What have you done today thread?

[Mr. Dazzle]

So it is...remarkable that they manage to make something even smaller than the Aygo!

Edit: And even more remarkable they got a V8 in one . Just remembered this...

Taught 4 x 19 year olds to ride

Went to a MX track away from civilisation.

Pen's nephew is here with 4 mates.

I'd already taught him over the years, so upgraded him to the GASGAS.
His mates were keen so showed each how to ride Pen's little 125.

All were really excited and I graduated & eased them over some dirt hills and tricky bits.

Uncle Yorick is Top Dog today

All in pool now and they're doing very well keeping me in cold beer

Looks slow but felt bloody fast. Little jump at the end

That looks proper fun! Nice one!

The full circuit is more fun, but hard to film

Is that one that you and your buddies have marked out, or is it a recognised track/play area?

It's been there for years. There's a few on the island.

I'm not much of a fan of Spanish islands but that looks brilliant.

Got wet this morning. We've had a thunderstorm from 4am this morning to about 11am - full on thunder and lightening and hail or rain!! It rumbled for a bit longer but seems to have cleared now.

I don't have a rain coat here, so I put on what I thought was a waterproof cycling jacket - it isn't!!

I also wore a cap for the first time today and my boss has now given me a work cap! (I had a straw hat to protect the back of my neck as well for the sun. Now I have a cap )


Here's hoping that the rain stays away this afternoon - it's been bloody cold! (Taking a warmer coat with me for later! LOL)

I’d better have a look under our Yaris, I’ve notice a squeek coming from the rear on right handers.

They sell those clown cars here, so that means loads of rust free used parts.

Former B-i-L's clown car, I think it's a Yaris?:

Not much in the way of crumple zones! Do they have an ncap rating?

[MingtheMerciless]

Spent 90 mins scraping congealed tubeless sealant off my road bike rims in preparation for going back to inner tubes and Conti Gatorskins.

Also walked the dogs in the rain (one of them thinks she's a witch as you'd think it was raining acid on her).

Aren't NCAP ratings just relative to similar cars, so that's meaningless unless you are comparing it with a BMW C1?

Asked around with a few old friends if they wanted to resurrect our old Christmas meal with all our partners. Everyone was, 'Yeah! Let's do it! Like old times!'

So I start looking at restaurants central to all of us, email out, sift through the menus. Settle on one restaurant, message out on the Whatapp with that info, plus that they need a tenner a head deposit.

Suddenly a load of people go from a 'YES!!!' to a 'well, maybe, but if the cat needs worming...'


Jeez...like herding fucking cats.

[Demannu]

Sweated ones cahoonies off this aftie.
Fitted a solid tyre to the front of the leccy scooter. Watched the YouTube vid, looks easy enough I thought!
How fucking wrong could I be!
The neighbours' builders came around because they thought someone was trying to kill a bull or something!
Beat the bastard thing into submission eventually. Might be a bit more careful with the throttle in future.

Finally got round to cleaning out the pit of vileness that is (was) my parts washer. I must have last used it about 2 years ago and the Jizer from that event (and all the grease and shite it removed from the parts) was still where I left it. Drained off the ancient Jizer, screwed the drain plug back in and was faced with a black tar-like substance on the bottom of the tank. So I mixed up 7 or 8 litres of very hot water with liberal amounts of washing powder added, threw it in the tank and brushed the shit out of it. What a truly disgusting mixture that produced.

Drained the primeval soup and chucked it down the drain, then repeated the process. This time I could almost see through the liquid, so that was progress. Finished off with lashings of hot water and I think I now have a parts washer again.

Note to self - next time you use the damn thing, don't be a lazy cnut and clean up after yourself...

If the scoring is by severity of injuries, then comparisons between any vehicle is possible.

They are the crumple zone - for the cars in front and behind.
