Skizzer Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Louise, Mrs Trig, DrWobbler and Domestic Management are all spoken for. Sorry. Mrs Skizzer is fairly tolerant and will be putting herself on the market if I get an Avantime, a Saab 900, a Princess or any kind of project. garethj, Louise2cv and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 About to test Mrs R's shite-count. She needs a lift (in a posh frock) to a tea party later today. The Cowley desperately needs a good run out but there are no carpets and the seat stuffing is coming out of every stitch. Theres an old army blanket covering* the worst of it. Also last time she was togged up the fan belt went so she has less than rosy memories of the car right now. Bet we end up taking the Merc.....

Sigmund Fraud Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I reckon most DSG boxes must be a lot better than this as people rave about the VW one. I am a confirmed VAG H8R, but I must admit that the DSG is the smoothest automatic box I've ever encountered. It's bIoody complex, though, and I wouldn't want to pay the bill when it eventually goes wrong... ALL MODERN BOXEZ R SHIT, BRING BACK TEH TORQUEFLITE etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The DSG boxes are good although I wouldn't want to own one with 130,000 miles on it.I drove a 3.2 Audi Titi with that box and it managed to be fast on the flappy paddles without that big thunk you get from robotic gearboxes and a smooth auto in normal drive mode. Not as impressive as the 3 speed slushomatic in my Rover obv but still impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous user Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I lost my wedding ring in the past week while I was away at work. Just make sure you also lose receipts for any dinners for two, double hotel rooms, lap-dancing clubs, casinos, etc and hide your credit card statement next month.

Pillock Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Our work 3.5t Ivecos have that manual-with-magic-inside gearbox. Apparently they are utterly shit at three - point turns due to the mega delay selecting reverse, you just end up blocking the road for ages.

HillmanImp Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi viz vests Can we make it so they are licensed and you have to prove your need to wear one? These were traditionally used as society's marker for someone who should have tried harder at school. The lines seem to be blurring somewhat these days though with anyone and everyone wearing them in roles that do not even require them to be 'highly visable'. I see gardeners wearing them when mowing the lawn. Why, surely something high viz would be better off on the flowerbed so that you can spot my shrubs before you trample all over them. Social climbing by clothing. Whatever next. Suppose its the exact opposire of Burberry myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Livered Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Social climbing by clothing. Whatever next.Social climbing by clothing has beeen around for a very long time; probably as long as clothing has. Going right back to the beginning, I imagine that wandering around in nice furs would mark you out as a competent hunter! Clothing choice can say "I'm wealthy and can afford nice clothes", or "I'm switched on, tuned in and trendy". As far as workwear is concerned, it can say "I'm important and not to be fucked with" or - if it's a high vis jacket - something more like "I'm busy doing a job, please respect that and co-operate with me". It's a styling element that both those with genuine authority (police) have in common with those who are genuinely busy and doing an important job (like those who repair roads, utility pipework, etc). If I was going to try to nick a car using the tactic of blatantly hiabing it in broad daylight, I'd wear a high vis jacket. Partly for the very simple reason that it's a good idea to look like the "real thing" but also because the jacket might help reduce the likelihood of being asked awkward questions by neighbours or whatever. Before approaching me, my attire would already have declared my bona fides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 apparently a hi viz and a clipboard means you can commit any crime in broad daylight, no questions asked. Also, I've recently moved up the social ladder by ditching the yellow hi viz and wearing an orange one instead. Instant manager powerz!

Pillock Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I borrowed a work van today, drove to a store, and left with £5k worth of very nice new TVs. I had permission to do so. It was all legit. But because I went in via the warehouse, I had a hi-vis on. Because I had a hi-vis on, nobody questioned a thing. No paperwork, no phone calls, nothing. Because I had a hi-vis on, they loaded my van for me! The van wasn't even signwritten, I can't drive our 3.5t lutons as I have no tacho card so they gave me a hired white sprinter. michael1703, Minimad5 and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtriple Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I managed to break two toes this morning getting into the bath/shower. You are not supposed to kick shit out of the bloody thing... apparently! However, because of the amount of painkillers/nerve damage (completely dead left leg!) I've got, I didn't notice until I looked down and saw two little piggies sticking out at a funny angle. I just twisted/bent them back into position and carried on. I had to go to the hospital today anyway for a scan (yet another!) on my spine so got them to see if I'd done any damage.... er, yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
