What's made you smile today?

Two things!
1 My GEM breakdown cover renewal came today. Thank heavens for a company that is NOT a money grabber. The premium is the same as the last 3 or 4 years. Its so refreshing I shall not even think about it. I shall just renew.
2 My favourite car accessory . This stuff really works.

YeeHaa. I'm wearing jeans instead of sweatpants or shorts for the first time in 6 weeks. I almost feel normal. Almost.

Im 14 month post kidney op and still wearing jogger pants. I managed a day in trousers on Sunday so I know how you feel. Well done lol

RAIN!

I love it. We really need a nice drop of rain! It was resembling the gobi desert after being dry for two days??

The Fiat Forum discount code for Shop4Parts. And indeed shop for parts. Much quicker and easier that going to Norwich to the dealers. Thank heavens for them.

I was able to score this years' one new Duro HF307 tire for the Ural. I replace the most worn tire every year, which is usually the spare. The new tire ends up as the pusher, the old pusher tire goes on the sidecar, and the sidecar tire becomes the spare. The front...well, it's a disk brake wheel and not interchangeable with the rears, which are drums, and wears differently from the rest. I will usually just break the tire down from the rim and rotate it 180 to run the other direction.

What really made me smile is that in 22 and 23, getting the new tire was like pulling teeth and, if I could find it, it was $25 more than now. In 22, I had to substitute a Kenda, that was slightly smaller in OD with a more aggressive tread. It barely lasted 1000 miles.

What a sad end to the story. Incredible what can be seen in the big apple.

All the sadder knowing that they knowingly left safety features off the plane to save costs…and, like that RAF Charlie 130 that was downed in Afghanistan, if the tanks were filled with foam, both aircraft would have survived.
However, there was a lot of pressure from other airline manufacturers, notably Boeing, like with the Comet, things can be put right but they adversely marketed against a competitor. The irony now is that Boeing is actively’bricking itself’ with all its recent disasters

Looking forward to spending my weekend not looking at crap cars..

Victory....

It's not immaculate but close enough for who it's for...and even still under manufacturer warranty as previous owner kept servicing it at the dealer.

Toyota, perfect for a man in his 70s

At least with this one it will probably out last him so you need never trawl around looking for its replacement ever again

How dare you call out my motives like that...

If only Pandas could fly..... we could avoid the problems.

Half an hour before bedtime, no point in engaging in anything special on the telly, found an old episode of 'Bread'. Some of us will remember that.
Entertaining for half an hour, no reason to search out another.

The real point, was one of the adverts. One of these online bingo organisations, called "Luckycow".
Made me laugh out loud.
Are they deliberately taking the p*** out of their expected demographic, or did they really just miss that? Will it attract any customers, and if it does, will they see the funny side of that, or miss the point? Will those who see it, stay away.

Perfect if you’re a boy racer in your 70s

Erm...what about the GRMN..

For the boy racer in his 70s who thinks it's still the 1980s?


I actually quite like these..but I can't give a good reason.

It's the only toytoa I've wanted in years. How they can go from the celica and supra of the past to the cars of the last 20 years is beyond confusing, it's like every car screams dull
