What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[brammy777]

Found out today that the last car my Dad ever owned is alive and well in the village next to mine. Now I just need to pluck up the courage to leave a note or something to ask for first refusal should it come up for sale.

Karting was brilliant, two 15 minute sessions then a 30 minute free for all. My body aches (slightly), but worth it. And the Industrial estate next to it had a pleasing amount of interesting stuff in it.Wheels day tomorrow too, ace.

Fixing the Rebels n/s door !And finding out that it has one small leak when it rains

I had to literally stand like a statue for about 15 mins until this little fella got close enough for a pic with my shitty camera but it makes me happy to see hares as they are cool...

GR8 4 bein chased by a gypsy's dog.

Nice pics Ratdat, very appropriate for Easter.I think Hares are pretty cool too, they'd give the bastard Gypsy's dog a run for it's money.

[Ratdat]

They certainly would. Mind you my cat managed to catch one and eat it as part of his wildlife extermination program.

Completed a grueling 280 mile drive from Ipswich to Walton on Thames yesterday doing a full circuit of the M25 to collect my lasted ebay purchase.

 

136 issues of Autocar from 1960 to 1976, Mrs Trigger thinks I'm mad, She is right but I'm happy!

What makes me grin most at the moment? - passing filling stations at over the ton in the 124 on 100% free fuel, lovely simple old straight six humming away somewhere under the star with none of the 'orrible god-fearing inline four drone, no cambelt to snap, no ECUs to shit themselves, no crappy canbus wiring, no electrics anywhere to run the engine, Citroen-licenced rear suspension to smooth the ride, no designed-in faults - just slurping a gallon of veggy every quarter hour. Sometimes I only wish I could lock Gordie Broon in there with me, asking him why he sold our gold when at an all-time low, why no promised referendum on Europe, why he gave the bankers all that freedom and promised them he'd abolished recessions, why he and Bliar spent 20 times more hours debating fox hunting than Iraqi invasion - reminding him that whilst motoring at a speed which is quite illegal in a car large enough to carry 7 bent cabinet ministers, I never have to stop to buy his over-taxed fuel. Almost getting as sad as Our Great Leader, but cheap thrills, eh?

A hare is a everyday viewing in these parts!

Driving in a slightly irresponsible and noisy (though not unsafe) manner through the crowded touristy streets of Camden Town made me grin today.

[Pillock]

I can't tell you. But I'm grinning

Other than a dick grape in a Landcruiser driving like a mong on the A55, I had a top time today blezzing up and down in the Amazon. I've forgotten how brilliantly it surges along without actually going very fast.

 

Started first time, topped up the air in the tyres (OMG LIGHT STEERINGS) and went up to Bangor through the tunnels. Looped back to Conwy, went down the Sychnant Pass and popped out near Penmaenmawr.

 

Incidentally, there's an ACE antique \ tat shop there with some boss old furniture \ epherma there, where for £3 I picked up this FUGGING ACE item:

 

 

 

I shall be using this to eat my overpriced donuts off when I go to car shows \ BKVs \ Morrisons etc. GR8 TIMES.

 

Saw Swedish family with twins. Never quite know whether they're taking the piss out of me or not since their English is very good but very selective. Plan to remedy this with some 'while you sleep' Swedish, as at the moment my lexicon extends to:

 

'Nej' (no)

'Kyckling' (chicken)

'Fiske' (fish)

'Sa natt' (so nice).

 

As a bonus, I saw Station chugging past the castle as I came back into Conwy. I did a serious double take in traffic when I saw the Whizzkid, put two and two together and concluded that there was only one person it could be, I mean how many SC100s are there left in Gwynedd?

 

I didn't realise how small they were actually, my Amazon could have OM NOM NOMed it for lunch and kept going.

 

Here he is very close to my gran's:

Probably just on his way back from your Grans house Wat!!!
