Default The Saddest Car Forum Ever... Vol. 1

SABRE - Forums - View Forum - British and Irish Roads

I enjoy most motorways that I have driven on (with the exceptions of at least half the south east motorways which I haven’t experienced as of yet).
Has it ever been known for streetlights to be "preserved"? or given a preservation order? similar to maybe listed buildings or even prominant trees?



At 1.30 this morning it was decided that a random drive was in order. didn't want to go too far so a route involving Runcorn and Liverpool took place...




I think i spotted the pub used in "Two Pints" here...





some factories






a glimpse of one of the D2M expressways





looking down on the B5155





the old GSJ on the B5155. I spent a good hour trying to find this



more of it





the nice old part of runcorn (although it may have been Halton, I am not sure)





Liverpool across the Mersey at the crack of dawn. Shame a phone camera can't do the beauty justice




the spur road that leads to the A551





the pictures get gradually worse...








Some of the M53

IS it any worse that a thread that has in depth details of someone cleaning their car?

I read a post once where some sad fellow soaks his Oil Filter overnight - then, to cap it off, after an Oil change disconnected his spark plugs and Crank Sensor

Can't remember which Forum it was, but I shan't be going back there!!

Give them a break - they enjoy their motoring.

Wouldn't it be so much better if their website discussed ***** size and wanking in the office. Now that IS sad dl

It depends what you call fascinating. I'm fascinated by things in places they shouldn't really be, like a bolt of lightning over blue sky or the Runcorn Expressways and oddities like the Carrington Spur

Or whether they'd seen someone else somewhere driving the same mass-produced Japanese car.

I love the low bridge debate Some guy sees a sign for a low bridge and posts about it and then rent-a-spod say "I remember seeing a bridge that was 1' 5" " etc NO YOU DONT YOU SPOD!!! Pretending to see a low bridge somewhere in Pontychuffingpandy or some other welsh village does not make you special
It is a pure comedy forum....

Yes, they are a bit sad, seems harmless though.

Most people in the *outside world* will think of ALL us lot as a *bit sad* for perusing and posting on car forums.

A bit of perspective maybe?
