So Andy, was the guy at the MOT centre - deaf, dumb and blind.

Did the Commer pass the MOT?

No. I ended up taking the bloody dog to the vets to have his met and two veg stitched back on after running through some barbed wire lying in a field. That used up half the day and what with work and having rellies staying has meant I've not had time...

Excuses excuses.  You've got your priorities all wrong.
If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

I know him Neil!  :D I've bought bits off him and I'm supplying him with a brand new heater for his detector van!

Cant believe that had slipped back to page 4!

Should Mr Zarse ever find a need to replace the coolmer, then maybe he would like to consider one of these?

I  see the JOTD thread has finally exceeded the Commer replacement thread in number of posts.
However unlike this our favorite irreverant thread the JOTD thread has numerous repeats of old jokes we have read before while here every post is a unique expression of the spirit of CA.
 Long may the Commer survive.

You Bastard Zarse. I've read about Cads like you. You've had your fun and now you cast the Old Girl aside.

So after 7 years and many thousands of posts, it really is time for a modern commer replacement!

Kev, it don't think you buy commers with money, they are like heirlooms and passed down thru the generations.

Whilst we're having a bad day for Commers, here's a lovely 1961 PA torched by vandals in Telford. Senseless a**eholes.
