I can remember when I had a subwoofer the size of a full size car tyre in the boot of my car, and mags, big mags , way to big for the car mags  , and spoilers ,and enough spotlights to light a small city ,,, I cringe when i look back now
 
"and enough spotlights to light a small city"

I recall a 2CV I saw on the web years ago that had about 20 or 30 spotlights fitted to the front.... :P
 
Oh, here we go, 30 additional lights fitted on a 2CV6... :P

(and no, I don't know why he did it, he just "did")



 
Vorwerk 136 System

Hey Guys,

As my Vorkerk 136 got mentioned yesterday I thought I would upload a pic of my system.

I use this as my daily vacuum for quick pickups round the house. Mainly because its so light. Also, as I have the Polilux PL515 head its great for my quarry tiles in my kitchen.

Cheers,

Dickie. :o)

I really hope you don't drive around in that 800 with the fog lamps on all the time! That is one of my pet hates for drivers. It is mostly BMW drivers that do that.
 
It seems to be the way to go, Mr Murray. I can't say I like it either. What did make me chuckle was when I went on a coach trip recently to an out of town shopping centre with some of the other residents in my building. A small car roared straight past us, and when I say roar do I mean roar, with two young gentlemen in the front seats looking mighty pleased with themselves. I do think they possibly thought they were a sight to behold. In contrast, the message they sent out was somewhat in contradiction to the image I expect they hoped to portray, and the lady in front of me, one of our younger members, muttered "What a pair of" and used a term which I can't print here, other than to say we all own one. At least I hope we all do. I did chuckle.

The funniest part came though when they got stuck behind a car in the lane to our right, who wanted to do a right turn and was holding the traffic back until such time they could do so. It reminded me of a time when I saw a car which was so badly designed that it was almost sitting on the road as it was so low, making it impossible for the driver to get over a speed bump he'd come up against. I did pity that driver, especially when a group of young ladies in short skirts walked past and pointed at him and laughed.
 
I'm sure I can think of a few guesses as to what she said about them!

Just today we were out and a blue Citroén Saxo (it could only be that though, eh ?) which was almost scraping the ground, had those inane bumpers that protruded from the sides and the tyres were so "low profile" that they probably only held 1 PSI at the maximum flew past. Well, sped to be specific. If it did fly I may have shown some interest.

As I expected, at the wheel was a lad who looked just out of short trousers, with sun glasses on (it was raining) and listening to "boom boom" music, as I call it.

Needless to say I was glad to be in the Ford Fiesta with Roy Orbison in the cassette player.

The youth of today, it never ceases to amaze me.

I may be 16 myself, but I have very different views to most people my age.
 
As a side note, in the UK some people with certain disabilities can be issued with driving licences at 16... :)

I have the same opinion of chavs in their junkbox cars scraping along the ground, I'd rather see the cars go through a crusher than allow them on the roads, it gives a bad name to genuinely good young drivers, and pushes up insurance costs cos of them wrapping their scrapmobiles round lampposts doing handbrake turns expecting girls knickers to fall down in awe...

Sadly I don't drive, can't afford to, fingers crossed for winning the Euromillions idiot tax tonight though... :P
 
"Sadly I don't drive, can't afford to, fingers crossed for winning the Euromillions idiot tax tonight though... :P" I'll be rooting for you, ha ha!
 
"As a side note, in the UK some people with certain disabilities can be issued with driving licences at 16... :)" Where can I get such a disability!?
 
My 800 is lowered slightly and certain speed humps can be a problem. I didn't do it to look chavy though, I did it too improve the handling, it's been stiffened up all round. And also the fact that with the standard suspension the nose pointed up in the air, especially under acceleration

But no I don't use my fog lights unless its foggy or visibility is poor. It's actually illegal to do so when visibility isn't poor and that would a bit hypocritical in my line of work ;)
 
"2CV, sir, you are a hard act to follow. You have wit, I

Bombardier beer helps... :P

At least it does for me, then again Hobgoblin beer works too... :D
 
"2CV, sir, you are a hard act to follow. You have wit, I will say that much." He was taught by the best - My good self. Weren't you David *wink wink*.
 
"It's actually illegal to do so when visibility isn't poor and that would a bit hypocritical in my line of work ;)" Of course, you're a post man! I knew you'd give it away in the end :)
 
"Bombardier beer helps... :P

At least it does for me, then again Hobgoblin beer works too... :D" Perhaps if you switched to Tesco Value lagers for 80p per pack you'd be able to drive!

OK, they are basically flavoured tap water, but there is a teeny tiny bit of alcohol...
 
"Perhaps if you switched to Tesco Value lagers for 80p p

Tesco Value Lager?? I wouldn't even use that nasty stuff to flush the toilet... :P

I like proper beer me, none of that piddlewater for me thanks... :P
 
"Tesco Value Lager?? I wouldn't even use that nasty stuff to flush the toilet... :P" If you lived in my house and that was the only alcoholic drink available - YOU'D DRINK IT! Ha ha.
 
"lol I feel like a post man sometimes, I probably walk as far" Yeah, with all the cuts in jobs it is only a matter of time before they combine policing and postage!

Post this letter, catch that criminal, deliver this parcel, stop that drink driver etc...

Of course, there would be perks, like swiping a parcel when there was a Vacuum Cleaner inside! Ha ha.
 
Probably best!

If you don't mind mentioning on here, what "rank" (I believe that is the term) of Police Officer are you ? I'm purely interested, that is all.
 
constable lol bog standard beat bobby. wouldn't change it for the world. best job ever. got no interest in promotion because I don't want to be stuck behind a desk
 
"YOU'D DRINK IT! Ha ha. "

I'd rather drink the dirty water out of a Rainbow vacuum's basin... :P

Or just do without alcohol, which I probably will have to next week cos I'll be poor thanks to bills that need paying... :(

Ah well, must start brewing my own sometime.... :P
