breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Talking of desirable residences created from retired hearses, I like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk-3-1991-Fo ... SwQN5aWLil
I like its price less than I like the vehicle, but that must be a typo.. I'd have it at £750! Or would if I fell out with my lovely neighbours. :lol:

Sorry, it must have stuck in my mind after seeing your reference to it, yet I had forgotten. :oops: Once I hit 53, my memory went west I'm afraid. :(
I don't know how I'd get anywhere near to GHT's house, I think that the court order is still active and the police would surely come... :lol:

Uh-oh! Rich, you bad man! Would you have me spend money on more automobile-related paraphernalia that I probably don't need, but one of these would potentially enable me (finally!) to destroy the sis-in-law beast's "Wicked Willy" mug and provide her with a most acceptable replacement from which to drink her Horlicks on her (decreasingly frequent :D ) vists to my place.
I would choose this one for her:

And this for me:

It changes from plain black to the WD40 livery when filled with hot liquid, so maybe she could have that one too, full of actual boiling WD40 ideally!
:twisted:

:lol:
It tastes a lot like being kissed by a slobbery dog that's only just finished a long motorcycle ride, but believe me when I say that WD40 has more right to call itself a refreshing beverage than to call itself a penetrating fluid!

Please fellow forum folk, do not drink WD40, it's probably not a good idea and my earlier description of the taste is based on {accidental) experience. I would, however, give H some as a joke, because she once had me drinking something far less pleasant without realising what it was. Let us just say that she told me it was out of date Lucozade**..
:sick:

But I actually found you another breakdown vehicle and it's a wee belter too, none of that rusty Transit nonsense here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PHOTO-THAMES ... SwO9JZ6wpl
Only problem that I'm seeing there is that buying a photo of something is probably less logical than taking a photo of it for yourself. :?

**- It was in fact out of date DIET Lucozade, an altogether more sinister substance than the sugary original type.
