Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends Electric*

Tynemouth is much nicer. 

Look at this gorgeous view. 

There's also a ruin in the background. 

 

 

 

Boat wankers.

Then I stuck some plastic to the front. 

 

This is a wind deflector/bonnet gaurd. It stops stone chips, kills moths and adds about 16 mpg.  Also really ties the front end together, visually. Seemlesly joining the black of the grille with the paint of the bonnet with great style and panache. 

 

 

 

Just ignore the bottom gap.

It's still amazing and doing all the daily business. I want to lift it and get some real tyres but funds are short at the moment.

 

 

 

 

 

I want to do some hillclimbing, a track day, some off roading and maybe autotesting too. I would quite like it to be the worst at a lot of motorsports, just to prove that you can enjoy yourself what ever you're driving. 

Everything is a race car if you're determined enough and don't mind coming last.

Um, can I ask where used veg is available for 30p a litre?

You can ask, but I won't tell you. 

 

*Edit - apologies, on review that sounds like a really shitty thing to say @Flat4. I got a bit from a friend. If you're looking for some I could pass your details on.

You can't beat a magnetic tractor funnel.

I was there yesterday around 4pm on my c90.

Did you see the line of vans and cars with parking tickets? There was about ten of them.

Whazzed a couple of speed holes in my BIG FUN-EL and bolted some big magnets on. 

 

 

Are they felt or rubber based? Just thinking they may spoil your concours finish fella.......

For an emergency fuel helper in the garage I cobbled together ages ago - I used the bizarrely very strong magnets from a knackered hard drive but had to remember a cloth/rag in between them and the paintwork..... these (if rubber based) would've been ideal.

Mine was a shitshow compared to yours - and I stood on the fucker about 9mths after I made it and cracked it to buggery......

They're rubber coated and seem fine against the paint. I'll try not to stand on mine but now that you've mentioned that standing on it is a possibility, it's bound to somehow occur. 

[tooSavvy]

Was following a vehhikkle +trailer, yesterday, and thought nowt about it.... Until I slipped past at the lights, filtering.... It was a Snaggyoungg [ReSayyle Sliver!].

Thought of you.... 😉

Fuck me that's a posh veg slosher! Mine was a small orangina botthe with the base cut off. Fitted perfectly into the zx's filler neck

The dry crusty veg was a cm thick in places when I finally threw it away after the xantia

Yup - nicely done.

I did the typical - I'll just put this down and undo the fuel cap - stepped back,ended up on my arse and swore a lot......

You didn't wash and thoroughly dry it after every use?

I think I might be doing it wrong. 

[beko1987]

You need to make another 6, one for every day of the week then 👍

Depends how close they are to me but I won't need any till the Granvia is back on the road, and that's likely to be August at the earliest.

[paulplom]

Just now 🤣

I'm a member of English Heritage and have a couple of passes if anyone wants to visit the priory, I just live up the road.

I was thinking of taking my drone for some proper photos but I can't remember if it's allowed. I got chased from St. Mary's light house car park with it. They had erected a sign that you had to read with a magnifying glass.

Aye they're quite strict up there man. 

[DVee8]

We had to get permission from Newcastle airport to put up a drone for a wedding on the priory.

I don't give a shit about my paint and JB is the same. They definitely would scratch a decent finish.

I use HDD magnets to keep this piece of caravan awning stuck to my Quickjack, in case of driving rain. They're powerful, eh?

[Jim Bell]

I've not been feeling too great lately so I went to see the doctor (not that one).

I told him I'd been sweating, shaking and had bad wind and terrible nightmares. He said it sounded like withdrawal symptoms. He asked had I given up drinking or smoking recently. 

I looked down at the can of Stella in my hand and said no. No I'm still drinking too much and I can't afford to smoke. 

I did mention that since buying the Rexton, that I'd pretty much given up buying shite old cars COLD TURKEY. 

 

He said this could be very dangerous and that I really should have tapered off and I should buy something SMALL to ease the symptoms. 

I asked for a second opinion and his mate came in and told me that I should also lose a lot of weight. 

 

The cunt. 

[Jim Bell]

So with no time to lose, the doctor (not that one) printed out the internet and started pointing out potential purchases. 

 

He didn't seem to know fuck all about old cars so I just took a prescription for tramadol and said I'd sort it out myself. 

[Jim Bell]

Any so today I'm up before the sparrows first shite of the day and off out down the hill to collect something ill advised and unpractical. 

Post departure PC= 2. 

First transport it the pleb chrain.
