strangeangel Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Stick it in the van, take it for a ride to the sticks and dump it. Then call the local council and cash her in for fly tipping, handily giving them a description and the reg number of her Juke. stonedagain, adw1977 and paulplom 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Delivering to a bread factory. Always fucking disgusting with rats and yeast thrown about.

I had to park next to that insane woman's flat again. I let the dog out last night and she's put her bin out. It looks like its up against my van passenger door. It could almost be touching. Again I'm usually very jolly, calm and collected but this has made me very angry indeed. What should I do? 1, Calmly pull the bin away. 2, Hammer throw it into the middle of the green. 3, Launch it through her sitting room window. 4 Put it in the van and dispose of it. 5, All of the above? I'd like some advice please. Has anyone suggested taking the wheels off? BorniteIdentity, stonedagain, paulplom and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Frantic texts from a chum of MrsDC's this morning, as the Bini diesel she bought in July (four years old, bought from a dealer, fully serviced at point of purchase) is now "making a clicking noise" from the engine. Is there oil showing on the dipstick? "No." Is the oil warning light on? "Yes, it's been on for a week - I've been meaning to put more in, but it's not like a week overdue should make a difference, should it?" Um... on a 50 mile daily commute, then yes it would. "Well that's just silly." There's no easy way to tell someone they've terminally fucked their car (bought on credit, natch) is there? myglaren, purplebargeken, N19 and 5 others 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Crikey she must be a right silly sausage. My wife knows our Bini burns a bit of oil and she understands that it needs topped up weekly. She nudged me to do it for the first few weeks we had it until she was sure that I was indeed checking it weekly but at least she remembered!

MikeR Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 My wife did that years ago .... Turned out it was the HRW warning light . As opposed to a work mate .. Female ..

So if the oil light came on on your car you'd just carry on driving it because 'that's just silly' Lots of modern cars use oil, just like old cars do, to ignore it is just fucking stupid.

Jerzy Woking Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Had a BMW 1150 RS bike at work. From new it needed between three quarters and a litre of oil ever 500 miles. No smoke, no leaks. It came with a sticker in the handbook to stick on the clocks that said "check oil every 500 miles". At about 4000 miles, it stopped using any oil at all. It was a shite thing though, hated by all the riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 What a fucking 24 hours. New upstairs neighbours are cunts. Very loud, playing music/blaring TV until midnight most nights. Last night they decided that 2.20am was a good time to do a wash load, so I was woken up by the spin cycle. Got up to have a cup of tea and I managed to spill it all over the coffee table. In the morning, sitting having a cuppa and decided to adjust the table - yeah, you guessed it. Spilt coffee all over the place. Fast forward to lunchtime, was at my son's school for Xmas lunch. Managed to knock over my cup of water and soak my chocolate cake as well as the table. Later on, while washing up, I managed to catapult a tray off the window sill containing some cleaning sprays and a small houseplant, thus filling the washing up bowl with soil. Took ages to clean up. Then to top things off, I read people on my for sale thread jokingly /seriously offering roffle money value for my car, which is frustrating as it doesn't work like that. I've paid the money to collect it, sold my car off cheap and it's my only car. Offering 10/20 quid for it is just insulting. This,coupled with having one of the world's biggest anxiety attacks earlier, being extremely irritable and almost suicidal, is meaning I'm not in a good place. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Got to buy a car for £2500 or thereabouts. Mrs P wants a Mini R56, so I am hunting for a decent one. How hard can it be? Went to see one today which apparently was “mint”. Local car, careful lady owner etc. For a start the outside was dirty but ok, it’s been raining. The interior was filthy and dusty with grime on switches, etc. The engine started with a squeal which even surprised the dealer who also looked concerned. Probably just a fan belt but it sounded more serious. One careful lady owner perhaps, not sure what the other three were and yes it was a local car - in Liverpool. The comprehensive service history was two stamps in the book, last in 2011. What was odd was a 2009 car had its first two services done by a mobile mechanic rather than a Mini dealership. Someone wasn’t worried about their warranty. No sign of timing chain rattle though. I tried to like it but the heavy clutch with an inch of movement killed it for me. Needless to say I am looking at two others tomorrow. One is a Cat N that only needed a new bumper (pics to prove apparently) and the other is a white one with a red leather interior to satisfy my ambition to have a wipe clean interior for serial killing. Wish me luck! paulplom, HarmonicCheeseburger, Tickman and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 For 2500 you could get a really good R53 but you are in shit territory with the r56, so you need to be lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry you're having a shit day, I think the mental health of a significant proportion of the UK population is on a low ebb today for a few reasons. Also, I might take the Mickey a bit and have been frustrated when you picked the 306 up, but I still think you're mint.
