2011 shite plans?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Simple, they meet on facebook after finding that they both 'like' the same video clip of a dog running into a plate glass window

Posted

Oh yeah, and I absolutely must make some progress on my romance novel. Now how do I make two teenage girls (on different continents) aware of each other's place in a boy's affections...? :shock:

 

I'd imagine you've asked the wrong bunch on here.

 

How about writing a novel about some people rediscovering love in their middle years?

Or whatever age group you feel closest to.

 

Well my original question was more-or-less rhetorical, but since you raise the point: my body might be 51 but my head's 15, so I have no problem writing about teenagers. :D The novel does exist, I am actually writing it, and the three protagonists are as described. I'll find a way... (Autoshite romantic fiction, whatever next???)

How about he invites them both back for a threesome, and they meet that way?

Posted

That would be supremely out of character, not only for him, but also for at least one of the girls. But thanks for the suggestion, I might find a use for it... :D

and a racecar

 

Oh you wait, there's a treat for you! :D

I would like to finally drag the Allegro home after 4 years and get it on the road. Then once I've had a bit of fun in it, probably sell it and get something I really want.

Before that though there's lots of work around the house and garden, the Espace needs a bit of tinkering and then selling, Multipla with stripped cambelt needs sorting before sale etc.

At least family court is over with so my year will finally be my own :mrgreen:

I only got as far as '2 teenage girls...'

Posted

I hope you're planning to work a Tagora into the storyline, they could have the threesome in it. :D

I can't help thinking that if "Rita, Sue and Bob Too!" was a French film, Bob (Robert?) would have driven a Tagora SX :D

my plan for 2011 is keep the volvo... get a merc c class estate... and maybe motorhome if i can find a decent one that isn't going for stupid money or is an old bt van with piles of wood chucked in the back with an 8x4 board as a bed :roll:

Get A35 No.1 back on the road, No.2 sold and No.3's wing resprayed. I'd like to take this one to the A30/35 club rally in Dundee (a long way from Southend!) in May '11.

 

Cambridge - sort out the knocking exhaust, get the heater working, tidy up the door bottoms, restrap the drivers seat and strip and paint the roof. New steering wheel and fuel filler

cap would smarten things up as well.

 

Landcrab - cut out the rot from the n/s wing and let in fresh metal, then get some limeflower cellulose mixed up and respray it. Get the steering rack overhauled with new seals and get the power steering working again.

 

Maestro - on the lookout for a manual choke conversion, apart from that just a through wash of the underside and spray plenty of waxoyl into the wheelarches and other vulnerable places.

Well

 

The torsy is being swapped for a Bx gti

 

The sherpa will be getting major tasting up work.

 

The 850 needs some tarting up.

 

Ideally if I have a few spare bob I will hint down a good scimitar gte

Feckin auto text makes me sound like the gendarm from allo allo

do ghost porn - ghosts and porn are the most looked-up subjects on the internet.

trust me, ghost porn must be the next best seller.

 

I work in publishing and I would say that writing novels is difficult - it'll be your second or third that is the first decent one. In the meantime, practice writing the aforementioned ghost porn and collect the cash, saving the real writing for the novel

 

My 2011 shite plans are underway

 

the Messerschmitt will be roadworthy in the spring (hopefully)

the smart roadster goes back on the road in March (laid up for winter)

one XM is going and will be replaced by a BX or Visa

Posted

Dispose of the Scorpio Ultima Cosworth.

Try to get the Sierra Sapphire back on the road.

Attempt to tidy up all my spares department (2 sheds and 1 garage filled to the gunnels with shite car parts)

Build a replacement chassis for my 1961 Land Rover. (I have contacts)

Tidy up my daily driver 1970 Land Rover.

 

Try to deal on a hitherto undisclosed British shite icon. It languishes unloved, locally, with a mechanical fault and an uncaring owner. There isn't a space to watch yet, but I'm working on it.

I'm selling everything and getting an Audi A3 1.9 TDi "S-Line" on tick.

Hey, I got a lift off a lad with one of those the other day. No-where to keep a can of Rio. Nowhere.

It was costing him £400 a month on tick. Four hundred. A month.

Hope the Royal Navy finally get round to giving me an interview; I pass it and get offered a commission.

 

If there's time get the GP100 MOTd and sell it to clear out my garage. Then buy some tragic eighties tin for a few hundred. Maybe another Mk4 Escort, CVH propelled Fiesta or something equally unlikely such as a second phase Prelude.

Don't forget to spec the rimz and bodykit but not spend a penny on the interior.

 

 

Make sure to get a silver one

You could probably get a brand new VAG diesel for fuck all if you buy yourself a cheap suit, get a new job and sell the highest amount of paperclips and staplers for that month.

This will of course neccessitate attempting a new land speed record on the M6 in the snow when the streetlights have packed up.

Sell the Florian, or swap it for something smaller & some euros/pounds I guess... more on this story later.

Decide what I'm doing with the MG Metro

 

Option 1 - Sell it

Option 2 - Plod on as is (work will be required)

Option 3 (the one I favour) - Full body restoration and engine rebuild. Baring in mind ive only ever swapped a few panels and an engine on a car (with help), it'll be a learning curve. I also have a vision of how it should be thats horning me up 8)
