bangernomics Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 That’s an interesting TV for 14.2. I’d expect more like 100mph. Whats the 60’ time? 2.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Did the disklok clean up okay? It was my intention to steel wool it and spray it a luminous colour with laquer. It only has one key. Whatever you do, don't loose it 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 The Lexus is off away now and the E240 is back to daily duties. The drivers window got a bit SELF AWARE and started going up and down of its own accord like JOAN COLLINS KNICKERS after a period of prolonged rain so I pulled the fuse to keep it in the up position. The drivers door speaker and driver's door mirror have also gone off so I'm guessing there's an issue with the door loom. Either that or they all work off the same fuse. Other than that, it's just been conveying me about the land smoothly and comfortably.

Jim Bell Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Bad news is I found a crack in the bumper. Either, A) it's always been there and I've just not noticed it. Or B ) some arse fanny has bumper kissed it at a supermarket at some point in the last year.

Ones definitely "cooler" and the other is probably "better". Decisions, decisions. I’m in the same boat with my W210 and my Volvo 940… I’m delaying that decision as long as possible!

Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Boring update. I've had the W210 now for eleven months, which I think is a personal best. It's been the best car I've ever had so I would be a fool to go and purchase anything else. Good morning. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a fool. It all started way back the day before last friday. I was using facebook for its intended purpose, reading up on obscure motor vehicles in a closed group for owners of an specific obscure motor vehicle that nobody likes and that I did not own. There was one for sale. It was sort of green. The advert was one year old. I thought to myself "well that's definitely sold. You can't even buy a kilogramme of cheese with the money he's asking for that obscure car that nobody likes. I'd better check though. Just to make sure." So I drafted a polite and friendly message to the seller in the time honoured fashion: IS THIS STILL AVAILABLE?

Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 I received a reply while idly picking my nose, which is one of those details that I probably shouldn't have mentioned. "Good evening. Yes the car is still available. There has been no interest because nobody likes them." This was very unexpected. After wiping my current haul of nose gold onto a piece of kitchen roll, which was then thrown into the bin which was almost sixteen feet away ON MY FIRST TRY, I sent a prompt and polite response. "Well fuck everyone else in the world that isn't me and you mate, I think it's lovely. If you can get an MOT on it, I'd be happy to buy it." And so to today. Had a terrible dream where the pope was watching me have a poo. Can only get better from here.

Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 The traditions will be coming thick and fast because the day is barreling by swiftly. Traditional collection thread tradition the first: An photograph of a treasured family pet. The morning dog walk. Poo count up from none to one. With the cresting of the first brown of the day, we are officially underway. Coprolalia, dome, Mally and 28 others 20 1 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Traditional collection thread tradition the second: The unveiling of the collectioneering fuel. Today's collectioneering fuel will be a hearty Gregg's breakfast.

Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Traditional collection thread tradition the third. The public transportation device. Today's methods will be various.

Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 At this point we take our first Toilet interlude. Toilet interludes may take place unexpectedly but in themselves, are also a traditional tradition of the collection thread. I'm in Gateshead and I think there's a communal public convenience just up by Tesco's which isn't creepy. I'll see if it's still open. Thank god it's open. Don't even have to pay, fantastic! And it's empty. Great! P.C. up one to two. Refreshed, we move on. mitsisigma01, dome, Shirley Knott and 25 others 11 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Public transportation device the second. Lareg tren. Full of bank holiday types.
