The grumpy thread

The engine has just blown on the m1

 

[purplebargeken]

^^ Fuck

[danthecapriman]

^^ Fuck!

 

Do you know how bad it is yet?

[fordperv]

Replacement engine job it's dead, engine started knocking plumes of smoke then crunching then seized I clutched it and coasted when I heard the knocking, won't even turn over on the starter, may be the end of the car with me when ive put an engine in, I've had enough

Oh shit! Such a shame as it looks such a nice car.

[Sheefag]

What a shame, it's a lovely looking old thing, the best colour.

Our local council make you apply for a permit in advance which is then posted to you, allowing you to use a van to tip household waste. My solution is to always have an estate car handy. The Focus probably holds more than the chevanne anyway.

 

Having Berlingo and Kangoo cars was a God send for this and could be quite profitable if you did rubbish removals for people to earn a few quid. Allegedly.

That really sucks, such a great looking example

Stupid cunting neighbour has just dumped a metric fuckton of shitty lino at the base of the tree outside of his house.

 

He keep dumping shit like this. I've dumped stuff back in his front before but I am not touching this stuff as it looks rank.

 

Tosser.

 

Oh great, overwhelmed by shit feeling of ennui. Think I'll just fuck off back to bed.

That's handy* if you need to get rid of something in a hurry. Highland Council isn't so bad after all.

I wonder what the fly tipping statistics are in areas where taking rubbish to the dump is a faff.

A bit like this.

 

 

Somebody has dumped a caravan full of rubbish, a burnt out Shogun and a shitty old Volvo at the side of the road. Apparently there's at least two skips worth of stuff dumped along this road every month.

Whats wrong with this picture?

Well the saph is at home now, the upside was the recovery driver was fantastic, he was an older fella who was really gentle around the car i presume in fear of marking it, he was very complimentary about the car and it's condition, he reckoned sierra's weren't as shiney as mine when they were new, we had a good conversation on the way back about old motors, he even helped me push it into the drive when we got back as well.

Pretty bad, and made worse because they've also closed the tips in the dales, so some would have to travel 30+ miles. Having said that, most of the prosecutions I've read about are pretty close to the tips that are still open.

 

Read yesterday that they're going to trial opening a tip in weardale one day a fortnight. That'll work well..

It's in the future?

I have a good engine if you want it unless you want a hatch instead of a saph.

[Richard]

If everything could stop blowing away now that'd be grand.

[purplebargeken]

Feeling restless, irritated and just meh! Cars are annoying me at the moment. Just because. 

[maxpower]

him "Is it a 7 seater you have?"

me "no, it is a nissan note"... after explaining this to 5 different people who pas me onto another line.

Him"oh i see you're local...you can pick the car up at 3pm"

Forgot to bid on the Prinny last night, sold for less than £500.

 

Went out and drowned my sorrows to the tune of £200, I've rather given up on this whole "life" thing. I'm just incompetent in the extreme, very angry with myself.

A 2.0 dohc?

[Guest Biggus Dickus]

No old cars?

[jakebullet]

Discovered a downside to kinky girl being bi. Got here to find day at park is cancelled in favour of let's go to gay pride. Oh joy. As expected it was shit. Give it up for some twunt who was rejected off x factor 3 years ago. 

 

I'd have had more fun staying home drilling dice valve caps.

[Supernaut]

Oh piss off. Those are old cars now.

 

Also, if you don't like it, change it! Go on, contribute an old car yourself. If you can't, STFU.

[Guest Biggus Dickus]

I never said they werent old cars, but they arent exactly "shite" are they? Just typical examples you can see anywhere.

 

Anyway, never mind. I see the sites friendliness has gone too. Goodbye.

one of us, one of us, one of us, etc.

Different is good, even if different is still broken it doesn't owe you anything, no stigma etc.

welded the exhaust up on my x300 so I disconnected the battery and can't find the radio code

 

My radio in the scimitar has thrown a wobbler

 

Due to lack of radios I've had the same song in my head for the last week
