Panda (Classic) Rarer than a 599 GTO.

Oh him!

It was the 'Herbie is due to see him in a few months' that threw me. He's going back!

:nutter: :doh::spin:Ahhhh:shakehead::nono::bang:

It's not only Herbie that's gone bananas

MOT in a couple of weeks. :slayer:
Bottom ball joint/steering related issue. Sills rotten... a year after they were welded. Floor rotten and a sidelight bulb out.
Thats just off the top of my head.




In crummy tyre news, picked a friend up. Did the usual roundabout understeer.
Her response was "Drive slower then"

 

[panda panda]

I'll go halves with you on a wax-oil kit, really must do fizzles sills etc.

It would seem your friend has a point

How fast are you going round said roundabouts?

 

[panda panda]

It's not the speed, it's just that "up north" the roads are covered in lard.

That's why so many Northerners can be seen sprawled out on the roads at three in the morning, trying to get their daily fix.

You live on t'wrong side o' t'Pennines, me lad. In Lankyshire, it's beef dripping, tha knows.

This made me laugh uncontrollably for a notable amount of time

I always thought it was due to the Tennents Super, so thanks for clearing up my misapprehension

Old tyres I used to do the roundabout near work at 30MPH, now its 25 or less. :yuck:

 

[Dragon Man]

if ever you get a chance to try 175's do it.... 40mph.. on roundabouts.. body roll is the only thing that really stops you now.. Talon is a monster with those tyres on. his "Talons" grip well.

drove Alex's 420's marbella around a local car park and cant believe how bad the under steer is on 135 tyres >_<

drove Alex's @420's marbella around a local car park and cant believe how FUN the under steer is on 135 tyres >_<

Corrected for you

The car stinks of coffee...

 

[Aston Martin]

He's 20 years old today. (Registered on this day.) :slayer:


As a birthday treat, he just rolled over to 115,000 miles.

Hmmmmm, so I could only find 2011's mot certificate which ran out 9th Sept 2012.
Last year's ticket is nowhere to be found, which isn't a bad thing. I assumed it must run out this week. After going on dvla website, it runs out the 7th of November.

Why are you ? If you look around post 527 it took your wonderful ( ) garage 5 weeks to MOT it & you didn't get it back until mid- November when it had been Mot'd for a few days.

You probably didn't lose the certificate - the "mechanic" just hasn't got round to printing it for you yet!!

I definitely got a ticket and I thought it was later, but just assumed off the old ticket it was something around this time.

MOT runs out today and I didn't book it in.

He's booked in for Tuesday...









... in a different garage.

 

[panda panda]

Have you had the "new" doors fitted yet?

Glad you're using a different garage, GLWTMOT etc.

Twizzle's "free" MOT (included with the sale last year) cost me £175

 

[the stig/130]

Is he called Mark per chance? All 'legendary' mechanics usually are!!

or dave

 

[Alixcompo]

I was at my local garage and casually asked when my Mot was due...


6 months ago wasn't the answer I wanted to hear:bang:
