But then I get so busy catching up with the thread that I don't get anything done

I know the feeling.... especially during the contest months!

I've been shocked, more than once, from a spark plug. And that in itself is a sufficient deterrent to peeing on an electric fence.

Ever chopped Carolina Reapers - and then had a pee? I've been told that it's rather unpleasant.

I've also been told that filling your bathtub with cold water to cool things down might sound like a good idea. But it isn't. You just let the capsaicin spread with the water a few inches further back.

Or so I've been told.

And while you are chatting with her, she owes me 5 quid....

Always the same excuse, eh? "We don't usually carry our own money...". But then, I guess carrying £300,000,000 around would be rather cumbersome.

[bertwert]

We are saying the same thing...we are both talking about the little guy on the right

I think the one in the photo I shared was a CJ3, here's another illustration with a CJ2 (which has a lower hood):

Someone was mentioning car sizes...
To illustrate that they all grow the newer model they are:

Mini:


Jeep:



(In both above cases, I choose the vehicle on the right)

And the Cinquecento:

Nah, not me, but I did miss his smart ass

Thanks! When I sit on it I get smart all over.

That's Dad's Jeep when he was working for a geo-physical survey team in northern Alberta. Any idea which one it is? Dad is sitting 2nd from the right

Yup, you learn how wide your vehicle is and where all the tires are. Sometimes it can be critical to have a tire roll over an exact spot....

Or to not roll over it

Ran to Aldi, first time driving my truck since the rain and open window incident.
What I want to know is which one of you guys hid a dead carp inside it, and where?

I partially swamped my Civic in river water (short story, backed boat in too far and opened the door....whooosh). It smelled horrible for a year afterwards

But now I'm through. Time to go through some images now.

Bacon!

Either a CJ2a or CJ3a, the first one I shared was actually a CJ3b (taller hood for a new engine).

Thanks for that, something for me to look forward to.

Is he a Lisbon taxi driver? I remember a trip there quite like that

When Dad worked for ICAO he had a meeting in Brussels. His tale of the harrowing and dangerously fast cab ride through narrow cobblestone streets in a large Mercedes taxi was quite entertaining.

She said to thank you "for services rendered" and "we weren't impressed but at least we were amused"

I hope you were your usual humble self
