What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[JohnDeere]

Smiling about an insurance company.  No, really.  I've been quite impressed with LV since putting my car on them at much lower premium than Direct Lies.  And now have OH's car on a multicar policy.  Just called them to add business cover as he needs to use the car to drive to some courses, and they put it on at no charge.  Zilch.  Not even a £25 "admin fee" for making a change.

All going well I could be heading back to the land of Cortina ownership.

Anyone want an SD1??

Just posted this photo in the one shite picture per post thread. 

 

 

Looking online I see that Briddocks is still there but instead of being the city's newspaper ship it is now the city's barber shop. Quite a random change?

I thought you were done with old cars etc 

[cort16]

No, no I'm done with SHIT cars. My plan is to have a daily, one good old car that drives (hopefully this cortina) and one project one I can weld on and no more buying ropey shit heaps that stress me out and distract me. That 500 quid Lancia saloon I posted on the ebay thread would be perfect for my project one but it's in Bournemouth. It'd probably cost more to to drag it's rusty arse back up here than to buy it plus I live at the sea side so it'd probably just turn to dust the minute it got to my lockup.

It would probably turn to dust if you show it a bucket and spade.

[derskine]

Surely the SD1 is a good project to weld on

Been there done that. Saying that everytime I think I've finished all the welding I find more.

I really like the SD1 but the shit running, no power and slushbox remove a lot of the pleasure of driving it.

Phew, windscreen man is fitting a new laminated rear screen in the old Merc coupe at this very moment, bloody glad i took the plunge now even if it is 400 nicker (thats an exceptionally good price by the way), its the last one in stock anywhere that he's aware of.

 

Seeing as how rare the motor is he reckons any more will be made to order, or until enough ordered to make a batch (unlikely), or main dealer only..£££.

 

Don't normally do the lottery but might chance a lucky dip this week.

It would probably turn to dust if you expose it to sunshine.

I'd recommend wearing a garland of garlic when getting close to it.

8 out of 10 cats does countdown

 

Rachel Riley in a green dress, her tits look awesome

[mattblack]

Making me grin today:

 

1.Lad I know showing me some pictures of a Porsche Cayenne he's interested in on Autotrader... when I got to the interior I said "it's beige", he replied indignantly "BISCUIT"

 

2. Seeing a Sikh on a bike wearing a hi-vis turban cover.

 

3.This.

Had to go up to Northwich today to see the holiday company I'll be working for, the up to Preston. All this in a K11 Micra, I must admit the little thing is a strong little solidier despite the bullying it gets on the roads. Thankfully, Motherly_Sterling_One drove back down from Preston to Birmingham, I really couldn't be arsed.

 

Also, I did it all without the SatNav which unfortunately spat out its charging connector and broke inside. I just referred to Google Earth, took a few mental notes of where I was heading and took the chance. After getting slightly off track in Northwich I did make it good time. Then it was off to Preston getting to Ma_digs was pretty easy, but I arrived with fuel gauge in the Red. £35 later and the tank was nearly full for the journey back to Birmingham.

I would, but I'd be having naughty thoughts about Suzy Dent.

The New 3 advert with the little girl miming to starship we built this city, riding a pink bike with stabilizers and a basket on the front with a cat in it, the advert also has shite in it

[Negative Creep]

I'm sure we had a music video thread somewhere, but I can't find it. Anyway, is it me or is that a MG Montego on the left at the start?

 

[Cavcraft]

I would, but I'd be having naughty thoughts about Suzy Dent.

 

I would like a Riley with a Dent in it.

[Jim Bergerac]

Glasshouse is wrong for a Monty. Looks like something Japanese to me.

[mat_the_cat]

starship we built this city

 

That in itself is enough to make me grin!

[fordperv]

Hearing that is what caught my attention

[DeeJay]

It seems to be all go on here today.

Interestin' sales pitch. Sounds like my kinda car....

[beko1987]

Just washed the missus car after 2 months of shit weather! Is in desperate need of a clay, especially the lower panels but it looks OK from afar. Put a layer of wax on to keep it going for another few months!

[vulgalour]

Hey, Richard, I could be wrong but that video of a noisy turquoise Volvo probably isn't the one you meant to post.

Today, down my good friends garage

a customers Ford KA was ready to take away (she drove it into a lampost)

front end all rebuilt and painted n polished

she paid the bill, (she didnt want to go through the insurance)  annnnnnnd as she backed out the space she hit - side on at a fair whack an Audi RS4 which was just waiting for a wash N polish from the neighbouring unit
I stared at Malc (owner of said garage) and thusly threw a kidney laughing

[alf892]
