The grumpy thread

[lesapandre]

You're obviously right, I should have sorted it.

 

I had hoped a message to the buyer would have helped first though. Obviously in this instance it didn't, and I've learned a lesson the hard way.

 

Just for anyone else, I lost the trader part of the V5. Buyer kept the rest.

Its always good to keep a record of the vehicle ref. I photograph most docs these days and keep in a file just in case. 

 

I'd write to them and explain with the date of transfer.

Fucking 'EPB faulty' warning on the Vel Satis has come on AGAIN.

 

Works perfectly and the warning came on for no apparent reason at about 50 mph.

Anyone else suspect crappy sensor/fake warning/dirt in something?

[Timewaster]

I read the stupid Audi no. plate as a piss poor effort at making A HUSTLER.

Pay fine.

 

Apply for new V5.

 

Register car as scrapped.

 

Fuck 'em.

I thought it was a bit more extreme than that.

 

DVLA won't issue H17 LER or AH17 LER for obvious reasons.

[Fumbler]

Neither will they issue BA11 BAG.

[John F]

I might be wrong, but the German-style font on that Audi's licence plate makes me suspect its owner is going for the "Hitler" connection rather than "Hustler".

 

In which case he's a weapons-grade tool, but at least he's advertising the fact.

[loserone]

Bramz7 it might be your fail, but it sounds like the buyer is driving uninsured in a car they've deliberately left registered to you and taking advantage of you still paying for the tax.

 

And without wanting to be part of any competition, or be unnecessarily horrible, that's a cunt of a thing to do. I suggest if they don't reimburse the tax and the fine by Christmas, name and shame, and obviously use PMs from here as evidence of sale to DVLA..

Probably supports National Action, or whatever name they're going under at the moment.

It is a bit of a cunt's trick, sin-bin or ban material shirley?

[Supernaut]

I heard the DVLA stopped issuing SH-prefix plates (Glasgow I think) for the 17 reg cars.

[Tamworthbay]

Keep an eye on that, particularly that the rest of the limb doesn't change colour or go weird/numb; that will be a beauty in a few days though, full rainbow job.

Will do, when I first saw it I thought a sharpie had leaked in my pocket so I tried to clean it off with a spray of brake cleaner

It’s just not the done thing is it? Not on here anyway. You don’t want to upset the Beige Illuminati for fear of waking up to find a Horsey Horseless Head at the end of your bed

His status as a tool wasn't in doubt.

Mrs Imp out, Imp jr asleep, was looking forward to getting on Autoshite and reading some of the longer threads about peeps cars that I never normally get to read....but t'interweb is so shite it's taking over a minute for a page to load. FFS.

 

Bunch of arse mate.

 

Not even sure if this will post when I hit the button.

 

*EDIT* IT DID!

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I'm on the GWR service from Paddington to Exeter St. David's to go and see my parents.

 

I have a very, very loud family sitting behind me.  Fortunately they did respond to a direct outburst from me regarding my feelings on the matter and they shut up.  We'll see how long that lasts.

 

The seats are rock-fucking-hard as well.

[Sheefag]

Grumpy. Dead and eaten before Bristol Temple Meads.

[myglaren]

#1 son has just been on a flying visit, dumped a dog he rescued in Italy , collected three points on the way here and has buggered off to Barcelona for a week.

Who knew dogs were such hard work

 

 

I really don't like dogs and cats.

[Mally]

I thought my cat was my friend.

But it's just changed it's mind!

[Amishtat]

Is there a revision of the Profanisaurus out this year?

There is. War and Piss I believe.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Currently the train is in Bristol Temple Meads.  And I'm not dead.

 

I'm quite big.  I could probably feed a family of four for a few weeks if my corpse is suitably treated...

[Cavcraft]

Won a really cheap (and equally modern/horrid) van on eBay the other day. Still no word from the vendor for contact details.

[Sheefag]

Got a number for the cunt?

[MrDuke]

Today the infallible Mrs_Duke announced, 24hrs before we officially vacate our old house, that she will not be getting her rusty 10ft box trailer towed to the new house and installed semi-permanently in the tiny driveway. She has instead made last-minute arrangements to sell it to an ex-neighbour.

 

Good news, no?

 

Absolutely, except that the lack of available driveway was THE SOLE FUCKING REASON WHY I SOLD THE FUCKING TRIUMPH.

 

 

She is extremely fortunate to be married to someone who can't afford a divorce lawyer.

When you do catch up with him, throw some used filter tips in his face (Why not just throw it, ashtray and all) while zooming off in your latest purr-chase.

IF ONLY

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I just had to turn around and remind somebody in their early-20s that this 'is a train, not a creche', when he was running up and down the carriage with (presumably) his younger brother, aged about 8...

 

For fuck's sake.

Whats wrong with that? 

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Whats wrong with that? 

 

 

Running up and down the carriage?  The fact that they've been doing it for the last half-an-hour, loudly and it's gone 11PM.

 

Seems to have stopped for now.
