4 weldings and a funeral

Charming but bumbling Charles (Hugh Grant) and friends love British chod. They especially love to bumble around in Charles' convertible Morris Minor but, after failing an mot, the Minor has to go for some welding. While collecting the car, Charles sees and has his head turned by the welder's 70s Cadillac.

Over the course of 3 further trips to the welders, we witness Charles steadily fall for the Cadillac and eventually sell his Minor so he can pursue his dream of wafting around in American chod. Sadly a few years later the Minor finally succumbs to the tinworm and Charles reads a moving but bumbling eulogy at the funeral ceremony for the pile of crusty flakes that was once his pride and joy.

No Time ToDay

It's 5 o'clock as James Bond approaches the Classic Sports Car Specialist, tucked away in the corner of an industrial estate,on foot.Q had dropped him off round the corner in his new Hyundai Ioniq. Bond had dropped his DB5 off this morning as arranged,and put the keys through the letter box. He'd asked the proprietor to tune the triple carbs to improve the lumpy low speed running. Also to give the brakes a going over, because despite being Mot exempt, he wanted to be safe. And to give him a quote for some paintwork where bullet holes had been badly repaired in the past.He'd rang the guy several times during the day,being assured he was about to start work on it. Eventually the calls went unanswered. Bond could see the car hadn't been touched, and was now boxed in by a Laguna and a Vivaro van. The guy is just locking up for the day. Wild with rage, Bond creeps up behind him, overpowers him, forces him to the ground, and kneeling on his chest, proceeds to strangle the truth out of him with a length of speaker wire he'd found lying about. Bloke tells him he's been on his own all day, as his mate had been on a bender the night before and failed to turn up. He'd a Mondeo clutch change to finish, hampered when ECP had sent the wrong bits. He promised to get onto the Aston first thing in the morning and gave Bond the keys to a 58reg Focus "courtesy car" that he'd taken in part exchange against an early E Type what he'd done up,telling him to mind the brakes as they were a bit spongy.
