I love the smell of T.V.O. in the morning.

[purplebargeken]

BNP's Nick Griffin declared bankrupt

 

LOL

[vulgalour]

The former was a foregone conclusion, whereas the latter has only just come to light.

[rml2345]

I wonder if his helpful* booklet on debt will just blame the EU and immigrants over and over again?

*** No offense to Mr Feldman ***

[Bobthebeard]

Mr Griffin appears to have independent eyes. One for looking forward and the other looking over his shoulder....

Necessary in his chosen line of work IMHO

[Cavcraft]

Hopefully the fat fucker will get evicted from his farm next: It'd be pretty good fun if he ended up on a housing estate somewhere surrounded by immigrants. He's still standing for MEP or whatever though, fingers crossed he loses his deposit.

If he does end up being evicted from his farm he will probably just press 'escape' on his Alien Lizard telecommunication device and get beamed back to his home planet. To reappear in 2016 when the Daily Mail has made everyone* even more angry and even more receptive...

[Cavcraft]

He's not a racist though, he said so. The picture of him in his NF days has nothing to do with anything.

Maybe we should have a new 'horse and train' picture for 2014, only this time it should feature a pontoon eyed, bloated tosspot running towards a gravy train.

[phil_lihp]

I disagree on the basis that the horse and train is art and therefore nice to look at, whereas photos of that man are neither of those things.

[skattrd]

I have a picture of my new manifold ,,, wanna seee it?

 

 

Mines the one on the left (isn't it pretty) the one on the right is for a mate.

Unfortunately they're still in Malaysia and I've just had a quote for shipping .... ouch.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Wow they look mega. How have you ended up sourcing them in malaysia?

[skattrd]

I joined a Malaysian based forum a few years ago when I got my first kei car, as they were the only English language based site/forum where I could get info on the 660cc Daihatsu motors.

Malaysia seems to be one of the main places for tuning and racing kei cars. They have a drag race series for the 660cc cars, some are quite mental.

These manifolds were made by a bloke over there who does this sort of thing as a side line, they were ordered back in July.

SWMBO fuck knows how many years ago! Kind of want to find out what the proton is, buy one and present it to her as some sort of symbol of love, or is that a bad idea?

 

[phil_lihp]

Proton Compact Sprint.

Looks quite neat!

[MrDuke]

I think they were just known as the Proton Coupe at the time, although I don't recall seeing any with a full-length sunroof. The GTi versions seemed more popular - maybe you could get one of those and pull the body kit off. And there could be no finer declaration of love, who cares whether she appreciates it or not?

 

 

EDIT: phil_lihp's Proton knowledge pwns mine. Was the Sprint a pre-GTi sporty variant then?

[skattrd]

Proton Compact Sprint.

I think she'd prefer the similar looking Satria GTi though

[phil_lihp]

Nah, Coupe was a different model.

 

 

Not sure why this evening I'm pretending I know about Protons.  

[MrDuke]

Wow, I don't remember ever seeing them ^  and now I think about it, the stock smaller ones were just badged as 'Compact's.

 

 

Not sure why this evening I'm pretending I know about Protons.  

 

Because you're trying to be a Shite Hero. Nowt wrong wi' that.

[beko1987]

Saw that white one, it's almost quite nice...

[Ghosty]

Nah, what she really wants is a J-reg Proton.

[Bobthebeard]

Just spotted a white Vauxhall Viva on a street near to me. Will take photo if it is still there tomorrow. Looks really shite, but taxed and presumably used.

[beko1987]

Just spunked £99 on a tank of fuel, and the trigger still didn't click. Reckon it would take £120 easily, but I'm not that rich.

 

Never spent that much on fuel for myself before, computer says 550 mile range, I think it's a lying French twat personally...

[beko1987]

127.9 at asda. Averaging 28.6 apparently. I'll pop the empty mileage up for someone to work out!

[hairnet]

booked flight to amsterdam

[hairnet]

for trackday at zandvoort

[Parky]

Got two new tyres at a new place I haven't used before. Not only was the receptionist a proper petrol head, but the mechanic was really friendly and knew his stuff. He also let me into the workshop for a poke around under the daily which most places don't allow.

 

Makes a nice change from the antiseptic main agents where the staff treat you as a wallet rather than a human.

 

On top of that, Mrs P and the kids are away in NZ and I have had a shed load of painting and decorating to sort whilst they re away and I am almost finished
