General FucT FIAT Sucata Run Uno

[Ucof]

Im still not sure what I think of bad boy lights.
I've seen them on Unos and Transits, and haven't been able to make my mind up.

I think I like the look, but the look is chosen by chavs, and I don't want to be a chav.

Still, looks good on your all black number

YuP
I'd be the first to admit it
EyeLids are CHAVy
BUT
its only insulation tape on mine
and when I get BoReD of it . . . . which I will do quite quickly......I've remove it

Already got the next MaD idea in mind..........

Though thought FISHNETs would match the GRiLLaGe better....

Getting a Mk5 Golf?

Go for cargo netting, that was popular when the original rat look started back in the late 80's

And eyebrows on headlights = CHAV!

Oh I know they are CHAV


ALready BoRED of them

So Next
I'm going to go down this route
Fly Eyes Vinyl


AND during boredom of driving today I was trying to get myself on the right track...LoL

BUT the TRACK of the Uno was not QUITE wide enough for the TRACKS

 

[alexGS]

Did it handle like it was on rails?

[jo0lz]

YEAH
........just like it was about to FALL oFF THeM!!!


[hence why I didn't go t0!0 far down THAT WRoNG track....]

:doh:

Alex, that's a terrible pun...

 

[Ucof]

There was a pun there?!?!?

Are you sure?

:chin:



:rumour:


I guess it can be seen as a PUN !?


BUT Samuel Johnson disparagingly referred to punning as "the lowest form of humour". :shakehead:

Though we won't hold that against our mate Alex :hug:

 

[Ucof]

Im sure Mr Dictionary said sarcasm was the lowest form of humour.
Or was that imitation he was talking about?!?!

 

[jo0lz]

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit only to those who have never mastered the art, and those who always fall victim to it.

Hmmmm
Or alternatively I found this one

I tend to think that wit is the highest form of sarcasm.

Or actually I LIKE this one

........it requires very little brain power to be sarcastic! puns or other 'true' jokes for example, actually need some sort of a sense of humour, intelligence and/or wit.

 

[alexGS]

Are you sure?

I agree with you uCof - it wasn't a pun so much as the chance to apply a cliche (and yes, the 'e' needs the little accent-mark that my USA keyboard doesn't easily provide)

Road testers (motoring journalists) had a tonne of over-used phrases in the 70s and 80s... which included:
..."cornering as if on rails"
..."dab of opposite lock"
..."pulls strongly and cleanly"
..."steering weights up nicely in corners"
..."high levels of tyre adhesion"
and so on, many more that I can't remember right now.

I think a pun is more when you manage to make one phrase sound like another. E.g. "have you got a radiator for a FIAT Uno?" "Ooooh no, we've never had them."

Thanks for clarifying (I never knew what Gr stood for), but in NZ we have US keyboards - no Alt Gr key. The right Alt key does the same as the left Alt key for us. We also have @ on the 2 key and the " on the ' key, no pound sign, etc.

In which case, I present you with these easy cut and paste characters for future reference:

THREAD BACK ON COURSE

THOUGH things have gone a little "Pete Tong" with the car

WeLL
TRied the £30 set of X1/9 'Gran Finale' OZ Route alloys on FucT-FiaT this afternoon
Can only permanently fit two cos of punctures in the other two at the moment
So put them on the back
NoT SuRe I like them . . . . :shakehead:
They look scabby cos of flaking lacquer, corrosion and brake dust
[which is kinda GooD.....2 ME!?]
BUT I feel they look too shiny for the whole look of the CaR
Thinking they will have to be matt black like the X1/9 Cromodoras that were on it . . . :chin:
BUT will post some pics up tomorrow so you can see what I mean
[feel free to offer comments]

I also washed the car
First time in 4 months
BIG MISTAKE!
BLooDy paintwork just looks too good now [2 ME!?] :bang:
AND because I used thinnners and meths to get remnants of glue off some of those distressed areas where the vinyls where it has kinda lost its definition/patina
SO just going to have to wash it again
and "aTTaCK" it with a kitchen scourer to flat it back to a more 'aged' effect

 

[Ucof]

Moral of the story - never wash your car!



Told you petrol was better
