What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Just uploaded some pics of Royal Scots Grey (55022) onto my Facebook thingy. Haven't seen her in 30 years or more.... WOW! Deltics smell great!

2 Stroke Diesels are the best Anti-Depressants in the world. Especially when they have three crankshafts per engine and 3300HP..........!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!

[M'coli]

Was that at Keighley today, Albert?

[Albert Ross]

Preston-Doncaster-KX-Oxford and return, so likely..... but not sure of the official route or timetable.

Used to work in Warrington in a freshly built office block, that still smelt of paint, so had the whole run of the car park. Me and a couple of mates decided to do a parking challenge, inspired by a workmate with a -brand new- Kia who couldn't park for toffee.

 

 

You're not going home until I go home:

 

 

And nor are you:

 

 

More adventure-parking:

 

 

 

 

 

The police got called, as the security thought someone had tried to ram raid the building next door, even though it was empty. The boss advised us to stop playing around, as we were all 30 years old.

 

 

As the buildings became occupied, the car park became more full. A fat man parked over two lanes, so I taught him a lesson. It took him 20 minutes to get into his car, while we stood at the window and laughed.

Epic FAIL. Still room to park in the end slot. Must try harder.

Anyone short of cash?

Thank God they were caught, that's quite some haul there.

No doubt, back into the corrupt system that runs everything over there.

I used to do that, anyone parking over two spaces used to get my car millimeters away from theirs, necessitating a clamber over from the passenger side. It just annoys me that people can just get out, look at the car straddling two lines and think "Yeah. I did well there".

[Cavcraft]

Just morons who do it on purpose so no-one opens their doors on their Chelsea tractors/ponce mobiles.

I used to park as close as possible in my old Fronterror (which was caked in mud and scratches and had running boards) then just stand back and watch fat sweaty bastards struggling to get into their double parked wank mobiles.

They must have known that opening their doors onto mine wouldn't make any odds to me as mine was a wreck anyhow.

I have to say that I don't park my Rovers near other cars in car parks because I hate the dents caused by idiots in supermarket car parks. If someone parked deliberately close to my car "for a laugh", I'd 'accidentally' drop petrol and a lit match through their window.

[Cavcraft]

I don't like people who open their doors on my cars either Pete but I don't have to double park to prevent most of it.

I won't park next to two door cars (bigger doors), people carriers (more chance of kids swinging doors open) or anyone who has badly parked or has the front wheels turned at an angle. But I still don't double park.

[Pete-M]

Good chap!

 

If I go to Tescos or wherever, I'll park in a quiet row, just slightly out of the way from the 'must park near to door' brigade. Tends to be fairly safe, but I've still picked up the odd parking knock there.

 

If it's one of those small car parks, say a Tesco Metro, and it's a bit busy, I'll park down a nearby side street instead if there are no 'safe' spaces.

 

Having said that, I have twatted peoples cars for parking in a manner similar to the one Station did to the Merc above. A good knee will leave a bloody big dent if applied correctly to a non-swaged part of a rear 1/4 panel.

There was one parking space in the entire parking area - the one I parked in.

I'll be fucked if some lazy sales manager decided to park over two spaces. Likewise, I had to get out the other side, making sure I didn't dent the Beemer on the other side, I'm parked in the middle though.

He could've dented my car all he wanted to, fuck him and his attitude, I hope he pulled a muscle in his back the fat fucker, it was well WORTH watching him get in, I laugh to myself everytime I think of it.

[Minimad5]

I didn't pick up the other pieces i did (unfortunately)

 

All round view ...

 

"and of course Mark who is a bit of a natural"

 

No "dressing" the welds was needed, just went over with a wire brush to remove the colour, which you get from the heat.

 

... Now i need to buy a TIG.

[Station]

That's ace, I could never do that, mine would be full of holes where the weld was about 2 foot high. Tubes are meant to be really difficult, they look airtight!

[Minimad5]

I did a better weld than that on some Mild Steel (Which is harder to weld)

 

The guy Vince who showed us very quickly what to do said they were very good ... can't argue he welds for a living

 

Wow i sound big headed now

 

But Dave it's easier than it looks

Best Engrish I've seen!

Yes Nile.

 

The vid you posted is class - I'm a ZZ Top fan anyway - although after a bit of research it does seem the drummer is kind of 'famous' for that sort of thing.

OMG!

Apart from the obvious, WTF is going on there?!!?

[CIH]

O'LEY!

 

[brammy777]

Gompo, that Yugo is fantastic. Is it just me, or have they all appeared lately? Out of hibernation...

Anyway, Ive finally managed a decent week of spotting for a long time, spotted both local R5 GT Turbos and a prefacelift Scoupe today.

Someone on ebay called Mohammed wants to know if I'll swap my BMW 1602 for a 2002 Clio 2.0, W reg Micra 1.0 Sport or a Corsa 1.2 SXi, Some how i think i'll pass.
