What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Well, this is it, a Land Rover diesel engine dangling off the end of it. Took half an hour to put together, excellent instructions, all parts together, wrapped and correct. It's pretty sturdy too, as you can see. It's just awkwardly proportioned for getting in the back of my Land Rover, cleanly, but I will obviously perfect a method, it's only the first day.

I've just received a question about a bike I'm selling:

 

'Would you swap for a set of  Merseyside Police Italia 1990 World Cup England Collectors Cards?'

 

W.T actual F?

A friend was asked if he could take his mates son to his prom tonight in his stunning Mexico, I love this photo, the dad's are all virtually masturbating over it and the girl in the blue dress is about to faint. This is why proper old Fords are great!

When did "Prom nights" become acceptable in this country anyway,

Nothing wrong with a leavers disco and thank fuck we don't have to go to school anymore,

 I know there are decent young people out there, have met many recently but this be the centre of attention 100% diva look at me look at me crap is not good for anyone.

I find old cars in general are like cryptonite to women.

I find old Corsas in general are like Rohypnol to women.

Ford Escorts at a prom! I found years ago that a bubble car was a fanny magnet of the highest order. Every rally I have ever been to has had the girls swooning over the cute toy car!
 
Anyway, a song to be sung by the yawning girl to the Escort owner!
 
Any relation to members of this forum may be tongue in cheek only!
 
In the best Blue Peter tradition a Volkswagen version is available too!
 
 

I've known a few guys who had a Ford Escort
A 1.1 two door with Cibie lights

You think they're fantastic - you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all

Oh-oo-oh, you think Fords are special
Oh-oo-oh, you think they're something else

Okay, so you're a Cortina owner
That don't impress me much
So you got a car but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think they're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
Fords don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a brush in his pocket
And a sponge up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra polishing just dulled the paint
Cause Heaven forbid it shouldn't be polished

Oh-oo-oh, so you think Fords are something special
Oh-oo-oh, you think they're something else
Fords don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me-you must be jokin', right!

Oh-oo-oh, so you think Fords are something special
Oh-oo-oh, you think they're something else

Okay, so you've got a car
That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think they're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night

Did you ever consider that a lot of Americans dislike the worst aspects of their country as well?

 

But "they're all the same."

 

Huh? Which Yank is different?

 

However, isn't this the whatmakesmegrin* thread?

 

Well, if your national symbol is a cowherd, whose pinnacle in life is having a bath once a year in a drab one-horse-town like Abilene, that sure makes me chuckle.

When I left school we had a prom but it felt suspiciously like a leavers disco.

 

This poem made me grin yesterday;

Edinburgh had a little tram,

It's progress was rather slow.

And every time they fixed ten holes,

They dug a little more.

Erk...proms. Is that not the orchestral thing at the Albert Hall where people get all dewy-eyed at Jerusalem?

Mind you, the last 'prom' I took a kid to, was somewhat enlivened by the sight of some poor bloke trying to turn a stretch Chrysler 300C in a very small space. Several of us told him it wouldn't go in there, he decided otherwise. All because some 12 year old girls had to make an entrance.

Eventually, one of the other dads was ordered by his other half to stop being a rotter, and shift his car to help the guy out. Fun over.

Well, no; old guy rolls up in a '47 Chrysler, turns it, and deposits grand-daughter without any trouble. 300C driver sweating tears by now...my how we laughed. Made me grin at any rate.
