The grumpy thread

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Fucking pistonheads(yes i post on there sometimes dont lynch me) closing my topic coz i asked what people though my cambelt lotto audi 100 was worth?

haymarket cnuts.

[DodgeRover]

I believe the correct answer to that question over there is always "considerably less than mine".

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

''Please use our classifieds to value your car'' ..

 

 

Ah yes PH because those are completely rammed to bursting point with 1980's vag tat.

 

KNBS.

[Parky]

Never argue with powerfully built company directors......

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Some decent lads on there, But some UTTER 640d on tick knobs too.

 

Audis gonna be FORKS ALE soon, I know coming in the grumpy thread is a strange prequel to a sale.

 

Sorry

Just spilt coke on my laptop and it wouldn't turn on again. Frantically stripped it down to the motherboard to dry it out but I'm expecting the worst

[richardmorris]

May be ok with a new keyboard. I may have spilt a glass of wine over mine. Various keys operating permanently and some not at all. Plugged in a usb keyboard to check and all was fine, so ordered a replacement from eBay for about £15 and all was well again.

Mine is off being fixed after I spilt whisky into it. I managed to claim it off my house insurance .

Bloody roads have entered winter surface mode. Set of lights on the way home I filter to the front on the bike and burn the cars off to get a bit of clear Road. Lights go amber, I drop clutch, forward motion achieved, revs increase as expected and then boom massive wheelspin and some very snappy fishtailing before I managed to get the thing back in shape.

 

Yes yes yes it's my fault for not assessing the conditions but winter can fuck off

Left the battery, ram and hard drive in a rice bag and the motherboard cleaned as best I could with a soft cloth and airbrush. Will try putting it back together tomorrow and hope for the best. Actually just set up my Onedrive a few days ago so nothing vital would be lost, but still want to access the rest of the stuff on there

Every winter I see a bloke on one of those gay MP3 things doing that from every set of lights. He just pins the throttle & fucks off up the road sideways. It's the only thing I've ever seen to make a MP3 look fun.

Would you believe there are people this stupid in the world ? They even let them drive.

I would suggest that her chances of getting help would improve greatly if one could understand WTAF she was on about.........

[AMC Rebel]

Why can't people on moronbook use proper words?

I was wondering that.  I know a lot of people say it's cruel to have a go about spelling etc - because some people have dyslexia etc, and that is fair enough, but that stuff in the pic seemed as if it would be more effort than just typing the proper words.

Need to stop being so bloody PC and stop worrying about people's feelings etc.

Crap spelling I can tolerate to an extent - you can still see easily what a wrongly spelt word is (and I make mistakes too) but fucking Facebook talk can fuck right off. It's spreading too.

 

In her case I'd say it's intentional too. Able to spell "mechanic" but spell "done" as "dun" FFS

Well that was the rule.

 

But maybe she is entitled to a space. Perhaps she deserves it.

 

Have you seen those Ford ads?

I spent 10 minutes in a less than perfect environment therefore I deserve a new car!

F me is that how people really think these days?

Yes !

I achieved fuck all today

 

Woke up cold, drove to work cold,tried to work in the cold,got wet,sacked it off and drove home cold to a cold house.

 

First proper rain we've had in 6 months

 

Dark mingebag day

 

It's not even properly cold yet either

 

Humbug

[inconsistant]

Serious question, how can you remove this stuff from car paint work?

Autoglym Super Resin Polish worked for me.

Hand prints/Nivea factor 50 sun block on dark grey Ovlov paint, they had been on car about 18months-2 years by the time I sorted it. Might take 2 or 3 goes but did work for me and they haven't returned. Dark grey/black/silver paint is most succeptable apparently.

 

I did loads of research especially on detailing forums where there are a billion recommendations for a billion different products for every request for help but no one ever came back to say whether any of them actually worked or not.

The wind caught my car door and put a bonnie dent in the door of a mini parked next to me. Not looking forward to the repair bill.

£250. Deep joy.

Sell corolla to cover it?

[drum]

Sold it for £280 last week!

[Supernaut]

Apparently we're due snow in Aberdeen this weekend.

 

Fuck off!

[320touring]

So you're 30 quid up then:)

It snowed very briefly here, now it's just gale force winds and sleet.

 

My car is covered in bloody sea salt...

Would rather be 280 up!

[sporty-shite]

Just thought I'd check online to see when the MOT runs out on Mrs S's Fiesta.

 

A fucking month ago.

 

Bollocks.

My mum last week:

"Dave, can you remember when I bought my car? When does the MOT run out?"

I checked the reg online for her.

"June 2016"

In her defence she drove straight to an MOT place and it passed first go.

[Mr Lobster]

Toothache. Chance of me getting an appointment Mon / Tues before NEC stuff kicks in = Zero. Guess I'll be buying a lot of painkillers in the coming days then.
