You've been playing with babelfish.

putting "liar, liar, pants on fire" through
english-japanese-english-korean-english gives "Liar, liar and sudden pants."

adding russian to that gets:
"Liar, liar and not expected are drawers."

then go from that to french, german and back to english:

"The liar intended liar is not and contactors."

Nope, 'fraid not. Do you chaps cart them around on the backs of
recovery trucks or something? Would certainly be cheaper than the
fuel bills I reckon!

As it happens I was coming back from Poole DVLA walk-in centre today,
and ended up behind a camo soft-top 101FC heading north a little way
outside of Poole. Good condition, appeared to be pretty original,
there was even what looked like an old powder fire extinguisher fixed
to the back. It could have been a grease gun I suppose but I've seen
ancient powder extinguishers that looked just like that before. Tiny,
good enough to put out a cigar and that's about it.

I can recommend Gaffa Tape - it's (sadly) now seen as a bit 'Un-PC'
though, as is using bungee straps to keep the little bleedahs on the
roofrack.

How do you maintain your seatbelts ? You don't, you inspect them, or the
MOT does. The same should apply to your car seats, rather than
creating needless waste.

There probably arnt many 101 owners whose trucks havent spent some
time on a transporter truck!

Regarding the 'hot water' nannying, a certain TV station in my area has
recently moved premises. I'm delighted to say that one feature that's
survived the move is the notices in the washrooms "Beware of Very Hot
Water coming from the Tap". Now personally I'm not worried about very
hot water coming from the tap. It's very hot water coming from the
light fitting, out of the door lock, through the paper towel dispenser,
up through holes in the floor etc that scares me!

Looking on the bright side, they are supplying you with Very Hot Water,
informing you of the fact, and then leaving you to decide as a mature
individual what to do about it.

Better that than to have only tepid water, just in case anyone hurts
themselves. What use is that, if you have spent your lunchtime fiddling
with the Landy to make sure you get home again, and have an important client
to see in the afternoon?

It's a right of passage with owning a 101

Well after my first off-roading session yesterday in the now
road-legal pinz, I found out that not only do I have six drum brakes
to clean, but also it does 10 MPG so I reckon I might have to use the
RAC to save fuel too!

When the self-same driver and truck came for mine, the first thing he
said was "do you know the bloke with the purple one?"....
