This is the most expensive thing I've ever bought. Delivery hopefully this week, a few sleepless nights expected until then...

This doesn't particularly make me grin, I just didn't think it worth a new thread...

Just got the latest Cortina insured.

£102.92, fully comp..........fuck you teenagers, with you're eat anything and not get fat, and you're 5 minute hangovers. Fuck you.

Someone mentioned on here recently that they had come across some ex 'part work' models of various soviet vehicles in poundland.. I was in the Nuneaton branch today and was very pleased to find these.

 

 

They also had a few others, those vans that look a bit Renault 4ish, the one that look a bit like Transits and a couple of different GAZs IIRC.

[retrogeezer]

I bought quite of those a few weeks back, was chuffed to find that grey/maroon roofed Volga and the ambulance the other day. The yellow Lada is the coolest one though IMHO. (or maybe the yellow Volga taxi)

Haha that wasn't very impressive was it? The 'worst case scenario' of an illegal firework trader's stock catching fire is that his car will very noisily suffer burn damage but slowly enough that everyone can just wander away from it.

I drove past a burnt out mk.4 Astra today. Must have been an engine fire since it was only toasted at the front, but on the plus side you have half a shut and shut ready to go. Oh, and ALL VOXHALLS R 4 GHEYS

[wuvvum]

This badass mo' fo' was randomly parked at the side of the road in central Norwich on Thursday night.  Brightened up my trip home from work anyway.

 

 

[Mr Lobster]

Cooked myself a full English and washed it down with a nice cup of tea.

 

There is no finer way to start a Sunday.

So I've had another email from the Nigerian naval officer urging for my paypal details.

Apparently the shipping agent will collect after the payment might have gone through.

The agent will sign the V5 on his behalf.Oh yeah, not a single full stop in the whole email.

 

I replied with : there's no might about it, cash in full on collection so why not pay the shipping company

and get them to bring cash.

I'm not happy with someone else illegally signing my document and where's the copy of your driver's license I asked for.

Signed off with

I got a cold phone call a few weeks ago from these chancers, http://www.qualitysolicitors.com/silks/our-people/, specifically Ms Chohan (or someone purporting to be her)
My girlfriend Jasmine is half-Indian and took the call on my behalf. While I don't understand the details, all I heard was a rapid and high-volume stream of Hindi, the specifics of which was explained to me as "I told her to fuck off". I love Jasmine. She's like an even more impolite version of me.

 

[RedSparrow]

Got a ton of bullshit work paperwork done today. I see it as a waste of a day but at least it's done and the cunts will leave me alone for a bit.

[ShiteRider]

Just got home from picking up my latest lump of shit/high quality motor vehicle.

The seller wasn't there so, and here comes the grin, i dealt with his incredibly hot 20 something green eyed sister.

Also the drive there was brilliant. Sun cracking the flags Meatloaf CD on max and the gorgeous scenery of the A666.

[Joey spud]

Just picked up a MX5 to break for spares and drained 25 litres of petrol out of it so it only owes me £116.00 now...

[nacho man]

Oxfam book only shops, I love having a look around in the transport section for car books, the Nottingham one produced a xj40 history book and a car magazine from 1987 not bad for £3.50 for both.

[Junkman]

Took the non-motorway back from Stafford with the Waftmobile this afternoon, which itself was a million times more enjoyable than battling it out with newfangled German blingtosh on the motorway this morning.

There was a slight tailback near Wilmslow and what really made me chuckle was that it was caused by a broken down E-Type being loaded onto an AA beavertail.

Oxford Diecast have just announced this and caused my jaw to hit the floor in astonishment.

 

That's a model of my actual car in which I passed my test! It's not available until spring next year but I can't wait.

[Pillock]

What, same registration and everything?!

[outlaw118]

I learnt in a Toyota Corolla; think it's number plate was D701SWL.....

[outlaw118]

Really? OMG WOT A COINCIDENCE so did mine!

I went to the severn valley railway diesel gala yesterday, lots of locomotive chod from the good old BR days (when the trains were late and shite but you could at least afford to buy a ticket)

 

These are fuggin ace. class 55s have two 18 cylinder 2 stroke deltic (cylinder banks in a triangle) engines and they sound incredible.

as are these. this is a class 42 warship with twin v12 maybachs.  the driver very kindly slows down just before the tunnel before giving it the boot for maximum aural delight.

I remember these from when I was a kid. 

I wonder if more people would use the train if they still ran these teak pre war carriages? they are dead plush inside

[overrun]

Caned my Escort about for 50 miles on it's new alternator, with the sun shining. It never missed a beat and even tells me how much pez is in the tank now. How posh!

 

Then washed it (hoofed up the dual carrigeway to dry) and put it to bed.

Took my Civic out for a nice run to a car show in posh Aldeburgh today as the weather was nice, it's driving brilliantly now the carbs been cleaned, and as Mr. Dollybird pointed out, it also made someone VERY happy!

[beko1987]

Went to see a Citroen nut at the weekend, and he taught me how to take all my spheres off and pressure test them, swapped my faulty turbo sensor something which cured the eml light and cleared all my historic fault codes, including such small issues as power supply to suspension fault, and now the old girl rides great*

 

 

A rusty exhaust heatshield meant the rear centre sphere is unknown, but I will sort that and pop back up another day!

CALENDAR

[Doctormop]

Years old and everybody has probably heard it a million times but makes me smile each time  I read it;

 

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and
spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me,
can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I
don't know where I am."

The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees
north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the woman,
"How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, technically
correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact
is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything,
you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in Management." "I am," replied
the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're
going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.

You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people
beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same
position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
