Tamworthbay Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Sorting a handrail for my Mum after her fall a couple of weeks back. A smash on the M42 island, a ducking wide load blocking the entire M42 at rush hour (wtf is this allowed?) then roadworks all the way to her house. Then my sds drill gearbox shat itself, then I realised I had forget the tile drill bits for the rail in the shower, then I cracked a slab. What a fucking ballache. Then dickhead in convertible Land Rover (how the fuck is that even a thing unless it’s a series with it unbolted) who seems to have no understanding that you give way to the right. She soon stopped her horn when I put the reversing lights on and started rolling back. Not a great day......... John F and paulplom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, as you say, it's a Series with the roof off.With a bleached blond arsehole with a gallon of fake tan on. I just despair at humanity sometimes. Thankfully a shoddy looking Volvo commands more than a little respect from even the worst of arseholes as it is clearly obvious I don’t give a shit about one more scratch. I was quite hoping she would hit me if I am honest so I claim damages for whiplash, rabies and the loss of my unborn child (in a world of equality I don’t see why I can’t be pregnant just coz I is a man) myglaren, Rocket88, Sheefag and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpiusMaximus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 This is a perfect example of a useless none entity post that is purely there to goad others into reacting………. I'll probably get a warning I know - but it was your personal insults that helped lead us here fella. You've gone all - sorry, I've apologized……. and now are sitting like the little brat that goads the bullies and waits for them to bitch slap him before running off to cry to teacher about it. GROW UP MAN!Take a step back from the keyboard and chill the fuck out! EDIT - and the term 'lads' - is the perfect example of the 'its us or them ain't it fellas attitude that fucking SUCKS DONKEY WANG 2nd edit - sorry - Grumpius - I know you do car stuff...…. go do it - then post it - seriously fella - we'd appreciate that a hell of a lot mor than the above… I hope you get my drift … Felt that was a little on the strong side, to be honest! Apology accepted and noted. Yes. I was part of the problem but I don’t see how what I’ve said here is any different from people posting up popcorn gifs or other thread commentary. For the record, the four corners of forum whinging: i) Asking for a moderator to step downii) Speculating on why a member was banned without the full factsiii) Allusions to Orwell by people that clearly haven’t read Orwelliv) Nazi comparisons (we had Stasi though) To be quite frank, this could probably all be settled over a few pints and a forum Rugby, darts and tiddlywinks championship. And I am genuinely sorry for the upset I caused last week. Whilst I might disagree with a few people on here on a number of issues, I like to think that without knowing them in real life I can make any real judgement about them and everyone I’ve met from here has been tip-top.

richardmorris Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 My grandparents have an old mangle in the garden, they put potted plants on it. When I was very little I tried to turn it and trapped my finger in it... The next time I saw it Grandad had taken the handle off and put a drop of weld on the cogs... OopsMy Gran lost the tip of her index finger in their mangle in 1925. Poking, poking, ow! beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 had to use a big hammer today .......... I lifted each corner on the new to us C1 , each wheel off and a check over , clean and spray over any paint issues ... and one back wheel was stuck on by its centre , nuts removed , and it would not shift , spin and hit with rubber hammer for about 5 mins to work it off ... just a suspicion but I reckon it had not been off for a while ??? richardmorris, GrumpiusMaximus and Saabnut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Quicker way round that issue - wheel nuts back on by a few threads, get up to about 20mph and a cheeky handbrake turn in the direction of the sticky wheel - that'll soon persuade it to let go of the hub. twosmoke300 and alf892 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Equalizer Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I rather like the convertible Evoque. It looks like an oversized Tonka toy. I am looking forward to buying one for peanuts in 15 years time. Then again, I have a soft spot for most things with a floppy top.

Tamworthbay Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I would only look forward to buying one in fifteen years if I happen to have a career change and buy a scrapyard between now and then. louiepj and rainagain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazfr69 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The regular two door Evoque looks ok in the right colour combo but the drop top is a crass looking monstrosity imo and it’ll always be driven by exactly the sort of person you’d think.

Make sure to hit the tyre not the rim though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Took the 944 to a garage a week ago and paid them £35 to look over it and tell me what was wrong last week. I thought the wheel bearings were fecked as they were an advisory at the last MOT but they stressed they were fine, they were tapered ones and should have some play. They did advise though that there was play in the steering column and rack, one of the ball joints was fucked and it was rusty as fook plus a few other little bits. Fine, I need to get it done. I said I just want the steering and the ball joint doing, I'll sort everything else. They said they'd price it up and come back to me the following morning. I rang on Friday afternoon as had not heard from them. they said they were having trouble with the parts. Rang them on Tuesday, they apologised and said they would come back to me on Wednesday. Didn't hear owt on Wednesday, so went to the garage and they promised to ring me today. Which predictably they didn't. I have to be honest, I really didn't care about the price to sort the mechanicals, I just wanted the car sorted. It's my daily I have enough other cars to worry about I don't mind paying someone else to sort this one. They were the ones that wanted to price it up, I wanted to book it in and get it fucking mended. Yet here I am a week later with no car. Twats. I took it to them as they have loads of old rally cars inside, a couple of Mk2 escorts, a 205 GTi and so on so would know their way round old cars. They might be busy but have well fobbed me off so can do one. Tamworthbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpiusMaximus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Similar story with Lady Grumpius' sister recently. Garage in Manchester didn't get back to her with a quote four times over the course of a week. Car needed a bit of welding. In the end, she left worked early, fucked it out of there, and drove it the 270 miles here to use the garage that her Dad (and myself and Lady Grumpius) use and got the train back to Manchester that night. Extreme but I saw the car today picking my Golf up and they're actually working on it... HillmanImp, myglaren and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I’ve made that mistake before with a garage having old cars . 2 months later I had to Go and take the car back and that’s with me already having sourced all the parts . Some garages aren’t interested if they can’t just order the parts through dingbro. If you offer to source the parts yourself you may have more luck.

mrbenn Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm very lucky that my local garage of choice seem happy to do bits of welding for me, perhaps an ongoing relationship helps there. They've certainly not grumbled about doing my Focus where needed, I'd trust them to do my Minor but prefer someone to come to the house for that.
