MG MGF Technical - A Xmas Parody Of This BBS

Darren Norwich

Ok so last nite I took out all the screws and bolts on my car and greased the threads then put them back to make it easier for me to get them out next time if I have to. Anyone else done this?

Fred Oldman London

Sorry nothing constructive to add except to say I¡¦m quite old and had lots of cars and motorbikes and I married into the travel industry

German Measels (Gm @ work ;-)

Hmmmmmmmm thinking about this I would buy all new screws from Tyke (Tyke I love you and want to have your babies, and will be spending more money in with you soon!)

Tyke

Singing ¡§money makes the world go around¡¨ - we are making a complete set of screws and bolts for t¡¦F in gold plated titanium. About 6 zillion quid - ¡§money makes the world go around¡¨

German Meaeles (Gm @ work ;-)

Tyke ¡V I¡¦ll bring GM up after Xmas and have all of them changed (Tyke I love you and want to have your babies)

I did this and actually got 0.000000000009 bhp increase at the ashtray so IMO its well worth doing and if Tyke¡¦s making a new set for only 6 zillion quid what could be better ¡V yeah the Darkside swings¡K.

Hi Bob - didn¡¦t know you¡¦d changed yours, could you send me your old screws and bolts please?

Whilst you¡¦ve got all your screws loose Darren try connecting a 6Kohm double oscillating splurge grommet in where the temporal correlation unit sits. Once you¡¦ve done this you need to solder a 25k pot on your head and you¡¦re away.

German Measles (Gm @ home now¡K¡K¡K¡K¡Kƒº))))))))

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you might want to try a 30k pot on your head instead and add one of Tyke¡¦s diamond encrusted titanium clock adjusting knobs (only 2 million quid). I¡¦ve done this and got 10 more BHP at the door handles. (Tyke I love you and want to have your babies)

Is good no screws loose first see website picture.mgf.de anyway Xmas new screwdriver from Tyke only 4 zillion Euros

Santa Claus

That is almost nearly funny

Were you bored?

I can see the point you're making with the parodic style but IMO the execution wasn't up to much.
Marko

Wish I DID have a comercial connection with tuning companies and garages. Still, the publications pay a little pocket money :-)

I can really recommend the ashtray mod. It's fab, and Tyke does a silver plated version. No financial connections etc.

But if they're listening, that'll be ten quid, thanks.
Bob Hell

LOL. made me chuckle alright! :-D

Two jump leads go into a bar and one asks the bar man "can we have a drink"? The barman says "ok but dont start anything"!!!!!!

I gotta say this is very funny and well thought out.
I'm sure no offence was intended, so come on own up who wrote it?

SF, please tell us u were being ironic!!
darce

>>>>Don't you mean AN Xmas Parody Of This BBS?

Ok. Pedant's corner.

I'm afraid Santa's correct on that one. In written English, you use 'a' or 'an' as if the word/acronym afterwards was *not* in a contracted form. And 'X' is a contracted form of 'Christ'. This does not apply to spoken English.

Similarly, one should write 'Fred owned a MGF', although I accept that no one ever does!

Yeah, I know. Who gives a f...........
David Bainbridge

>>>>>Similarly, one should write 'Fred owned a MGF',
====er, no you shouldn't. You should say 'an MGF' as MG is not a contraction for anything. And don't start the old 'MG stands for Morris Garages' 'cos it doesn't ; the definitive comment by Cecil Kimber (the real one) was that "MG stands for itself".
David

>> SF, please tell us u were being ironic!! <<

Missed off the ;-)

Scarlet Fever

Who gives AN "F", I will argue my point till the cows come home even if I am wrong, so give up now or I guarentee you will be sick of this thread in no time.....:-)
