The grumpy thread

[Aston Martin]

There is dadsnet as well.

Or Pistonheads forum as some people call it.

One is full of whinging babies, the other is mumsnet.

That sounds more like here at the moment if you dare criticise someone or not post anything that's not car related.

[Barry Cade]

Can't we all chip in for that bus, and have a Autoshite summer holiday to rural France and convoy home in a load of Tagora's? Or just a weekly sweep of Britain's motorway network picking up all the drivers of FTP's

[warren t claim]

Dilemma. I leant my spare taxi to another driver at work and a loan shark he owes money to smashed the mirrors off it thinking it belonged to the other driver.

 

I can get the money for the mirrors plus a payment for my time and trouble off the loan shark and to be honest, I'd probably enjoy putting the frighteners on the low life, fat, hack driving cunt but my fellow driver wants to pay me himself as he's 65 years old and frightened.

 

I really don't know what to do?

[Lankytim]

Kick the sharks face in.

[mercrocker]

Strap him into an orange Merc, take him to the multi storey and show him how to knock mirrors off properly.

[Alfamale]

Take excessive wedge from loan shark. Fix motor. Give excess of wedge to mate to keep aforementioned loan shark off his back?

[purplebargeken]

Twat the fuck out of the loan shark because loan shark.

Service history is great, isn't it? It means I've got documentary evidence of a service, with an air filter, every year since my car was new. And means that when I come to do it, everything will come apart really easily as a result, and that there's absolutely no way I'll have to spend more than two hours with a variety of different sized screwdrivers, a chisel, a hacksaw and a hammer cutting airbox screws up because they're rounded off, rusty, threaded and otherwise generally look like they've not been touched since some time around Christmas 1998. Not at all.

If only we had half the site devoted to stuff that's not to do with crappy old cars, so people can find the crappy old car stuff amongst everything else.  What a great idea that would be.

 

Jon - sympathy re Piazza, that sucks.

 

What no keyless entry and 156mph drivers being bigged up??? Shirley not.

 

Now who was it who had a problem with their 2015 Corsa?

[cort16]

I had a plan to drop the p6 off so I could get mot'd next week. I thought I'd change the coolant and stat first after it ran hot on it's last outing.

Simple right? No. I ended up covered in sealant, dropped half my tools down the side of the engine and had a toddler tantrum after my led light went out everytime I needed it and end up throwing it against the wall and smashing it into 1000 bits..

Anyway, I got it altogether but didn't have time to drop it off. When I came out the lockup there was a couple sitting in the  back garden of their house trying not to make eye contact with me. They must have heard all the smashing, tears and wailing. Fucking cars.

[mercrocker]

God knows what my neighbours must think (one side is a care home....).  My inner chimp usually comes to the fore almost every time I work on the bastards.....

[cort16]

Zen, Radio 2 and coffee. I've had a rather pleasant weekend stripping 2 Almera's and swapping clutches/gearboxes in the drive.

[MarvinsMom]

It may not even be programmed into the stock control system yet,or if it is and is put through early and its noticed head office will be ringing up.

It's a bit daft putting the stuff out if you can't sell it though,it's like the old days when you could see the beer in the supermarket,but you couldn't buy it until later on 

[Barry Cade]

Still like that here...

[Craig the Princess]

RIP Father Jack. They're dropping like fugging flies this year.

And 18 years to the day after Dermot Morgan died. RIP to both.

Not really. Either they have to stay late after close on Sunday - O/T - or come in before opening early doors Monday. I don't think they should be working when the shop is shut, they've got homes to go to and so should just get the stuff out when it's quiet on Sunday night ready for the morning.

 

I'd be pissed off if all the staff and blagger had bought all the stuff up before the advertised date.

[MarvinsMom]

And 18 years to the day after Dermot Morgan died. RIP to both.

now that is really shit... god knows how they (father ted and father jack hacket) made me bad with laughing/

 

there i only one thing to be said about it

 

FECK!

 

ARSE!

 

GURLS!

 

DRINK!

 

DRINK!

[mercrocker]

My grump is that I have just been reminded its 18 years since Dermot Morgan passed away.  EIGHTEEN YEARS!

I could have robbed a bank and been out by now, but instead I am still wearing the same jacket to the same job......

[Tamworthbay]

What tosser turns up to buy a MONDAY Special Buy on a SUNDAY? :PNow wait until Monday like everyone else.

doesn't say Monday special on the bin! Just had tape over it, proper stupid.

[Tamworthbay]

And I can't go Monday until late as I work and they will have sold out, so lidl s only for lazy tossers it seems.......

[Richard]

I don't think it will be sold out by the end of the day, there isn't the rush there used to be for Lidl tat.
