Frank was tired of being clamped every time he drove into town, until he picked up this little baby on ebay.

Hey - at least give me a credit for the idea you have developed!

We should compare mother in laws at some point!

Wifey - "Brian"
Hubby - "Yes dear"
Wifey - "Remember that car you sold on ebay you described as totally mint but was actually a pile of rusty knackered junk?"
Hubby - "Yes dear I do, what I d*ckhe@d he was not coming to look at it, laughed my head off the price he paid, what a plonker"
Wifey - "Well the guy that bought it is at the door now, says he wants his money back"
Hubby - "Tell him to eff off"
Wifey - "Ummmmm, how about you come to the door and tell him to eff off yourself, you might want to re-phrase that when you see what he's driving!"

Well I like to think that yours was the Triumph Bonneville of the seventies but then the Japanese reliable ‘no oil leaks’ smooth 'wlll ride forever' Honda 750 four hit out shores and there was no looking back. The Japanese never apologised to GB but I'll admit you gave me an idea :wink: Gratuitous images to follow... :D

Nice pics Tone :) I used to lust after a CB750 that parked along the road from us when I were a lad, never did get one, though a friend had one at one time so I did get a shot or two ... wasn't that impressed, by that time they were heavy and pretty slow in comparison to more modern stuff. Apparently Bonnevilles were better for pulling the ladies though, something to do with the vibration .... so I'm told ... :D :twisted:

Non of my bikes were ever that clean and shiny!!

Oooops, back to the CC :D

Soldiers were relieved the alien machine had run out of Dilithium Crystals and come to a standstill after ripping just the one wheel from their Armoured Personnel Carrier, and were able to make good their escape on the other three wheels.

Sing along now don't be shy ..... "There's one wheel on my wagon, but I'm still rollin along"

"Sure I know who you are Spiderman, but you still can't park that there even if you are in the middle of saving the world from complete destruction, rules is rules y'know!"

Police Officer 1 to Police Officer 2 - "Maybe if that tyre is bald we can get him on that?"

Police Officer 1 to Police Officer 2 - "To be honest I don't think shooting the tyre out will stop it!"

Hard to tell from the angle, but is that the US Spec. 650 Bonny with high rise wide bars?

I learned to ride on one of those!
It had an annoying neutral between 3rd and 4th, as well as the proper neutral! I had a great deal of trouble setting off one day until I realised I was trying to set off in third!

Also, the crankcase breather tube ran around the rear mudguard on some models for some reason.
My relative's bike had a slight hole worn in the tubing just below where the passengers thigh was - which led to an embarrassing warm patch on their jeans! :whome:

I once saw one in Bill Heads showroom in Preston, and it didn't have a small pool of oil under it.
I remarked upon this to the salesman, who explained it was brand new, just been wheeled in, and didn't have any oil in it yet!

Car sales manager - "You gave him HOW MUCH for it in a trade in???!!"

Professor Frankenstien couldn't get hold of bodies so easily anymore, so he decided to make his next creation from dead machinery instead!

Homer Simpson had been busy in his garage for days!

New Mafia protection racket - Fifty quid and they wont flick that big wheel and tyre at you, your car or shop front ... accidentally!

Professor Jobnutz of Dream Creations said, "our device uses Quantum Physics to actually physically create things you dream of, it turns your unconsious desires into real objects, what you dream about and truly lust after is exactly what you get. We've just given Jeremy Clarkson a shot!"

Volvo recon they have developed the world's safest car!! Company spokesperson and head developer for the project Hydrol Icrams said. "its a simple concept, by suspending the passenger compartment in mid air, other vehicles which would have collided can pass harmlessly underneath, and no wheels means no punctures, further enchancing safety."

Scammera Partnerships develop what they believe is the safest vehicle ever, spokesperson Ima Jiggytwot said, "as this vehicle cannot exceed any speed limits ever, given 100% adoption it will definitely mean no more people will ever be injured on our roads. Even If it only saves the life of one child, we believe everyone should be forced to drive one of these."

Some people have a phobia about spiders, some about going outside, some about heights .... Plant operator Ivan has a phobia about wheels and is dealing with it in his own way!

Inventor Prof Pistonbroke has a theory about vehicles security ... instead of making them difficult to steal, just make them really dificult to drive!

Heavy tunneling equipment arrives on site, main contractor BillyBob Bucket & Son expect to start tunnelling operations tomorrow and break through into USA soil in about 3 weeks, completing the first Trans Atlantic Tunnel!!

..... I think I might be scraping the bottom of the bucket now :D

"Hey, at least if I park this and it floods, the carpet and seats are not going to get wet like all the hatchbacks parked behind me!" :)

Buttering up the judge by including one of his own captions from previous CC is a good idea but might work a lot better accompanied by a fatish brown envelope dropping through judges letterbox in the very near future :D :razz:

Made me laugh though, good one :rotfl:

When MI6 asked Q to build a powerful CRAB for James Bond, they took it for granted that he knew CRAB was an acronym for Car Radio Activated Bomb!

Now that's certainly a statement of urban decay .(With apologies to an oft repeated episode of heartbeat)
