That Indian forum.....GR8 for wasting work time!   Going on again for another look at Landmasters....

400 miles in my Cav 1.8 LS this weekend and it's not missed a beat. :) Went past a few broken down new motors though!

I did 470 miles in the 416 this weekend with similar results, although a sticky rear caliper will need sorting. Amongst several broken moderns I saw was a 14-plate VW on a recovery flatbed. As I often tell SWMBO, my stuff might have issues and foibles but alteast they get us home!

There's only one way to find out... Shitefest India 2015?!

 

Shiters are to attend without automobiles, purchase a Hindustan Contessa, Ambassador Sipani Dolphin or Premier Padmini* and drive it back. Literally nothing could go wrong, at all.**

 

*Other Indian continuation shite is availible.

I've had the nova redtop in my possession for a couple of hours and parts have been going like hotcakes, I'm glad I bought it now

Ordering some new stock which includes a range designed with model railways in mind. In amongst the usual model railway type stuff are a few pieces for those who prefer a slightly more seedy layout -

The German firms pump out some right dodgy gear for the railways, highlights also include rocking caravans and people tied to beds...

The entirely pointless nature of that fence leads me to believe that man brought it with him, constructed it in full view of those women, and then looked through the hole, at which point they freaked out.

Haha!

A pushbike portable perving fence.

Priceless.

On second inspection that perving fence looks like it may be expandable. Great for pushbike pervy trips to larger nudist beaches! Inflatable tree for added realism.

At first glance, I thought it said "LOVE NOT HIAB" along the side. Talk about niche protesting.

My mates been out this afternoon and collected his new toy.

Inside was this receipt for some engine work, I can't imagine many people paying that kind of money to get their Allegro repaired!

He only paid about £650 for it of eBay, genuine 22000 miles from new too.

Someone has just booked a Fiat bicycle into my work for a repair. This should be interesting.

55 quid an hour on an Allegro. They must have really loved it.

On another motoring forum I visit, on a thread discussing BMW's new X-something behemoth, a fellow member described the Audi Q7 as a 'shitting hippo' . :lol: I can see why.

Seen that astra house before on various pictures, the guy is a hero

Some 10 years ago I went to the dentists in Gloucester where we used to live, for a check up, to be told that I needed a load of fillings. After a few were done, I changed dentists and told them that I knew I needed a lot more. I was most surprised and pissed off to find that I didn't need any more, which left me with a bit of a distrust. So I've never actually been for a check-up in the 9 years we've been living in Wales...

 

Until one of my teeth with a filling crumbled away last week. What makes me grin is that I went to the dentist today, expecting to hear the worst and was told that I had a lovely set of teeth which I obviously take good care of :-) The fact that the dentist was a young, attractive Portuguese girl was an unexpected bonus too. The repair went well, with very little pain so all in all a good result.

So she didn't hammer a larger tooth over it then? When you go again ask her if she wants a Portuguese breakfast

Don't trust attractive dentists. In '12 I went for my first check-up in about 15 years, and was told by the rather lovely young wench behind the mask that I had excellent teeth, and only needed a quick polish. 12 months later I returned, to be given an utter bo11ocking by the new dentist for not looking after them properly, which he proved by finding several unbearably sensitive spots with a sharp metal pick, and received a patronising lecture on how to floss.

Posted

Funnily enough it was (another) attractive dentist who told me my teeth were shagged and I needed loads of fillings. Which it turned out I didn't :-( Ironically if I hadn't had the fillings then it's likely my tooth wouldn't have crumbled this time but hey ho...

 

Steve, I have no idea what a Portuguese breakfast is but it sounds sufficiently like a euphemism that I'd probably best avoid it with someone who may be holding a drill inside my mouth! :lol:

Portugese Breakfast, thinks I, that's got to be a euphemism for only one thing.  Off to Google I merrily went and now I'm back to advise you it is what I thought it was and you don't need to know.
