Re: That awful colour MGB GT

I've had the SLK for nigh on 7 years now! That really surprised me when I thought about it. I keep thinking about flogging it but there is fuck all about that I fancy (Jag XKR rag top maybe) and my desire for a 55 has waned after I learned about AMG suspension!

Re: Two wheels good.

Obviously, not a bike (as I ain't got one... sob!) but I have a space under the kitchen counter full of bits for the cars, I even have a complete set of clocks for the SLK (it used to have a 'pink shrimp' but I cured it without the need for the new clocks) spare wipers for the Jag (odd size fucker) ...

Re: What did you do today?

10 Paracetamol day today. Sunshine for a change and it was hot outside so I took Bella out early(ish) and when we got home, I decided to polish the Merc as it's not been done in a year, well, not with Autoglym. I left the stereo on and the roof was down so Pink Floyd (no Oink!) blaring away. Natural...

Re: What did you do today?

Today oh dear and learned readers, I did a thing. I polished the Jag, with Autoglym no less. I managed to do all the car (apart from the roof) while sat on the floor though I did have to prop myself up to do the bonnet/boot. It was 6 Paracetamol job though and the pain is delightful right now. I the...

Re: What did you do today?

Hold the front page! I did another 'thing', there is a tiny ripple in the leather door pocket on the driver's side door, I removed it (only broke one bit, good going for me) completely, took it indoors and re-glued the errant bit, much to my surprise, it worked perfectly. Fitting WAS the reverse of ...

Re: EBay Finds

I owned a Yamaha GTS for a while. I was always intrigued by them and the whole 'hub centre steering' thing. It was dull. It felt exactly like a normal bike at anything above walking pace and the detuned engine pissed me off. I have pictures if anyone cares enough to see them. The front brake though ...

Re: What did you do today?

Decided I was fed-up of driving the Merc so swapped cars. Whoop! But I did do a 'thing', I bought another bottle of leather dye, this time from the 'Scratch Doctor/Clinic' and went out and tried a dab... It only bloody matches the sodding cars leather, perfectly! What started out as a tiny bit of cr...
