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.

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.

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

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.

names of places so they dont get visited....................

looks like they couldnt work on a pram

Got my k11 parcel shelf with speakers installed today, so much nicer :D 

Looking for a wet vac or something not too expensive so I can clean up the seats and carpets.  Any suggestions?

I have a Titan one from Screwfix, sixty quid I think it was.  Lidl have them that look a bit better for about fifty, own make.

I thought this was the anti-grumpy thread

Did you mean to do a fake news share?  That was Minnesota over a year ago.  He is not and never was a FBI Agent.  You'd maybe think 'Informer, more likely', and that is why they let him go.  Truth is he is an Instagram/YT/Twitter member of the public and when they saw his ID they let him go.

If anyone is wondering why God's Chosen people are in fancy dress, that's the Jewish festival of Purim - the one occasion where they really let themselves go. More for the kids' benefit.

Good side.

Further information has come to light. Wine was applied and the truth is out. 

There was a loud noise and funny steering about a mile away from the delivery. So of course she carried on and did the delivery. 

Then, having done the delivery drove off the wrong way. Did a few miles, a lap of a roundabout, a few miles back past her delivery and started on the 12 miles back to the unit. She only gave up when the steering got too grim. 10+miles like it easy. 

I'd like to make some comment about "unbelievable" , but honestly, I'm not even slightly surprised. ?. Some of you have wives and will understand I'm sure. 

(Parts bill looking like north of 400 quid. Eep.)

Oh god. That looks identical to my first car!

I know it isn't the actual same car. P894 AUY was scrapped.

Hopefully, it's all been done. I've started a thread on it.

Getting this glossy studio photo of an early base Sierra for under three quid on Ebay.  The only problem is that black and white doesn't show off the grey grille!

A big personal grin in that I found the key for mavisnotmavis! All of my other keys were locked inside, it's been too long since I got along to the unit! Weekend goals!
