Manky Monkey Motors

The cherry red 32 roadster was a worthy show winner, but I particularly liked this little ruff rod. Just what I'm thinking of doing.. (And yes Yoda, two-grands-worth of camera equipment in my bag and I had to take this snap on my phone!!)(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/wizzkitt/ruffrod.jpg)

My piccie's betterer than yours!  :P

You'll be queueing up in Boots in the morning then? Or in sensible shoes? I managed to get home without deleting half me piccies this time. Only took 117 though.

what are these rolls of which you speak - she is a witch burn her
Villager: We have found a witch, may we burn her?
Crowd: BURN!! BUUUURN HER!
Bedevere: But how do you *know* she is a witch?
Villager: She looks like one!
Other Villagers: Yeah!  She looks like one!!!
Bedevere: Bring her forward.
 
(a young woman is pushed through the crowd of villagers to the platform.  She
 is dressed all in black, has a carrot tied around her face on top of her nose,
 and a black paper hat on her head.  She talks funny because her nose is
 closed by the carrot.)
 
Witch: I'm not a witch, I'm not a witch!
Bedevere: Er,...but you are dressed as one.
Witch: THEY dressed me up like this.
Villagers: No! nooo!  We didn't!  We didn't!
Witch: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one!
 
(Bedevere lifts up the carrot to reveal the woman's real nose, which is in
 fact rather small.)
 
Bedevere: Well?
One Villager: Well, we did do the nose.
Bedevere: The nose?
Villager: And the Hat.  But she's a witch!
Villagers: Yeah! Burn her! Burn! Burn her!
Bedevere: Did you dress her up like this?
Villagers: NO! No, no, no, no, no, no...
One Villager: yes.
Villagers: yes. yes. yes.  A bit. yes. a bit. a bit.
Another Villager: (hopefully) She has got a wart...
Bedevere: What makes you think she is a witch?
Villager: Well, She turned me into a newt!!
 
(pause)
 
Bedevere: a newt?
 
(long pause)
 
Villager: I got better...
Villagers: BURN HER anyway! BURN! BURN! BURN HER!
Bedevere: Quiet, quiet, quiet, QUIETA  There are ways of *telling* whether she
   is a witch!
Villagers: Are there?  What?  Tell us, then!  Tell us!
Bedevere: Tell me.  What do you do with witches?
V: BUUUURN!!!!! BUUUUUURRRRNN!!!!!  You BURN them!!!!  BURN!!
Bedevere: And what do you burn apart from witches?
Villager: More Witches!
Other Villager: Wood.
Bedevere: So.  Why do witches burn?
 
(long silence)
(shuffling of feet by the villagers)
 
Villager: (tentatively) Because they're made of.....wood?
Bedevere: Goooood!
Other Villagers:  oh yeah... oh....
Bedevere: So.  How do we tell whether she is made of wood?
One Villager: Build a bridge out of 'er!
Bedevere: Aah.  But can you not also make bridges out of stone?
Villagers: oh yeah. oh.  umm...
Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
One Villager: No! No, no, it floats!
Other Villager: Throw her into the pond!
Villagers: yaaaaaa!
 
(when order is restored)
 
Bedevere: What also floats in water?
Villager: Bread!
Another Villager: Apples!
Another Villager: Uh...very small rocks!
Another Villager: Cider!
Another Villager: Uh...great gravy!
Another Villager: Cherries!
Another Villager: Mud!
Another Villager: Churches! Churches!
Another Villager: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck!
Villagers: (in amazement) ooooooh!
Bedevere: exACTly!
Bedevere: (to a villager) So, *logically*...
Villager: (very slowly, with pauses between each word)
          If...she...weighs the same as a duck......she's made of wood.
Bedevere: and therefore...
 
(pause)
 
Villager: A Witch!
All Villagers: A WITCH!
 
 
(they do consequently weigh her across from a duck on Bedevere's largest
 scale, and she does indeed weigh the same as the duck.)
     

