What's made you smile today?

It was Carismas Cerbera, nothing to do a speed 12.

It did exist at least up until recently seem to remember Tavarish did a car trek in it.

It was exactly as bad as you'd expect for 00s show car. I.e. everything you couldn't see was done with sticky tape and it barely ran.
Yep found it on a webpage the other night but forgot to come back and update here, seems it was a max power cover car. That explains the terrible wheels
 
Dinner is beans on toast.
That would do nicely. I love Beans but dont oftern get to eat them. Actually Jacket spuds with Oak smoked dry cured bacon. Daughter decided to treat me. Its such a pleasure to have bacon that comes out of the pan the same size adn weight it went in. Trouble is I could eat this by the van load. Taken One piece is equivalent to two or thre supermarket rashers thats not good for the waist line.

It’s probably a whole lot better for you as it’s not pumped full of ****
 
Yes, but what about all the goodness in the E numbers.....LOL
I never believed all the stuff about E numbers, but when my children were young I took them across the road to a greasy spoon cafe, within 30 minutes of drinking the cheap orange and black current squash they were climbing on the tables and being a right pain in the ass.
I would never claim my children were perfectly behaved when they were young, but that was like someone flicking a switch!

If we have a Chinese take away my 2 year old response in a similar way, it’s like someone has turned up the voltage.
I’m guessing there are a lot of E numbers in Chinese take away that he never normally comes into contact with.

To be fair to e numbers, the vast majority are natural ingredients, they’re given e numbers as a reflection of chemistry, not syntheticness…it’s high sugars, salts, msg, artificial colourings, preservatives and sweetners that are bad for you
 
This comment in response to an Austin alegro made me laugh

I stay off Chinese Takeaway food as it gives me a sore throat like a night drinking too much and smoking fags (long memory;) )
My sister can make a good Chinese meal without that effect as it is due to the "flavour enhancer" MSG that takeaways always seem to use.
I used to love a good Indian meal, but again it seems if you order a takeaway, it doesn't matter which curry dish , it usually arrives the same pink slop from various outlets.
I am sure none of the people from those Countries would eat that muck so why do suppliers think we will??? :mad:
 
I decided to do something productive as I was thinking the clutch cables & quadrants are quite prone for breaking on the old Cento's so I decided to pull the carpet & get in there to get the silly unnecessary shield that covers the linkage as my thinking was if I ever need to change either the cable or the quadrant at the side of the road I want to be able to get in there & change it quick without having to dismantle fiddly bits that don't need to be there & I can see why people leave the sheild off as it's a right pain to get to the top screw especially as my hands are not small 😂, so it's now removed from the car & access is a lot easier without the shield there, also I can keep a close eye on both the cable & quadrant which looks fairly new so the previous owner must of changed it. My new rear gearbox mount turned up this morning so that'll be getting done Monday morning.

I've long since given up on Chinese or Indian takeaways. Maybe i should buy some MSG.
