What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Sorry but I can't do anything about the utube embedded thing, sorry. 

 

I was behind a lovely pale yellow Triumph TR250 yesterday evening. I didn't know there was such a thing but Triumph seemingly only produced it for a year. Lovely car though. Made my evening.

 

A bit of searching ,using your YouTube clip as a starting point,led to this

 

 

Although Douglas Hurd was not hanging out of the window when I saw it.

 

As for the TR250 , I think this was just for Septics, basically a TR5 without injection, somehow doubt it meant how many bhp though.

That cortinas is awesome

[oman5]

so was it "the doctor" or that affordable classics place that bought it?

[Cavcraft]

Please post up every picture possible of the Corrina S, one of my favourite ever cars.

I believe he's just a collector, he already plans to remove the rear fogs and get it serviced and use it for a few shows.

This has made me want a Mitsuoka more.  I love the ridiculous styling of the le Seyde and if money were no object I'd definitely have a collection of Mitsuoka cars.

I never realised Cruella De Vil was into drifting

[Mr Livered]

I've been researching Mitsuokas, and the Le Seyde in particular... there's a lot of grin-worthy stuff to be found about them. The write-up on the website of a chap who imports them here (http://www.mitsuoka.co.uk) is more entertaining than informative. Check this out

 

 

 

There is no special car. Originality and classic styling to fully enjoy the appreciation alone is not enough. Normally ride. La SEDO premise that if you ride and break equipped with modern features. This is a purely practical car. Early breathå¹ãÂÂ込んã (Classic). The classic car is the only mainstream dynamic styling, it was like watching a car, maybe. The original elegance to leave the car and ran to his roommate's La SEDO. Just go in the car. Ribbon equipment such as wheel spokes and tires DITIRU loyalty is bright. But it is not alone. Bend strength tests on the safety standards of about 2.8 times the mainframe. The body is stronger than 7 iron to 14 m / m use of FRP. Cornering expand to tread, such as strength and safety are also excel. Want to run slowly. Naturally the car is able to run faster. However, the slow-moving car that was rarely enjoy. FORUMU own, in addition to their beauty. Sometimes venture with the purpose of enjoying at 40 km per hour. Run, the scenery and enjoy themselves as much as anything to the car. Also part of car maintenance. Japan-based car using its own integration methods and car bodies, reliability and safety. RIBIRUTO is not using any. Of course, parts, the parts are made in Japan, so quick service anywhere across the country, also encouraged to get maintenance. Also play experience. Classic cars on the honest people's voice gave birth, with features such as PW.PS.AC the car. Not special, can ride every day. Driving one's own values are fully enjoy oneself. That car can be claimed.

 

Well that's cleared that up then

[quicksilver]

I don't know what the hell that Japanglish is meant to say but this one sounds rather erotic

 

 

Enjoy the car. It is not enjoying themselves? While fondling engine run. Just rub it to be a happy feeling. That's one car, one, with the value of the car as I have. Alone, a pleasure to meet people who exist only because the car is good. Somewhere to go, but it is intended to run there will be a good car. Run from it is immersive, show scenes from the drivers seat, the sound coming to be honest. The car only悦ã³have entirely different. Hyundai cars are put what has gone adaptations, "Dore (DURA)." This car is the name of defiance, 5000 cc, big size, full-open, classic style. Others寄ãÂ݋¤ã‘ãªã„unconvincing even to the presence of a person unless it is not a hapless woman.豊潤ãªるtime that the driver of the great愉悦, is that if Dore. Free himself for a leisurely fashion, and凛ã¨live with the men, running innocently to Dore. Dore is the lead car to the exultation.

Sitting in an anonymous bar in Central London having my dinner on my own, feeling a bit grumpy, when on the stereo comes Kingdom of Rust by Doves - a great song and strong contender for Autoshite theme tune (very old thread).

 

Someone on here introduced me to it, and to my shame I've forgotten who it was. Thanks again anyway. Cheered me up a treat.

If it was the video with the Mk2 Granada then it was me who posted it.And yes a great song.

Spent the afternoon getting a genuine 1 owner garage find cortina 1.6 crusader estate going for the 1st time in 15 years, it purrs like a kitten now

[Station]

Booked the MR2 in for MOT on Friday. Spent 16 hours yesterday and still at it today and all the rust is gone and no doubt will fail horribly as I'm expecting it to pass.

Had some right racist gobshite at work today, going on and on and on about pretty much anyone who isn't white. I let him twat on a bit, and then when he really started having a dig I told my wife was Indian.

He went into a spectacular reverse mode and started telling me how some people on his holiday caravan site where mixed race couples and he really liked them and they kept their caravans clean etc, plus about another ten minutes of the sort of absolute shit you'd expect a racist to come out with when they're back pedalling.

Sad really, but I just felt like I'd won a massive victory over him and I'll bet anything if he comes back, he'll never spout all that sort of shit again.

 

 

*My missus isn't Indian, and it's not really right to tell lies like that, but it didn't half make the wanker squirm.

[Caffiend]

Got a big grin and a V (for victory, not fuck off) sign from someone in a red chod-mobile (couldn't quite see what it was - early 90s something?) I was taking the right turn from Meadow Lane onto Lady Bay Bridge (Nottingham) just a bit too fast at the time *whistle* - if that was you, I did grin back, sorry no time to wave as I shot past.

My missus is second generation Caribbean. It's great fun watching people who should know better dig themselves into a huge hole. On the down side, I lost a good number of people who I used to call friends because they didn't 'approve' of a mixed relationship.

i only took a couple of the inside of it, i dont really know the fella as he is a mate of my mate who paints my cars and hes of the older generation so im building up a bond of trust with him before taking lots of pictures of his motor, but no doubt i will be going to do more work on it for him so i will get more pictures to share

After about a year of dicking about, I've finally got my van sorted and on the road, and I went camping to Edale this weekend with our lass and the dog, and it was great. The pile of batteries I have rescued from works skip were enough to keep the beer and bacon cool for three days, the gearbox worked fine and the bed is comfy. The curtains keep the light out nicely, I just need to do something about the smell of farts in the morning.

 

I even managed to work the camera and tripod properly after being in the pub all afternoon. Look!

[cort16]

If you can figure out how to get rid of that fart smell you'll be a millionaire by christmass.

Yours, your lasses or the dogs?

I'd call that the plus side, they obviously weren't friends at all.

[Pillock]

There's nothing wrong with a few white lies to put a bellend in their place. Hopefully one day he'll have his little outburst to someone who is both a) married to someone who offends him and a little bit loose with their fists

[cobblers]

Yours, your lasses or the dogs?

All of the above.

[michael1703]

This is making me grin

 

[oman5]

this WAS a volvo 240. is it wrong to think it actually looks quite good?

[Cavcraft]

Yes, because it's not on fire yet.

[Spiny Norman]

Is that really a 240?

[eddyramrod]

If that abortion ever was a Volvo 240, it's had very major surgery. Look at the door windows: none of them are 240-shape. Doesn't matter, whatever it originally was, the biggest improvement one could possibly make now is to drop it in the Atlantic with the builder in the boot.

[cms206]

If that was ever a Volvo the SVM's team of assassins are dealing with the problem as we speak. Looks Russian to me though, so they may not be.
