SANTAN Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Didn't know to put this here or Unpopular Opinions but I grew up watching Jackass and I thought it was the best thing ever. Me and my mates had a wee YouTube account where we tried our own version, used to watch the films regularly, all the spin off stuff like Viva La Bam, CKY etc.. just the general moronic skateboarding doing dumb shit with your pals culture but I've just seen that they're doing a new movie now that they're all old and probably looking for a retirement payday, trailer actually had me laughing away though, I will unashamedly be watching this as soon as it comes out. ETA - Link to the YouTube gets posted when I have +5000 rep count. Edited July 28, 2021 by SANTAN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, in other movie related RTBC news: Bob Odenkirk is stable after apparently having a heart attack on set. Was a bit worried when there was no news for about a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 My first car was a red Vauxhall Nova. 1.2 engine. It was a B reg (registered in 1985) and I got it in 1997. Whenever it started a big plume of blue smoke came out of the exhaust. Tape deck, manual choke, no power. I really hated that bloody car. In 1998 I changed it for a Cavalier Estate that I should never have sold. That said, there was no feeling in the world like being 17 years old, waking up in the morning and realising you can literally go anywhere, whenever you like. No planning bus trips, waiting at bus stops or train stations. So long as you had petrol money (59.9 p per litre at the time) you could go anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I couldn’t tell you the registration of the car I drive now!My work takes details of all cars parked on our premises and it's astounding the amount of folk who don't know their own car's registration. I genuinely thought that was something every car owner knew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing I did was go for a drive through meal and when I wound the window down to order and get the grub I couldn’t wind it back up again. Then when I went out the next morning it wouldn’t start. Petrol tank was leaking. Still loved it though. First car as an old banger is lost on young ones these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine got a brand new Rover (forget the model) for her 17th birthday. She had her driving lessons and immediately was in a brand new car. I was never jealous, and in hindsight think she's the one who missed out. I know more about cars and mechanics now because I had so many bangers that were held together with spit and duck tape. My third car was a Ford Orion. I bought it in the summer and spent a good couple of months enjoying the sunroof. Come the winter, I found out that the sunroof leaked. Like driving under a dripping tap. It also had electric windows that didn't fully close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
