this morning...THE CAPRI IS READY!!!!

Do you have photos of it, I've always* wanted one of these, and I'd love* a TR7 that needed a little bit of work*.

[ShiteRider]

Did a booze run to tescos before in the beige cortina, got out the car and saw a C-reg polo getting jump started off a J-reg 405 diesel estate about five bays down from me. A proper chod moment.

I recognise the girl who was driving the polo, she works in a local arkwright style DIY shop (called "Rammages", of all things ), her normal daily is an old MZ bike.

I was quite literally howling with laughter - anyone who works in the health care professions will find it funny for all the wrong reasons, everyone else will find it funny for all the right reasons.
