Floatylight Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Bike to the station, then train tosser to meet fellow Shiter, poor breakfast shot due to son having crept down in the night and drunk all the milk, no lunch shot as son crept down in the night and gave the salad for my sandwiches to his guinea pig..

Wouldn't work in my house! 1: there's no place for salad on any sandwich I'm going to eat 2: no son lives here to creep down and steal it 3: no guinea pig lives here (my dog would eat them). But good luck anyway! Steviemillar, The Moog and fatharris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busmansholiday Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It's a fine beast that, @flat4alfa took me for a run in it not long ago. Unfortunately, the fact that it kept saying things were wrong, or the bonnet wasn't shut etc would have me looking for a gun to shoot the bastard who's hidden himself somewhere behind the dash. Bleeps and a flashing light ok, been told like a naughty child no! I'm sure Cats children will love it, especially if you can change it to a different language every time you use it.

flat4alfa Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Sorry it’s defective, but is a 27 year old £7 Renault that was very likely defective at year 7.... Glad it’s gone to Cats as it needs proper niggle fix nous - it did give Shitely Floatylight some adventuristic events* getting home missing it already! Wife not quite so. it WILL be the only one at Cholmondley, rain or shine. Bonus. Floatylight, catsinthewelder and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaefft Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Oh its gonna be at Chumley? It'll be good to see it again, I'll happily give everyone a tour around it and show where you can find the button to shut up this weirdo hiding underneath the dash. catsinthewelder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsinthewelder Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Right chaps, Many many thanks to Floatylight who appears to have fixed most of the faults with a casting of fresh eyeballs over them and a long run I believe the V5 is in the car and Flat4 would understandably want the ownership change to happen by Saturday (last day of the month) As it is currently off the road would it be possible for me to do the ownership change online in such a way that I don't have to tax it in August and can start it on Sept 1st? Not the end of the world if I can't but better £22 in my pocket than the DVLA's right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Change ownership but don't tax it until the 1st. You'll hear nothing about it catsinthewelder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
