Had a DVSA site visit to my shithole of a workshop, I had a tip off but I was actually pre empting it and had kept it just about legal but with the tip off I painted some more lines on the floor and moved some junk and after 2 and a half hours the man from the ministry was happy.

 

Minor marks for not calibrating my tyre tread depth gauge was all

Tumworth.

? You have obviously never been, it's never a U, it's pronounced Tammuth, Wilnecote is pronounced Win-cut etc etc, but the Tamworth dialect is closer to Derby than Brum and if you hear a brummie accent that's down to the post war overspill or someone who can't navigate the spaghetti junction. Confused me a bit when I first moved here twenty years back

I think the tum bit was referring to the slightly corpulent gentleman in the picture.

Staying with parents for the weekend.

 

Today will mainly be spent rebuilding and testing the racing mower.

 

Tomorrow will be West's Wood Fair which seems a very Autoshite event. Lumberjacking, chainsaw work, axe throwing, archery, steam powered saws.

Any Autoshiters going? I know there's a few on the Sussex/ Hampshire border.

 

Almost makes up for the OMGHGF debacle!

ah, makes sense, I didnt get it because I didn't see the tum, was it hidden behind the outrageously fat bastard?

My leccy garage door working first time after I fitted it. I'd never seen it work as it was 2nd hand & I've never fitted one before.

Countering out earlier grump, my company received some samples to analyse yesterday in the normal post ( lots of lovely stamps) from a Nigerian university along with a fat envelope. Envelope contained several sheets of carbon paper which were wrapped around many, many £20 notes. I am sure we are the only company in the uk getting money out of Nigeria! My colleague went Straight down to the bank today. Well he said he was....

Least he got MOT the right way round  

[DeeJay]

^^Not really, his name's Tom and he's 11 months old.

[Ghosty]

Considering the rest of the ad I wouldn't be surprised if the MOT expired in November...

There was genuinely a posting on one of the ALDi forums I used when I had my A3 where some bloke was trying to tell another poster he didn't have any spark plugs because he had a direct injection pez engine.

Got Dad's day presents.  Bought self a bottle of SIngle Malt - Indian, no less - tasted first and it's very nice.

 

Going to Dad's day car show in Looogabaroga tomorrow in my death trap (as Ma and pals call it) AMC.  Finished fitting new slightly less shonky exhausts and brand new rear shocks about an hour ago.

Thanks for that, it is excellent. 

Another youtube channel to suck the hours from my life!

Got a boost pack in to work for repair the other day. Usually the batteries are shagged but never anything dramatic.

I've no idea how they manage to do this. Even as it was it still managed 8.5V into a 300A load tester

Well,my old dears have finally got to there static in Pendine. And said ''Look after the bungalow will you''

And everyone thought that lovely Nigerian prince who emailed was scamming people , he's sorted himself out and sending the money back now
