What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[jakebullet]

Got taken on a day bus trip to Whitby by a young lady I know. Contrary to how women are supposed to behave at the seaside, it was we can do anything* I want to do, so beers n much fun ensued.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* apart from play hide the sausage, on account of she plays for the other team. Maybe that's why she wasn't a huge pain in the arse.

Iron crosses and gothic fonts redolent of the Third Reich, original*.

 

Speaking of shit-for-cunts slogans on cars, I've noticed a trend for "Because...", "BecauseVTR" and "BecauseFiesta" both being spotted recently.

Fuck off and die.

Yes. There's a green Polo mk3 usually parked (maybe abandoned) on my walking route to work. It has "because Polo" stickered vertically on the nearside of the windscreen. I'm thinking of changing my route to avoid it.

These ones really annoy me

At our local motorfactors and we spot the super tidy gold Perodua Nippa that's the spit of DW's.  Inside the shop is Barry, he's 92, he owns the Nippa (and a lot of other old cars too, apparently) and is ordering new Oxy-acetylene gear so he can finish some jobs.  Barry is a winner.

Ive had a bunged up head for a few weeks, and a bit of man flu. Was bending down earlier laying new anti slip tape under our large rug, and sneezed...

 

About 1/4 a pint of liquid fell out of my nose. Was slightly worried i was going to die, or it was blood, but nope, just clear liquid.

 

Apols if your eating and reading this, but i can breathe through my nose again, which feels alot better!

Many years ago when I was a teenager living in Brussels, I'd had this cold and was bunged for a long time, probably about 4 weeks or so. Even when the cold cleared up my nose was still bunged up. So after getting very fed up of it, I sniffed back as hard as I could when some lump fell from the back of my nose into my throat, I retched it up and spat out this clear cube of phlegm like substance into the bathroom sink, I was very astonished by it. After that, I could breath through my nose clearly, I was back to normal!

Met two seriously hot/fit/gorgeous women today and they both helped me with Phoebe (dog) who had hurt her fucking leg... again! First time we've had a serious 'ouch!' moment since she had the pins in her leg and I am so careful to carry her/help her up difficult bits, but I was distracted for a second by said glorious ladies!

 

At least I found out I'm not (yet) gay as I found myself quite 'tumescent'

Went to the tip recycling centre this afternoon to dump some ferret shite and assorted garden waste, a pug 206 pulled up behind with some massive polycarbonate sheets wedged into it. I asked if I could have them, he helped me swap them into the doomrover instead. He also had 7 paving slabs he was going to dump so I got them too. Recycling technicians tip monkeys looked on but didn't say anything.

 

 

Also, in tescos car park was this total winner.

 

 

So a pretty good day so far!

I drive past that and it's blue twin on the 692 on my commute.  I shall try to get a picture.

 

That 106 looks smart, is that a for sale sign in the windscreen?

[scaryoldcortina]

Yeah, the scamp lives at dipton along with a rickman ranger, has done for ages. It just makes me grin every time I see it!

 

 

The 106 is for sale, £150.... beware though, it's the one autofive was complaining about a week or so back.

[320touring]

have had a wee play with the mapping on the octavia.

 

now running 16.8secs for the 1/4mile, as opposed to 18 secs previously.

 

not bad for £13.59

2am, sitting by a pool, chatting with a girl. Convo moves to cars.

She: "I saw a really cool car the other day."

Me: "O RLY what was it?"

She "Something called a Citroen LN"

Now back from working in Portugal so today I took the primrose connie up to Suffolk for an outing to Helmingham Hall classic car show. The £400 75 behaved impeccably, and we passed a few broken VAG products on the A12 

[Sloth in a bowl]

I went to the Gloucestershire Steam Extravaganza today.

Best quote from the commentary box 'Jerry restored his Cortina very quickly, it only took him 4 months and a divorce. Well done Jerry.'

 

A few taster pictures below...

 

 

 

 

5 litre, single cylinder, 2 stroke, diesel makes epic sound

I wonder if this was were the Bedford TK luton and the AEC tipper truck were heading that we saw on the way back from Ripon tonight?

[fordperv]

Well I'm sunburnt, tired but fordfair was fantastic.

The old girl has a few marks but doesn't polish up bad

 

Next up get the car in for paint to get it right again

Some arsehole seems to have done a bad impressionistic painting of an orange Focus on your doors. Vandalism these days is just getting weird.

[DeeJay]

Ha, from that photo I thought you had painted flames down the side.

[fordperv]

Must be the angle I took the picture the graffiti looks much better on this one

 

[hairnet]

double grin

 

the bike - apart from cursory look over and check stuff wasnt hanging off (the top box is fucked) - will be binned asap and a rear indi lens fell off somewhere on the way home

 

went to put pez in it and ragged it home 275 miles

 

and got to craven arms on a49 - phone had died somewhere in warks/oxon - nice blerk in the texaco - he let me charge phone for 10 mins so i could ring home - theyll get nice email

 

sorry breadbin only just seen yer msg phone died about an hour after i collected the bike :/

[catsinthewelder]

You daft sod,  you could have charged your phone here and had a brew as well

 

Bike trip sounds great,  I'm getting very tempted to get another motorbike.  I cycle to work now and again but the new house is at the top of Angel Bank so cycling home isn't really going to happen.

You don't see that everyday

If I was first on the scene to that id have to resist the urge to drive very fast at it and punt it off somewhere...

It could well make you a Minnionaire.

I could never steal that. Swmbo and eva would demand we inflate it in the garden, and it would blow away and cause omgtraffikaos local to me!
