That guy with the Trafic is simultaneously the funniest and most terrifying think I've seen all week!

My nearest B&Q is doing these at £2 each or 3 for a fiver, same for USB chargers. Had a good nine months out of mine so far and there was a load of stock still in about three weeks ago.

 

Make sure you don't get an autoreversing one - they will cause chaos with your car's cassette player until you remove the autoreverse mechanism.

interesting - I myself have a cassette adaptor which until this point I assumed was possessed. How does one go about removing the autoreverse mechanism? (or perform an exorcism, depending on how you look at it)

I just spent 70 quid on a DAB adaptor for my car and I can't get a signal. Fucking hopeless but I can at least connect my iphone to it.

Is it a Pure Highway? I got a magnetic external aerial for mine and it seems to work in most places.

It's a sonichi what ever that is. I've got an external aerial but the Avantime is all plastic and what isnt plastic is Aluminium. magnofail.

Me being a twat

 

Was out in the 4 litre sov with a blowing exhaust,wife driving,she pulled up outside the bank, i paid a cheque in, on returning to the car I decided it would be funny to make out I just robbed the bank so I ran and slid across the bonnet shouting "floor it,I've robbed the fucker" I was wearing shorts though and my legs gripped the bonnet and it was a shambles

 

Wasn't a quick getaway as we were laughing too much

Watering the back garden plant things with a hosepipe this evening in T shirt and shorts. Too bloody hot. Turned the hose jet thingy to spray and aimed it directly up in the air. 10 minutes later I am a drowned rat but bloody cool and refreshed. Best thing I did all week. Feel fabulous. Mrs. PBK thinks I am getting more weird as I get older. Whoohoo!!!

There's a complete Renault 5 Monaco in the same colour in David Kelly's/Legacy in Wrexham. He's a nice bloke, especially if you turn up in an old Renault

The cheeky spastic GWAR bastard kid from up the street has just smashed the back window of a new shape E Class with a cricket ball. His cock-end of a father is standing, ashen faced, talking to the owner of said Mercedes, who is the size of an Ulsterbus, and has a face like thunder at the minute.

 

GO ON, HIT THE CUNT! PLEASE!

Dollywobbler's day was made complete when he agreed a deal for some quality East European chod on the phone.

It had fuel consumption issues and a couple of the missiles had been used, but WCPGW.

An evening spent riding around on my *finally* taxed CG125, which is running really nicely now it's had a few good runs and a fresh tank of petrol, followed by booking a skydiving session I got for my birthday.  Just Googled the plane that I'll be going up in, the Black Beech 99.

My first thought was, that's a very small plane!  Never been on anything smaller than a commercial jet, for some reason I was expecting something the size of a Hercules...oh well, it's not like I'll be in it very long.

Just been spending a pleasant Saturday evening in front of a roaring log fire, having a few wines and watching telly. Tonights episode of "midsomer murders" , must have been a very old one as Mr Nettles was in a mk 2 Mondeo. But the star of the show was a Talbot Alpine belonging to the "travellers" along with lots of early Transits, probably courtesy of Fred.

Looks like it'll polish out. Better do it again with trousers on before though so you can say you have and polish out any extra scuffs you find!

Swapping my insurance from a mk3 golf NA diesel to a modified 106 gti = £50 refund on my £300 ish policy. I'm sure they just pull random figures out of the air but at least this time it's turned out in my favour. Confused.com had me expecting to habe to stump up an extra couple of hundred quid

[Spiny Norman]

I'm convinced car insurance companies' pricing policy involves a large hat and a blindfold.
When I rang mine to change from a Volvo 240 to a Daewoo Leganza, they wanted another £70 for the remaining 6 months of the policy. For a bloody Daewoo!!

Then when I changed to the Jaaag I phoned them up fearing the worst and got told, "Yes sir, there will be a £45 refund on that car".

 

Go figure, as they say.

Deseiseal sadly. Should I put some veg in it?

 

Just washed it, its done 3465 miles and has stonechips already, the roof and bonnet were bending under my buffing and the interior smells horrible and fake new. 3/10

Fuggin ace. I bought a Maestro van and found a Casio watch in the glove compartment. Just thought I'd let you know.

Now I'm home and recovering, I can find this quite funny: gradually returning to consciousness in post op, the first words I heard were along the lines of "like something out of Kill Bill". Not *exactly* the update you want ...
