What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

What's am Amazo? I don't understand that Moaty's Cat chat box lark...

[RedSparrow]

I don't really get what's going on but surely internet drama means that one of them will have to set up a new forum but occasionally come back to wind people up on the old one?

[rml2345]

No doubt. They shall call it 'Moaty's Shite' and it will be the ONE TRUE MESSIAH.

So I'm rebuilding a 1969 Alfa Romeo 105 Bertone Coupe. The interior is like a shoddily built kit car. The electrics are like soggy spaghetti and short out when you sneeze. This car will sell for £20,000 all day every day.

 

If the above didn't make you laugh, the centre console is extremely happy. All the time.

Went to see Johnny Marr last night. I'm still grinning.

Saw a motorhome towing its runabout car behind it on motorway this afternoon..Instead of little cheekychentos or such like it was Mk4 RS2000 4x4.

Music. You need decent speakers for this. And a love of bass helps.

The look of utter disgust my car received yesterday for having the audacity to be alongside some miserable, old split-arse whilst entering the Tyne Tunnel.

 

I have news for you, pet. Your Megane is probably worth 25% of the value of my car.

If only she knew.

My grin for today was having some kids come over to look at my 944 whilst I was at the local shop. Lots of questions about "how old is it" and "it's cool" comments. One lad said " wish my mum would get something like that, my mum and all my mates parents have got boring cars. They are all the same"

His mums car was a VW Touareg.

Result!

I took the beta spider down to Norfolk at the weekend, and I was grinning all the way there and back.

 

Ok, so it runs a bit hot (despite me fitting a new big ass cooling fan) and the speedo stopped working just after I set off, then the drivers window got stuck, and the back end gets skittish over 70mph ... Hey, it's a 35yr old Lancia, and it did 200 miles without breaking down, so I'm happy.

I think I have a weird drawing habit.  Just caught myself pulling the face that I was attempting to draw, I wonder how often I do this?

[vulgalour]

Mums are indeed a law unto themselves.  Mine wanted a 5 door hatch with a small engine.  Then she decided she doesn't like small cars, could she have a Volvo 240/740 or a Granada or something?  And now she doesn't want to drive.  I give up.

[hairnet]

she walked past an 850 volvo and said mmm volvo but knowing that she'd be killing walls and stuff with it and thats it way to big just for going to the shops in

Presumably this doesn't include drawing portraits of strangers? Expect they would be quite nonplussed if you reached over and actually pulled their facial skin.

Maybe that's how Munch did 'The Scream'?

I saw an epic sight earlier,a turquoise metalic Avenger estate towing a met green Avenger on a dolly device going along the M20 near Maidstone.

 

Anyone on here ???

[Station]

Impreza has been on ebay for about five hours now, and no messages in the inbox yet!

[Lord Sterling]

^ Anymore of that and I'll have to log into my ebay and send you a standard 'WIL U TAYK 100.QUID MAYTE. CAN COLECT 2 NITE' type message.

[Partridge]

This.

[Mr Livered]

^Awesome! What on earth are they?

[Partridge]

You tell me! It just popped up on google images when I googled FSO Syrnanananahh, but that ain't one.

from the Guardian...New Cars..non trending..

 

Car culture is changing, particularly among younger people being increasingly presented with alternatives like car [share] clubs," says Paul Nieuwenhuis of Cardiff Business School. He passed his test in the 1970s. "In my generation cars were a very popular pursuit. When we bought a car we could fix it ourselves. Fixing a modern car is quite challenging. That hands-on experience of working with a car has gone. There's less emotional attachment and there's not as deep a relationship as we had with our cars." We are emasculated and estranged from the car by its transformation from oily mechanical object to computer-controlled being.

Testing a Canon all in one style printer today at work, found in the menus that someone had an idea to include the option to print out various styles of paper, exercise book, monthly planner, etc.  So now I have a couple of master copies of squared paper I can use for testing other all in one's with so free squared paper for me instead of endless PDF's of the Italian based manual for our shrink wrapping machine that I end up cutting into bits for scrap pads.

Those SAABs are one of my most favourite things I have ever found out about on the internet.  Somewhere there is a website with video footage of dragging one of them out of a forest.

Yes, that sounds more Transylvania than Sweden.  Never mind, it's all foreign.
