Grumpy old buggers thread

I saw what you did there with that double entendre...

...after driving a land rover our faith in things going well is reinforced...
...after driving a land rover all else pales in comparison...
...after driving a land rover I am reminded the simple things in life matter...

Who else can add something that their land rover does for them...

After driving a Landrover my wallet is always lighter.
After driving a Landrover my mechanical skills have Vastly improved.

My D1 used to give me the ****s sometimes, but when I saw her parked up in the Mazda Dealer's yard after delivering her to her fate I was very very sad as I drove away. .

The latest annoyance is, I've had two bottles of rotten milk in two weeks, one 2L lasted until about 25mm was left and the other didn't even make it overnight, I think I only got one cup of tea out of it and the next morning it went plop, plop, plop, in my coffee! I can't remember the last time I had milk go off, must be years. I suppose that's what happens in a crisis, it's an opportunity for gougers and incompetents to get away unreproached!

Milk in Tea!! Sacrilege.

Are you not bringing in the milk from the doorstep until mid-day? Have you checked the USE BY dates?

Taxi drivers and their complete indignation if you dare to pull them up on their "professional" driving.

*Sitting behind a taxi, lights go green, no movement, taxi driver texting on his mobile phone, I do my standard series of short beep beep beep (about 6 times normally ****es off enough people), taxi driver puts his arm out the window and shakes the fist at me!

*Sitting at traffic lights, taxi van next to me, my lane shortly after the traffic lights turns left, the right lane turns right at the T junction. Drivers in the right lane like to speed off when the lights go green and do the quick change to the left lane just before the T junction. This taxi van driver was no different but the Perentie catches people out with how quick it is (upto about 50kmph anyway), taxi driver tries to push across, swerves away, swerves back, eventually deciding the ****ty taxi van was going to come out worse then the Perentie, holds the horn on, yells and screams at me.

Yes but sometimes it just feels good to stop these buggers from being dicks and endangering others!

Wishful thinking I know and Perth drivers are the worst for this in AU, but if they'd only indicate well in advance, most of us most times would be only too happy (and surprised) to let them in. I never understood the logic of "indicating is to tell others what you have just done"!

Nah!
Them's confirmators, probably knocked off a wrecked BMW

But sooooo much more satisfying.

I find in most cases that "professional driver" is a misnomer when applied to taxis, nowadays.
