Yeah thanks. A bang or two on the swede but nowt major.

Stupid BFO logging truck coming the other way in the middle of the road forced me to either head for vergetown or try my luck with a head on smashbattle.

The three hour walk home in 35C heat was the worst part.

 

did the BFO logging truck leave the scene of the accident he caused.....?

After 10 years on Autoshite, I've just used the Ignore function for the first time.

I had 28 people filtered on my old account.

 

There's one person I ignore as alcyonecorporation. And no, it's not you. I used the report button for the first time in 2017. I too have been posting in various forms here for ten years. 

 

Blocking people wasn't getting me anywhere. Although there are several users on here who regularly get on my nerves, there isn't a great deal I can do about it.

Were I in charge, I'd kick them so hard through the door they wouldn't land for a week. Undemocratic, so it's probably right I'm not a mod. 

 

If I bugger off for a few days, I'm either not feeling the content and/or pissed off with something posted.

Lots of proper angry bastards around at the moment (posting essays on here about minor motoring transgressions)

 

I turned around by reversing into the opening of a one way side street the other day, and a passing police car stopped in front of me and the driver was yelling something at me (I didn't open my window) about the manoeuvre's illegality. He was actually angry about it. Truly bizarre. 

 

Between this and all the dashcam overreactions I see on YouTube, I reckon the Franz Ferdinand moment which kicks off World War III is going to be some bloke stopping in a yellow box junction and being attacked by cyclists.

Yes. Yes it did. No hint of stopping even though I was sliding down the bank as it was driving past/at me.

It must be an everyday occurrence in these parts. A few people drove past as I was trying to get out of the car and didn't stop either. If I saw someone stumbling out of a car ditched down a steep banking I'm sure I would stop. If only to take a photo.

I went to Bug Jam yesterday.

As we got in, the news going around was that BlackCurrent had crashed at the top end of the strip, just after crossing the line at 135mph. This car was seriously nice, being a record-holding full electric doorslammer. A truly magnificent car, a wonderful bit of engineering, capable of 8 second quarter miles.

 

There's a few grumps around this, I had a personal attachment to this car as it turns out it was built from a car my ex used to race, and prior to that we used to cruise around in bouncing off the bumpstops. I still remember taking her to look at it when it was for sale back in about 2002. It was a few years before I realised - wasn't until I saw the car with the decklid on and recognised the reg plate. I was reminded of this seeing the paint scraped off the door showing the lurid non-VW green colour, I think the doors and roof skin were the only original parts.

Secondly, people at the show had posted the crash to facebook before anyone knew anything - bearing in mind the driver's mum is on facebook and could have easily seen her son in a horrific accident with no context or confirmation he was OK. More than a little crass - in fact from the banking they had no idea if the driver was out of the car or even alive.

 

Thankfully the cage did the job perfectly and despite the car doing two full rolls and hitting the wall upside down, the driver lept out into the arms of a track official (to stop him touching a potentially live car!) and was drinking ale in the pits an hour later

 

In happier times...

 

RIP BlackCurrent.

 

Oh, also the weather at Santa Pod was proper dogshit, so I saw a total of four cars go up the strip before the rain came down. Although that meant I sat in the pits drinking tea and chatting shit all day (and someone had offered up half price tickets anyway) so not a total loss.

Apparently having a mountain bike in the house is 'unsightly' and I need to 'put the bloody thing in the garage.' Pfft, women, hey?

^^ Leave a car engine on the kitchen table. Mountain bike will then be forgotten about. Sorted.

Just say that you would worry about it being in the garage as it cost you so much.

She had a 6ft tall naked black Mannequin in this spot for about 2 years, I reckon the bike is a bit more reasonable TBH but she still moans about it from time to time.

The parents got so sick of my bikes in the laundry/back of the garage that they got me a shed.

Then I got my Whyte which I refuse to keep in the shed. For some reason they don't mind.

At one point my mum was suggesting I get a mk2 Chopper for my birthday and keep it in the dining room!

Fucking scumbag wankers. They need their heads kicked in until they stop moving & then kick them in again till they start moving. Then burying in a shallow unmarked grave, no matter if the are still breathing or not.

 

They've failed the being decent humans test & should be culled like any other vermin.

Personally I'd round the little cunts up and force them to shove all the broken glass up each others arses, then give every one of them the arse kicking of a lifetime!

Then maybe every time they need to take a dump they'll think back. 'The reason shitting is now so painful is because I was a little cunt and smashed up someone's property'!

What she means is a motorcycle is more astetically pleasing.

 

Oh aye, I told her about the new one (scooter) coming. That went down quite well*

 

 

 

I had my road bike in the house for months, after my old mountain bike got stolen. I've only got this one in there as I'm going to work on it in the morning, so can't be arsed moving two vehicles, several lawn mowers and a lock at 5.00am tomorrow.

Fireblade in the house (aesthetically pleasing), mountain bike in the garage (more room). Job jobbed.

This works a treat with no evidence of the crime*

However using the oven to heat the cylinder head to replace valve guides stinks the house out and reduces your popularity rating by about 123000%
