Frogchod Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The Buick was put to work this week on firewood collection duties. I'll be using it from now on for trailer duties, it's so much easier to reverse a trailer when you can see it. Trailer's usually hitched to my van which is a PITA because by the time you see the trailer reacting in the mirrors it's usually too late to react. Kimmi the Shepard is much excited because obviously all those big sticks are for her to chew... bangernomics, anonymous user, Joey spud and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Oooh there's a video too! Forgot we filmed that Infact it was a shitty day, so I had my filming lights set up as their fucking bright and more energy efficient than the house ones... The photo bloke said it was the first time he's ever done this and had someone with some gear! We moved them about as he wanted. Not used to all this fame! I'm sure I'll handle it though...

Wack Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This is going to sound like a joke but I swear it's true At a boot sale last weekend a woman had some pills for sale she said were headache tablets, she was about 75 I turned them over and they were viagra ! I had a bit of a chuckle then asked how much some vintage salter balance scales were She said , £10 , I don't use them because I don't understand how they work. So , it is possible to get your brains shagged out. bangernomics, Ohdearme, Jerzy Woking and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Spent a pleasant few hours in the company of Autoshite royalty today, contrary to most people on here, he was really nice! So nice in fact he has volunteered to transport big wheels for small car to tyre place and then return the old ones. What a nice chap, Seems a shame to abuse the trust of one so young and niave Speaking of 'big wheels' had a panic: was checking them over and touching up little chips on the edges etc (because I am an arsehole) and noticed damage on the inside of the wheels, behind the spokes. No corresponding damage on the inside of the wheels and they roll straight and true, couldn't understand it, looks like light angle grinder damage. My thoughts ran instantly to the wheels had been bent and straightened, then brake calupers catching then abuse with the tyre changing machinem allsorts... Finally twigged just now, it's where stick on wheel weights have been to balance the wheels that have been crudely removed.

gm Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I took the little mx5 out for a bit of a run this afternoon as it hasn't been used much recently. coming off a roundabout, the engine spluttered and I ground to a halt - I've been playing cam belt roulette and appear to have lost. I popped the hazards on and called the rac, the operator suggested I was in for a bit of a wait, anything up to 90 mins. I posted my plight on wattsapp and immediately had offers of assistance from respected local shiters loserone (risking leaving his manflu deathbed) and scaryoldcortina but less than 15 mins later... bloody good response time, that. a quick look under the bonnet confirmed the cams weren't turning as I cranked the engine - not a major issue as the mx5 is non interference but mildly annoying. being a 'race car' the mazda has one of those fabric straps in lieu of a towing eye, the rac guy wasn't keen but hooked his rope up to move the car out of the way of the surprisingly busy roundabout. we stopped along the road to check if all was well, the tow strap seemed to be doing its job so I suggested we just carry on and tow me back to the flat instead of fanning about with the spec lift (which might have been a hassle, the mx being so low) so less than an hour from initial breakdown, I was back at the flat with the kettle on, I popped the cam cover off and found the remains of the belt, new parts are on order for fitting next week. 10/10 for Andy from the RAC today, excellent service !
