808 Estate Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Couple of guys at work managed to mangle a T-Bar today trying to remove a siezed bolt. Evidently, the bolt won. Oh and in case you couldnt tell the scale, its a 3/4" drive. 😲 stonedagain, Remspoor, Jenson Velcro and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder how many of these idiots are looking for a big insurance payback. I believe that Lucas Car Braking used to send a team to the far north of Europe, where they had a test track of tarmac made up every year on top of a frozen lake and then spent 3 months doing Cold trials testing down to -40 degrees C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I can think of stupider things to do than lay 250C tarmac on ice on a lake, but I have to try very hard. TooManyPeopleMovers, NorfolkNWeigh, Remspoor and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Being back in Brussels recently was great. I spotted a few things that made me grin.... This Sports Direct/JD sports type place seems to have one of those names that appear as an in-joke store in those PlayStation GTA games, except, this store is actually real and located in Antwerp/Anvers. Yes, I'm sure it is..... I delved into the archives for this. This is a real person and that is her real name. A few years ago, when I was in Brussels there were some local elections. Much like here when elections are on, you get a load of bumf through the post and see some posters in house/car windows. I kept seeing this around and had to take a pic.

danthecapriman Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 No pics sadly as I was driving, but I was coming home on the A3 this afternoon following a 2001 Ford Crown Vic. Lovely old thing it was too, stood out a mile against all the boring euro trash. Nice looking cars, seeing it has rekindled a major want for one!

meggersdog Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 We've been really busy with Mots but since Saturday we have had a number of phonecalls with people asking for tests. Should be a grump but it just makes me laugh. Todays " I need a test so does my wife " me ' we are an MoT test centre and booked until next year' caller " that's no good, I want a Covid test" The amount of enquiries for Covid tests I'm thinking about letting them rock up and blow down my gas anylizer.