You've got WAY too much free time on your hands mate!

A proper "Rufff" rod.

How about this one? Was this the custom show winner?

.

Think this was my favourite of the show cars. Love the metalflake green roof & pinstripes.

.

Favouritest race car. Ultra mean looking Ford Pop.

.

Satin black '32 coupe was pretty cool.

Or this slammed, chopped & supercharged Consul. Or...Or...Or... I want them all!

Which Beetle? There were so many! This is the way to go with your old Standard Wizzy. You know it makes sense. perfect for the weekly shopping run.

Was that these two? Shame they were on a trailer by the time I got there so couldn't get a decent shot. Would imagine they'll be at the Rod & Chop show?

I'll be at Doro & Kris' shop opening lunchtime, Saturday the 17th, then on to the Rod & Chop show, staying to see the bands in the evening, then the Hot Rod Drags on the Sunday. You?

i am going to be at Kris and Doros opening, so where is this show??

Yoda

Will scribble a few words of explanation tomorrow, but a small unexpected crisis meant Rainbow & I only spent an hour or so at the Nats today. Had to run round the cars feverishly snapping anything that moved! Shame cos there were some cracking shots to be had if I'd had more time.  

twickenham, wheres that then? didnt they have some lady run round with here breaticles hanging out round there? ;D

i have done it

i am doing reports for sex addicts weekly, for which i must write indepth reports with realistic photos ::) ;D

who said it was mine, i think monkey owns it  ;D  ;D

You two are NOTHING to do with me!

well all he needs to do is log in with his ip address and - ohh i see a problem here ;D ;D ;D

yoda

oh dear he will talk about welding and stuff and really wooosh me in a minute ;D

I'd give you a damn good whooshing, but you'd only enjoy it. Off to beddy-bies in a minute folks
-that's not an invitation by the way.

How did I know you'd say that?! G'night loonies.

wow is that a new porno movie :-)

That's it! I'm outta here! G'night all.

Gnight Jon Boy

you lot are corrupting me ive actually seen cars on here that i like :o ;)

Nothing but the best here! You going to the Rod & Chop show in Twickenham on the 17th September? Or the HotRod Drags at Avon Park on the 17 & 18th? Both good dos. Both will have plenty of decent motors to whet your appetite.

you moving on ? the mag will collapse without you!!

I got my copy of Classic Van & Pick-Up in the post today. Bought it online specifically to enter this month's competition to win a Moggy Minor pick up. Turns out you have to collect two months worth of tokens. What a rotten swizz! Seriously thinking of building a nice little rat rod instead now though. Anyone know how those guys go about registering their bitsers?

The doors, wings & bonnet are all available in fibreglass -or they were when I was in the owners' club. I only wanted the cab bodyshell & the registration document. Starting to lean towards a proper rod now though. That brown roadster was very nice at the Nats wasn't it. Or the matt black coupe in my piccies in the custom show. Something very, very basic & super cool.
Sell the Triumph, buy a cheap runabout bike, finish the trike & play with a rod project. Hmm!

Think I'm slowly killing the Trumpet. Well, rapidly killing it actually. Been doing a lot of high speed motorway riding lately. One 130mph run down to Southampton too many. It's starting to get very rattly. Just can't afford to maintain it. Too complicated for home maintainance, too expensive to put into a dealership. Always knew it was beyond my finances to keep in good condition. Paid 3 1/2 grand for it. Probably worth 2 1/2 now, a year later. HAS been a hell of a lot of fun, but maybe best to offload it before it starts to cost me serious money -or my licence -or worse.

i am gunna try and get some sleep as well

new meds so hopefully they will send me to sleep - yeah right

goodnight all

Yoda

G'night loopy people.
Off you go then. Don't worry about me. I'll clean this lot up while you curl up in your cosy beds. Look at the state of this place, crumbs everywhere, & what on earth is that stain? No, I don't want to know.
