KopTalk.com Forums Growlers things that make you happy thread!

I always liked the RS1600 Escorts and the first of the RS Turbos. Proper expensive now though!

I know you're a Ford man but I saw a lovely old Opel Kadet earlier. Unfortunately I don't have a drive so I've no room for s play thing.

In fairness Wilk', I love most old cars.
Everything was recognisable, even if many did rot and fall apart before your eyes,

Anything from the halcyon days when things were a great deal calmer, fuel at 50-60p a litre, good music, out on the lash every night with good friends, nowt much to ittitate me, LFC flying high,more tolerant and polite society, the list goes on and on and on..... ahhhhhhh, bliss.

Virtually everything I've just said is opposite now very sadly.
I could weep.

Guess I just love living in the past, as it makes me feel good inside.

...even walking in the hills has lost some of its appeal now.
Everywhere is a bloody tourist attraction, with extortionate pay and bass turd display, hills alive with the sound of bloody fair weather day trippers.

This is a things that make you happy thread do cheer the hell up

I get carried away, soz.
Rants come SO easy!

Happy, as I'm off to Tatton Park in Cheshire shortly to a yet another classic car show.
Not showing this week.That comes next week and for the two weekends after too, before Festa gets put into hibernation and sorn'd.

We all need a good rant now and then! I do find I'm ranting more the older I get though

Anyway, had a good ride on the trusty MTB over at Cannock Chase yesterday. I love it to bits but don't get to go too often now.

Some totally gorgeous cars there today Wilk's.

Unfortunately, I started feeling lead legged and sleepy, stumbling around like a drunktard after half am hour or so.
Stopped and went for a nosebag in the woods and felt a bit better, but it started again after half an hour, so came home early.
Embarrassing, but probably summat to do with all these poxy tabs I'm on now after this ticker trouble 3 months ago.
Quacks tomorrow to get them changed hopefully, as I cannot stand feeling like this when I've paid a lot of money to enjoy myself.

Either get me mended or bump me off.

I feel for you old boy. Can't be easy. I know how the father in law gets on his pill (he's bipolar so a bit different). He's in bed by 7:30 most nights.

I refuse to be defeated.

I'm piggin' buzzin' now after feeling sh1t for half the day.

Got to eb the tabs, I'm convinced of it.


I have massive hills and mountain climbs planned too.

Bi polar you say Wilky lad?

That is grim.
How's his missus and your missus cope?

My eldest son went out with a girl a few years ago that had that.
Possibly the worst experience of his life.
I banned her from Growler Towers she was that bad.
