scdan4 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Isn't one of the points of autoshite that you own a car where dings don't matter. Sometimes they even add symmetry and improve the looks of a car. Or you can fix it yourself. Or have I just missed a turn and I'm on Pistonheads. I'm firmly in this camp. A dent or 2 just adds to the patina. Once you hit a critical mass of dents, scratchs, paint, mud and other tasteful adornments then oddly you don't seem to attract any more. Can make "merge in turn" moments a bit more civilised as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's like these shootings and stuff in Tunisia and France.

richardmorris Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Off for an early walk this morning. Parked the fiat at newlands corner miles from anyone at 8.30. Came back two hours ( and 7.5miles) later and someone had parked on my left side about 6 inches away from the door- that's about a foot inside my white lines. Then coming back through Woking ( I hate working) some fat chav in a ford something people carrier drifts across the lane markings on a roundabout as I am on their offside. I toot the horn ( not a long blast, just a toot of the Italian twin tone clamshells) and this tattooed arm appears out of the window with a gesture that winston Churchill would not approve. Oh this was a woman by the way with children in the back( so much for the future of civilisation). On the plus side there was a nice ford cortina just leaving newlands as I was puttin my boots on. Very gene hunt looking in colour and spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugong Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Shit, forgot, left a skylight open all night and of course it rained as it was sunny all day 20150628_093451.jpg You did a wee on the sofa, didn't you? A fly buzzing round my room drove me mental last night. I opened the window as far as I could to let it out, but the stupid thing kept smacking into the pane of glass above it. This went on for at least an hour and I ended up thrashing around in a semi-conscious state trying to whip it out of the air with a sock. I very nearly missed and knocked my round Ecko off the chest of drawers. Had it been one of those candid camera programmes, I'd have probably ended up an internet celebrity. Apparently it sounded like a war was going on downstairs; my housemates kept hearing thumps and bangs punctuated by my shouts of "Fuck off out of the window, you stupid fucker!" Eventually, it landed on the desk and I splattered the bastard with my fist. Richard and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinsMom Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 i'm gonna grump about the weather here too. it's lovely, bright sun, no breeze and the pavement slabs are cracking in the heat. so what's the problem. the mini is sat in his garage at the temple of doom (the inlaws) as the forecast was for rain, thunder, rain and a bit more rain for today. given that information it was decided by SWMBO that the tiny car was better off stopping where he was in his garage. bumhats....

M'coli Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Having been stripping my 1300L today, I think my time of driving a mk2 Cavalier on a regular basis are in the past. This is is also a relief, as I won't be able to rust any more out. It goes for scrap tomorrow. Still, sad times for someone who has had at least one Cav in his life for the last 16 and a half years.

jakebullet Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Ma is watching a shit dvd she's borrowed off idiot sister. It's about an hour in at a guess. I've been in the garage, have no idea what's going on and even less interest in finding out. (idiot sister wouldn't know a good film if somebody rammed one up her fat arse sideways). Ma is giving me the director's commentary. "Oh, it's the dragon!" I don't care. If I wanted to know what was happening I could look at the fish tank with my own mk1 eyeball.

cort1977 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Just spent two hours in fucking 90 odd degree heat taking the back seat of the wife's minivan apart as it wouldn't unfold properly. Pissed around checking all the cables inside were working, adjusted them etc etc, still no joy. Turns out that it won't open fully unless the latches on the floor are fully engaged, a bit of slamming it on the floor to get them working and the bloody thing works perfectly now. I'm now like Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast, a very grumpy, sweaty and sweary man,. beko1987 and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The Spacy broke down on the way to work today, just after filling it up with petrol. No idea what's happened. I put it up on the stand to try and have a look and the stand mount broke off. So I pushed it the mile or so home and resurrected the Chinese bike, which apart from sending my feet to sleep with its vibrations got me to work without drama (albeit 40 minutes late). So instead of a nice relaxing evening watching Big Bang Theory I'm going to be out in the garden pissing about with the scooter. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Green Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 South Africa. 20 rand to the pound just now, which is ludicrous. Just back from there on a Turkish Airways flight that cost £348 return to Gatwick. Go to Cape Town. So amazing that I have no idea where Cape Tonians go on holiday. Everywhere else in the world must be such a disappointment. Rio comes in second place. PS. Usually you can't ship gearboxes or engines because of fluids leaking on other parcels.
