What a cracking day!

What a lovely day to take the car out today... Got through a full tank of fuel, which I cant recall doing before! Took 5 mates out for a blast. Got a ranting complaint from one of my mates neighbours - apparently I must have Asperges syndrome to be so self-centred and obnoxious, making too much noise and driving through the village at speed - despite the fact that I never sped, and the petrol mower next door was far noisier! I welcomed her offer of calling the police to tell them all about me/my car - I even offered a photo for her/them if it helped! I missed a trick when I forgot to invite her out for a drive!

The car seems to be running really well - pulling strongly from as little as 2000rpm, with a lot of blurring of the scenery as the revs head up towards the redline! I love my car!

Have you got a pic of her? Maybe we could complain to police how offensively ugly she is?

Must be bigger than the Vindicator he took 5 mates out in it

My car is certainly no looker unless you like the battle ship grey look!



Sadly I don't have a photo of the woman in question, but a quick Google turned up something that looks like her in her more attractive years. I'll let you decide which one...

I did about the same, picked it up with the son (in his Disney Cars racing suit that santa bought him) this morning and brought it down my house to the newly laid drive

Changed the oil, managed to spill at least 99% of it on the newly laid drive

Washed it - and the drive

Oiled and greased it - and the drive

Washed the drive again

Then took it the long way back to the garage and picked up a mate along the way who hadn't been out in it yet. It was nice to go for a blatt, no complaints but I did get the obligatory "so it's an atom copy" comment from some blokes


I've just got to work out now why my grease gun sprays grease mist at least 5 foot when I use it, and why on earth I use bright red grease, actually I know why the grease is red, it was free

Tell her to belt up or you'll call the ugly police!

And here I went around apologising to all my neighbours, and they all said "we don't know what you're talking about; nice car! About time you had it out after all your work"

Don't let those people get you down. There's always one around.

But don't play with the call-the-police risk, if they do you'll get a warning and can have your car seized and crushed on second offence, none of which actually requires any evidence of an offence.
