Got my leg over earlier, in complete silence just in case we woke the dog 🤣

Two things!

1-Goodwood Festival of Speed, this weekend. Am packing now. Excited.

2-It looks like I’m entering the most Autoshite of motorsport events; the 24 hours of Lemons, in the US, this autumn. Details TBC. A proper bucket list thing!

[Wack]

This is what happens when you're paid by the parcel not the hour , rush rush rush , he probably thinks the van's been nicked 😄

Pretty sure he hates me anyway.

Unless I have treats, obviously.

Why not move the car forward 4ft so it's in the garage?

Interesting bit of kit ...

 

They’re fucking awesome things. 13-06 was one of the early ones not built by the RNLI themselves in their new factory.

Composite hull and wheelhouse 👌

The noise they make from the water-jet engines is incredible - they sound like a old muscle car 😎

While travelling down the M56 to my hospital appointment something on the other side of the motorway was smoking so badly I thought they were filming a remake of goldfinger.

It was a mk 4 mondeo. And it was obviously on its last.

Was followed home by a mullet/baseball-cap last night, driving an early 90's Ford F-150. Truck itself didn't look too bad but every time we went around a left hand curve the cars behind him vanished.

I think somethin' was leakin'

I'm not worried- it'll hopefully be with the next owner come Friday.

Urg, wish I hadn't 😅

Just had a conversation with a customer.

Him " what car are you driving ".. Me "well I've still got the Land Rover, the Peugeot and this little Nissan"

Him " what, three cars , why are you driving three cars ". Me " because the Range Rover is on sorn. And why not"

Didn't want to tell him about the other two on sorn as he couldn't get his head around someone wanting to run three cars nevermind owning six.

I think this was the last time I went pillion... 

The Horizon is the delightful female riders car. 

The land crab was a customers car that my neighbour was welding up. 

The Sherpa wasn't around long, that neighbour was a twat and could not hold a job down...

So, tomorrow is a clear work diary (apart from one easy teams call) and I will be syncing up TMS and Sky Sports for Day 2 at Headingley. Weather is iffy so the TMS team will have to talk even more ballcocks than they normally do.

16th of June

Nearside Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))
Offside Headlamp aim too high (4.1.2 (a))

22nd of June

Offside Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))
Nearside Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a))

im disappointed that on the 24th of June the MOT tester did not put 

Headlamp aim just right 

in the advisories somewhere LOL

"Goldilocks and the headlamp adjustment saga" 

[wuvvum]

I was slightly annoyed by the failure on Wednesday - I was wondering why he didn't just adjust the headlights up while they were on the beam checker.  Turned out that at some point between the first test and me taking it in for a retest, the headlight beam deflectors had fallen off...

I know its Italian and all but it seems to be dissolving at an alarming rate if the additionally advisory of 

Corrosion to some body panels

from the 22nd to the 24th is anything to go by!

 

maybe the beam deflectors rusted away...

[wuvvum]

That'll probably be the rust along the bottom edge of the passenger side door, which he wouldn't have spotted on the initial test as he couldn't get the door open...

New addition to the fleet, modelled here by MrsR but used by us both...

This is named, for obvious reasons, Madge.  Actually it's both handy and fun.
