United States of GRIZZ - Just how random do you want it?

Post by Grizz »

This thread may be like a lead balloon

🎈

Or something that actually works.

The section is for cars and car related stuff.

Those who know me from any of the other forums I frequent, will know that George the cat who moved in here two years ago, BBQ’s and weird food or American and local Road trips are part of the randomness I post.

COPY AND PASTE is the way it happens when you post on 9 very different forums.


Question is, how long before people start complaining, editing, deleting all the bollox that I post in one place??

We are all different and probably multi dimensional.

Fuck…… I hope those in the back are keeping up.




So



In no particular order.



Chevy Astro Van. 1990 4.3l V6 auto. (Toy)

VW Caddy ex-WAV 2002 1.9 SDI (Daily)

Peugeot 206 CC 2002 2.0l (SORN & For Sale)

Rezin Rockit 1992 Q-plate MX5 1.6 (Built, For Sale
)

George - Stray, Free agent. Garage supervisor, dickhead.

So thats what you have to deal with here.

Thank you.

Here he is the day I met him.

Before that he would watch from a distance

I had another amazing adopted cat, Mollie here. She kept him away.

And just like that…….

You have me summed up.

If its weird, different, quirky, rare (I do not pay for rare, as I am a super cheap arse) or interesting, you will have me all over it.

The Caddy had a ramp in the rear for a wheelchair, lowered floor, cut bumper and two rear jump seats.

I bought it because it is practical.

And because the company car was getting collected on 11 December.

In Mexico and South America the glass is also unknown and here, Spain (they were sold as Seat Inca) and anywhere else they were sold, the glass is extremely coveted.


I blacked the side glass (it’s curved and an absolute ball ache to do) out for security to stop fuckwits seeing stuff to break in for.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Nice one Grizz. I’ve watched your threads on that blue place for years although I never post there. In fact the only post I ever made there was on one of your threads when the cat that adopted you was forced to return to its owner.
Looking forward to what comes next in the world of Grizz.

While I was on photobucket……

Interior.

I removed and stored the rear seats and sold the front seats.

Replaced with comfortable VR5 seats

George supervised. He loves a car.

Thank you.

Yup.

Mollie was a spectacular abandoned stay.

When she came back the second time and got killed 9 months later, I took a day off work. She was the most incredible shadow and companion I could ever imagine.

All cats are different so comparing them is not really ideal.

But guys like dickhead George are independent and yet like to hang around wherever I work.
