Just smelled my old best mate from the mid 90's.

Ok that needs further explanation, just out of shower, reached for a lynx can, it's only retro java I think I got for Christmas. My old mate Dave used to wear that back in the day.

Still smells shit though, it's no Africa 🤣

Just been talking to a guy that owns a body shop 

One of his customers had an new RS6 , he'd been for PPE and paint correction but he was obsessed with it , decided he wanted an interim oil service so bough the correct oil and took it to one of the high st tyre service places 

They did the oil change , took it off the ramp , gave it back , he got about a mile and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree so he took it back , they got a guy in to scan it and it came up with a gearbox fault 

What numbnuts had done was removed the sump plug , drained the oil , refilled it and given it back , only he'd drained the gearbox oil and filled the engine up so it had double the oil in it 

There's a moral to this story but I'm sure you can work it out :D

I can still remember the lovely smell of Lynx Oriental.

Yeah. I used to use that. Back in the day you couldn't beat the success rate with Fahrenheit or Kouros.

Moved onto joop original late nineties. One squirt would make your house stink for a week. No idea what the hell was in that.

I had an amazing night with Miss Doncaster(yes that was such a thing) thanks to joop once. Worth every penny it cost in Boots 👍

All of those smelt like teargas then and still do; why do people perpetrate such nasal atrocities upon everyone?

Not the first time that kind of thing has happened.

some years back i was watching a guy working on a very nice jag while i was having tyres fitted. i presume the jag was needing a ball joint or track rod end as the guy had the oxy acetylene torch out and was belting seven bells out of something. 

then it went very quiet. 

then the shouting started. 

then the customer saw the massive gouge in his wing from a misjudged swing of the lump hammer.

not sure how it ended as my tyres were done and i nicked off sharpish before things got too heated :(

What a pleasant way to end the year. Little jaunt up Black hill. Windy. But seen the sun set on the year is worth it. The Dark Peaks living up to their name..

I get those fairly often. As even I don't like me, I think it's extremely unlikely to work.

I once misjudged the width of the pit when driving over it to get my exhaust changed , a mate worked there , I think I'd have been about 18 , drove over it without anyone watching me , because 18 , next second in it 

It was only an old Cortina , put a dent in the sill that went with the other dents 

The same guy a few weeks after drove a reliant robin over the pit instead of reversing it , that didn't go as well

Better than smelling like a tramp or fishmonger.
