And on that note, what did I do today …….. I cleaned my wife’s car as mine isn’t here.  ;D  She wants me to paint her brake calipers at some point so that she can impersonate an S3.  ::)
You'd have to cut four holes in the bumper and wedge four baked bean cans in there. Take the lids off first, empty out the beans and polish the cans. Oh, and take the labels off, they're a dead giveaway.  ;D


It already has S3 front and rear bumpers and wheels from factory. On the drivers side the rear bumper has a profile line where you can cut the extra twin zorst opening, but that won’t be happening.
Take your point about the bean cans though.  ;D   :y

Only just noticed that the quad zorst profile is an insert so no cutting required. Still not happening though.  :)
If you do decide to go ahead, four packs of Heinz beans are cheaper than buying them individually  :y

Heinz beans are crap mush.

Lidl much better for about 30% of the price. :y
The cans are of poor quality for Audi S3 exhausts, though.

Quite right Stemo, plus the fact that she’s a brand snob so the tailpipe cans would have to be Heinz.  :y

…………
I said I'd turn up to an XJ meet in a couple of weeks.  I bet they are all busy polishing theirs.  Mine won't even see a sponge before I go ;D

Fair play for being like that, you turn up because you want to and the vehicles cleanliness doesn’t play a part. I’m the opposite, my car is rarely dirty for more than a couple of days, and even then it’s not really that dirty, just dusty. I know my neighbours say “he’s out there again cleaning his car”.  ::)  So yes, I’m a poser who turns up with a shiny car at a car meet/car service/mot etc and I even cleaned it before new tyres were fitted the other day, in the belief that they would be more careful with it because it was shiny.  ;D  Oh dear, I really should get a life and get out more.  ::)
I dont need to reply, because you already know you are very special, YZ ;D

 ;D :y

I currently have a VW Amarok courtesy car sat in my drive and it’s dirty. The urge to go and clean it is becoming overwhelming, and it’s not even my car.  ::)
You could drop yours off at my place, I’d run you to the station and then my OCD would force me to clean your car if it was dirty in my drive. Win win all round.  ;D
The thought had crossed my mind long before you mentioned it.  I can ensure it breaks down somewhere near YZ land, and abandon it....    ...much like that car that was ploughed into the front of somebody's house there a year or so back ;D

No, no, no. Just no.  There is only one brand of Beanz.

I wouldn't even put Lidl's shite excuse for Beanz in a food bank.  In fact, I'd rate them about the same as Tesco blue/white tinned ones, and only a tiny step about the unedible Branston ones.

Beanz Meanz Heinz, taught that at the same time as I was taught the Green Cross Code.  Shame, as a nipper, I had to live on NAAFI crap ;D

Plus Heinz do the catering sized tins of Beanz, which is probably more what Mrs YZ250 is looking for....

Ah yes, the bmw that made a patio door sized hole in somebody’s house, and couldn’t be removed for several weeks because it was holding the house up.  :y  Luckily nobody was home at the time. You have a good memory, it was one year ago this month.  :y

A better slogan would have been "Beanz Beanz, good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you fart.  :)

Exactly.  Though ronnyd's last line is different to what I was taught, which was "Eat baked Beanz with every meal"


Strangely enough, real Beanz have minimal effect on me.  Cheap beans, however, well, that calls for regular "wipes" just to check for mishaps....

Yes it was incorrect as i was doing it in the 2nd person, not 1st person. to try to make it sound right. Haven't got a clue about posh writing as you can all see.  ;D

I suspect its regional differences.

Like now many beans make 5.  The yanks get it wrong, as I was taught:
2 Beanz
Half a Bean
A Bean and a half
And a Bean.

and my Uncle used to say ;-

a bean a bean and half a bean
half a bean
a bean a bean.
