Finished swapping the P38 transfer box this afternoon,filled it with the best (cheap) Dextron 3 that money can buy,and took it for a test drive

Everything is now running as it should.

High/Low range switches over as it should,the Sport button can be used properly now and the machine gun-like bang bang bang of the drive chain skipping over it's sprockets has gone

As long as I don't get up to a pool of ATF under it in the morning then I'm a happy chappy  :-P :-P :-P

 

We have someone coming around in the morning to buy most of the seats out of the new bus,so thats a few quid back in the kitty

 

oh yes,ECP have a half price sale on at the mo for most fluids.

I got ATF for £6 a litre today

A colleague has a passenger on his tour who was complaining at the amount of bugs on the windscreen of the coach...

Went out to meet fellow mental people tonight and got just nicely drunk. I feel loved for the first time in ages.

Took my scimitar out tonight,just a run to a pub,a whopping 9 miles but it's adding up.

 

I've hardly driven it in 3 years and it's feeling better with each mile

Been wide awake since 4AM but feel reasonably rested and have energy, just prodded my other half and informed her were off to the beach shortly.

 

She thinks I'm crazy because we went to bed at midnight,I've had 4 hours sleep, it's 5AM and it's still dark

 

Where's my shorts?

HAIRY TWATS, I just won this for £67

 

Bollox wins crusty Esperoo, Yay!

I hope he can save it.

 

Then there's 2 roffles today (not for me) what I really want to see is one person win both, as unless I'm mistaken they are at opposite ends of Englandshire.

Junction with 42 sets of traffic lights: Locals in despair as roundabout is replaced by chaotic road layout

Residents raised fears about confusing junction causing chaos for drivers

Grovehill junction in Beverley, East Yorkshire, has 42 sets of traffic lights

It used to be five-route roundabout and was changed as part of £22m plan

It used to be a fairly straightforward junction, but now it's a case of "Follow the guy in-front" The junction next to light 1, is a give-way to add to the shenanigans.

 

 

 

Google hasn't been updated so you can see the before roundabout. Map

 

 

 

It has worked, people now avoid it altogether. :lol:

this is the sort of EPIC POHAILL that Redcar Council would be pleased with.

 

they have a habit of really fucking up improving simple roundabouts with something that a quantum physicist would struggle to follow with line-lines-traffic lights in weird and wonderful ways.

 

seems east yorks council are just as incompetent wankers careful and successful traffic flow engineers.

Saw a very, very clean Mk1 Escort floating about Beckenham/Shortlands yesterday.

 

Looked it up on DVLA, and it's a proper RS2000 - totally original and looked very, very cared for.

Have you seen what they've done with the High st/Riverside way/Victoria bridge/A66 junction in Stockton? Used to be a roundabout with a model train on it, now it looks like a Neill Blomkamp film gone wrong.

Well step this way..........

 

I have a wonderful Oldsmobile sedan that still smells of American person. You will have to change your name so that it ends in 'Bob' though.

Had a lovely 40 mile drive to collect some hoovers earlier. Roads were quiet, some misic drowned out thr blowy exhaust and I followed an R reg vauxhall combo d for 12 miles, not seen one of those in ages! Was a bit ropey though

Les Oakes looks like a fantastic building as well.

It's a fantastic place, it's got a bit of a museum type part with old carriages etc it's great to just go to have a look around inside

Car Sales Memes.

Last time I looked on their facebook page it was quite homophobic and featured the kind of "banter" I actively avoid.

Anyway, look at this salesman's fucking hair! Would you buy a car off him?

ah the old iced gem haircut, I wonder where his twin is hiding.

I don't do Facebook but do follow them on twitter, can't say I've noticed the homophobia.

I don't sell cars but I can identify with a lot of the sales/targets/management bullshit.

What's their Twitter ID?
