Make sure you hide your face on CCTV when you buy the petrol. For the fire.

Have you sought counselling my friend?

[Pillock]

Yes, until they had that terrible fire.

You can say you was with me,I don't mind being an alibi. Hash burger sounds fun

Saw this on AR online. I'd have bought one, if I'd seen this when they were for sale.

Ooo look a derelict wasteland with a new MG that nobody wants in the middle,  it's like Longbridge in 2015.

[burraston2006]

Not sure if this should be in the ebay thread, but when I saw it I laughed! Of all the things 2CV's can be described as  Stealth is not one!

[twosmoke300]

Really !

[Mr_Bo11ox]

perhaps he's going for the 'clown look' with those spacers

[MarvinsMom]

aren't wheel spacers supposed to turn as the wheel turns on the axle, or am i missing  something?

Tinypic.com now allows me to upload direct from my phone rather than emailing to a pc and uploading from there.

 

To celebrate here is a picture of the brown metro next to a rusty Volvo 240 from last week.

I so want to see that moving at speed, probably into the nearest ditch.

[Timewaster]

Strange that someone with the skills to make those is so obviously dumb as a post.

 

I hope for his sake these are some sort of Pineapple show day add on to make it look more extreme.

Remove before driving.

 

Either way, verdict: Twat

[seth]

Might they not be for use between the beam and the hub carrier of a dead rear axle?  Rather than actually between wheel and hub?  You know, instead of using a pile of washers?

If so then I'm not sure that they would have been called 'wheel spacers' of made with what looks suspiciously like bolt holes to match a wheel. 

[seth]

Well, this stuff is all out of my area of expertise what with it being for FWD modern things but here's a photo of some camber shims wot I found in a shop on the internet.

If the hole positions were about right I reckon I'd probably make a pair myself out of commonly available wheel spacers too and save the bother of all the extra machining.

[Honey Badger]

Or it's just a wind up, looks like someone's sliced a standard spacer with a bandsaw.

 

I bet he's had people trying to order some though...

[cort1977]

Got to be a joke surely?

[beko1987]

Rear bushes for the ZX turned up today! Bloody heavy they are. It's a shame I ordered my shocks from another country as they might have been here for the weekend as well. Hey ho, a job for another day.

[alf892]

I got a tender invite at work.

 

Now I like to think I can hold my own in bullshit bingo but this company is out there and ahead! I like to know who I am dealing with so always research any offered tenders. First stop is the 'What we do' page where I find this:

 

"While our competition is still catching up to cloud technology, the cloud is already in our DNA, fully contemplating the Nexus of Forces (Mobile, Cloud, Information and Social). NeoGrid pioneered supply chain solutions that enable companies to access action-oriented collaboration tools in a high-scale, low-cost Software as a Service (SaaS) environment in the 1990s, even before the concept of SaaS was commonly adopted at a larger scale. In 2008, NeoGrid acquired Agentrics, which was created from the merger of Worldwide Retail Exchange (WWRE) and GlobalNetXchange (GNX), both established on the initiative of retail enterprises for developing the efficiency of commercial practices."

 

None the fecking wiser really!!

[320touring]

basically they have bought enough companies to be Skynet.

 

I for one welcome our new AI overlords

[MarvinsMom]

was there not a translate button on the page somewhere that would translate all that gibberish/bullshit/management gobshite into word that normal people can understand?

[richardthestag]

new stainless cats and front pipes on Range Rover have...

 

a) stopped da rattle

unleashed quite a few more horses - reckon the o/s cat was seriously bunged up !

 

fvcking pricey though

[AlabamaShrimp]

Finally managed to send off my £3 the other day to enter the Fiesta into the car show in a couple of weeks. Had the form ages but ticked the box for 'do you want to be a judge' but thought it would be too late.

 

Got this today

They do stuff with websites, probably specialising in those annoying pop-up adverts. Either that of they own GCHQ and are watching all of us right now

[alf892]

Not sure what they fully do but in this case they organise getting pricing in for mundane items......aka tender.

 

They do this by making it sound like a great opportunity for us while really we offer a price only to find this enters us into a reverse auction. These are surreal and I just don't do them anymore.

 

Anyway........that 'about me' page tells you all you need to know really...........they are a bunch of pretentious twats.

[cms206]

Saw this today.

 

I also spent the day in the 1970s. Which was dismal.
