What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I managed to remove a broken stud with a stud remover, Ive owned these for 35 years and don't think they have ever been successful before.

Your SLK is the same colour as my old CLK and that was down as 'black' as well. In some lights, I think it does?

It does a bit when it's raining, which tbf is 364 days a year in Scotland

Hope they don't do what Scunie council did some years back. Bought tons of salt and sand in summer and mixed them ready for winter. Unfortunately they left the piles uncovered, so when winter came the salt had all washed away and they were left scratching their heads as to why the 'mix' wasn't dissolving the snow and ice.

I'm a bit concerned. I think my son might have a coke habit.

So after two months on furlough i went back to work this week calibrating tools and doing gas safety inspections at certain well known fast fit tyre depots around the south east.

I was getting quite disappointed at the lack of mullered tools until my last appointment in Tunbridge Wells yesterday gave this double whammy.

I mean what are you doing to actually snap a torque wrench rated at 300Nm.

This one was more obvious,this is what happens when you leave a six month old Norbar 330 on a wheel fixing and reverse out the tyre bay / you can't get better etc etc...

It sure is good to be back out in my old Sprinter.

"It was making a noise. I ignored it for a while but then the steering went funny so I thought I better stop "

Good side. 

Suspect we need a new balljoint side 

Mechanical sympathy gets you no where in this house. ?

Do you just hammer it roughly straight and give it back then?

Applied patented Jeremy Clarkson/Top Gear upgradefor all caravans.... also means no lockdown breaking with this little Tardis for 6-8 weeks as new axle on backorder.

Made me grin as the 1993 fitted axle came off in under ten minutes with just hand tools, bet refitting is a bustard.

Realised today it’s been nearly 7 weeks since I’d last started the Yugo... 

It gleefully roared into life first time... I really need to crack on with it.

That bad winter 2010 I think it was when you couldn't find rock salt anywhere ,everywhere was sold out of everything salt , even tiny salt pots , I thought surely nobody is out sprinkling salt out of a table salt pot on their path 

Anyway a truck parts place ordered 30 pallets of it for next year all in 10kg bags , they were everywhere waiting for the snow and they waited,and waited 

Last time I went down which must've been 2014 they were using them as roundabouts on site
