What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[autofive]

mmm, few things missing from that breakdown of costs

 

insurance

premises

electrictiy

tax

 

etc etc

 

plus a percentage of bad debts and jibs that go wrong and have to be redone at your own expense

 

i cant think of anyone, in any business that works on 100% usage of their machines or premises

 

and thats just what i thought of in 30 seconds, im sure there is plenty more

[Cavcraft]

Look at that jaw though. It’s like Will Hoy, without the the moustache.

 

 

Yeah, about that. I'm sort of struggling to recall the last time I clocked a bit of a top drawer fanny and pondered over her jaw.

[autofive]

its probably a gadji, like most of the podium 'girls'

[Pillock]

Only using £30 of materials a day to refurbish 8 alloy wheels?

[ShiteRider]

Just got home from work, that doesn't make me grin.....thats kinda shit. What does/did make me grin however was a bedford chevanne passing me on the M65, then about 10 minutes later i passed it south bound on the M6.

Looked like a minter, in red with white side panels think the reg was WVM986S is it anyone on here?

If so i was the dirty looking skin head in the battered white 7 series who gave you "the nod".

Biggest tax disk ever.

 

Still would.

 

 

Is that Rockcliffe park, Whitley Bay?

WOW CHECK ME OUT! To be fair i did go to Rockcliffe school for a bit so I ought to be able to recognise it.

You've come a long way kid.

 

As the priest said to the choirboy.

[quicksilver]

Just had a rather guilty and politically incorrect LOL at the sight of an utterly hideous barried chavmobile Corsa sporting a disabled driver sticker. Yeah, driving a car like that tells us exactly what sort of disability you have

[chaseracer]

Ejection of toys ex perambulato happens elsewhere too...

I like to be observant. Ever since the incident with “Briannaâ€Â, the bird with the big hands and oddly stubbily chest I’ve tended to over analyse things.

26.1mpg from 99% urban driving, full tank to full tank.  That's a massive improvement over my previous 18mpg efforts and the Princess just feels brilliant lately.  She's either settled into her new role of being a reliable car, or gearing up for something to go massively wrong.

Seeing this in the parking lot at lunchtime made me full of WANT

I have no words to fully express how I feel about that Mercury, so I hit the like button so hard I nearly put the mouse through my desk.

Anyway, speaking of crime, I've managed to find videos on youtube of Crimewatch from the 80s ane early 90s, absolute moustache and chod galore where badly disguised robbers use Ford Sierras or Cortinas as getaway cars. There was one bizarre crime about an appeal in a 1988 episode of Crimewatch were Devon and Cornwall policewanted to speak to some mush called 'John Cheeseman' and his wife 'Jacqueline Brown' about the discovery of cut up shells of then brand new top of the range Fords dumped in the middle of Dartmoor.

 

Oh yeh, and for the videos, look for someone called 'Chironss' seems to have quite a few old Crimewatch programmes uploaded, he also seems to have the Dutch equivalent from around the same years.

 

Some of those old Crimewatch UK episodes are ace for chod spotting. My favourite though will always be the title sequence at the beginning of this clip - still makes me want an SD1!

 

The original music was fantastic as well (the modern remix makes me very cross)

Is that Mercury Cougar the same as the Griswold edition County Squire?

[pompei]

Having a little smile to myself when I heard about Oliver Rawlings, internet troll, who came over all contrite when someone threatened to tell his mum.

I like you avatar! That was from a reconstruction of a Truck hijacking in 86' or 88' the White Cortina belonged to one of the robbers.

 

I liked the 1988 titles when a Police SD1 flanked by 2 motorcycle officers come over the bridge with thier lights on. The original titles featured a Police Sierra XR4i.

[autofive]

truck load of cookers and they made the driver take off his trousers - that would have worried me

[Junkman]

I had the saloon version:
 

 

Carlton estate and Lada saloon were also mine. Halcyon days.

I clicked one of those Crimewatch videos at random and it was a reconstruction of armed robbers dumping a van and fleeing on a road I drove down at lunchtime today. 

[Lord Sterling]

Seeing as this is page '825' of the grin thread; I may have a chance at buying a 1986 D-reg 825 Rover Sterling in the next few months, its one of the first few cars off the production line. It might cost me a 4-figure sum but it is in absolutely lovely condition, my dream car. A price hasnt yet been agreed but i have 1st dibs on it, so it looks like I'll have to start saving hard.

Being told that there is a cure for dyslexia is music to my arse.

[retrogeezer]

bagged some of those poundland soviet shite models this morning.

 

[warren t claim]

As today is officially National Orgasm Day here's a pic to get you started.

[Ghosty]

I must have been in 3 or 4 Poundlands and not found a single one of those Russian cars yet. Anyone have any tips where I can find one, in Manchester or London?

[retrogeezer]

these were from Crewe but they didn't have many and most were the 3 at the back, that was the only 2 Lada's in there today.
