MEGA LOLZ at that Espastic thing.

 

I have to add this. On being asked what his exact plan was, this was the response:
 

 

Moving on
Here's my most simple way to explain the basics of this build and why i'm cutting in certain places

There is obviously a little bit more to it than that but i hope you get the idea , with regard to road usage its a matter of getting it finished first then getting it IVA'd , once the shells are mated together i will probably strip off all the suspension and brakes to give them all a good overhaul and replace as necessary ,so getting it on the road is not on the list of priorities , having said that i cant really foresee any problems when the time does come.

 

GENIUS.

Saw the new neighbour today for the first time. He swung a tatty pea green P5 into his drive,so he must be a reasonable chap.

 

Oh and it gets better...a Citroen CX has appeared too! In black. I'm going to try and bump into him this week for a chat.

It seems our old friend "Eccentricrichard" has discovered the AR online Facebook page as been causing upset stating how good BMW's are and how shit BL cars are, (he may have a point in some respects), I'm enjoying the on going row that's kicked off, It's like the old days on here. :)

Jesus wept, WTF is everyone on that Rob Blair thread going on about?

Apparently someone on Autoshite (forum or FB - not clear which) got a fact wrong about a Rover 800, and the INTERNET HAS EXPLODEDED.

Oh, and the tat thread isn't their idea of shit. I don't know which point they missed.

Having accepted a quote from Shiply to collect another ill advised purchase, the email I received from the guy who is collecting my new* car made me grin a bit.

 

" Hi, I am leaving weh am for bradford and should collect am. am not sure of times as am wary of giving times as am willbe driving and driving is full of trafic and dug up roads. best gess would be 7 someday but am not sure. hope ok with you"

 

Spell check/Google translate at its finest I guess.

Errr... Yes, should be fine! Best not leave the house for a few days then..... :-)

Oh yes, there's a Hillman Avenger parked outside at the moment! It's yellow or white with racing stripes, black bonnet and boot spoiler, not a Tiger but I think the owner's tried to emulate one. I've got a shit picture as my Iphone doesn't like the dark, will get a better one if it's still there in the morning.

Well, it was still there.

One of our neighbours has a dark green rubber bumper Midget.  I've known it's road worthy but hadn't seen it actually move under its own power until today.  The noise coming from where the exhaust should have been attached made me feel much better about the tiny almost inaudible blow on my car, indeed the HLS was probably quieter when we had that fired up and that sounds like a cross between a Victorian factory and a Lancaster bomber.

Last day of Chester Races yesterday, so we get a nice break from all the pissed up, shiney suited wankers and perma-tanned scrubbers fighting and pissing their way through the streets for a few months.

Really? An arguement about 800s that hasnt involved me, thats a first. However, I've not come across anything like that on here, so a link is needed, though I'm not on faceache so clicking the link will see me locked out anyway unless I join this WORLD FENOMENOM.

 

Today, this has been making me grin:

As said in the '24' thread, the Micra failed its MOT on corrosion of the drivers side the sill and the tax is due on it, so its in the garage until Monday or Tuesday. So anyway, the mechanic lent me a Rover 25 for Ma to use until the Micra is sorted, this gave me a good chance to sell the idea of buying something different. The Micra is getting a little tired now and I reckon Ma deserves somehing a little higher spec.

 

However, if, in the unlikely event, she does buy a car, and if I can help it, the Micra will be joining my collection.

 

Today gave me a better chance to look around it and Ma a chance to drive something else for a change. Ma liked the car, it felt more upmarket than the Micra, although being a short lady, she had trouble seeing out if the back window when reversing, I reckon a 4-door might give better visability?

 

Then I took it out, it drove pretty much spot on, the 1.4 K-Series being a fairly nippy engine and just enough to pull this little car along, low-down torque was great aswell for slower driving in higher gears.

 

The car was filthy though, it looked like it hadn't been washed or hoovered for a very long while. If someone borrows me a car, then I'll at least give it a wash 'n' hoover to make it presentable. Washing a good few months of muck and hoovering it (which cost me 2 rather expensive tokens) got it looking at least nice and presentable.

 

Then I took it out for a good blast, barreling along country roads and letting it out on the motorway, its a little rumbley at around 60/70mph but apart from that it feels spot on, a great little car that I'm going to miss when it goes back tomorrow or Tuesday.

 

Ma has said that she'd seriously consider a 4-door 25 if she still couldn't find work nearer home.

Chucked a new gearbox (£35) in my Rover van this afternoon. I found when I was reassembling it that the splines on one driveshaft had partially stripped, and that was the cause of the non-drive, so there had been no need to change the gearbox after all! FUCKERS.

I had to negotiate a pair of wobbly Lycra clad cyclists riding 2 abreast today. They were causing havoc with the traffic building up behind them, but as is often the case with these Bradley Wiggins wannabees they didn't give a shit. When I finally managed to safely overtake I had driven literally 200 yards before I had to stop at a pedestrian crossing. Annoyingly the bikists simply went into single file and overtook me on the inside, going through the red light. As the second one went past I heard a PFFSSST noise and alot of swearing. He'd run over some debris and given himself a flat tyre. He heard me pissing my pants too, cheered me right up.

Should keep a few bread rolls in the car to lob at these ball bags at opportune moments.

This is a reason to grin?
