Shitting in the shallow end. *A2 fixes*

[Jim Bell]

And now kids, it's time for........

 

Crafting with Action Bronson. 

 

 

 

 

Today we are gonna be crafting out some car seats. Usin all the skills I  learned on the street. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This hole shit, will not stand. 

 

We gonna work. 

 

[Jim Bell]

 

 

Now you're gonna need some round ended scissors, and a template. 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

From the template, you're gonna cut a patch using some strong ass material. Like an old pair of bluejeans or some shit. 

 

 

Then you'll need a needle. But not the junkie kind. 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

 

 

Then get your thread, your pins, and get your ass to work. 

[Jim Bell]

 

That looks close enough. Stitch it. 

 

 

[loserone]

Did you consider making it look like a giant fabric plaster?

[Jim Bell]

If a needle breaks coz your game is too hard, roll with it. 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

Keep going. Switch the shit out. 

 

 

And eventually.

Terrible skills, but I still pat myself on the back. 

[Arthur Foxhake]

Commendable repair work.

Action Bronson, his pals and their "cookery show" is some quality viewing.

I had to explain what exactly it was I was watching when Wuvvum came round with the LDV, in case he thought I was a gang banger.

I'm sure Wuv has seen plenty of gang bangs.

You should have just cut the patch the same size as the existing panel then done the rest the same until you ran out of jeans, two tone seats lush.

You're right, but I'm not that clever. Something to consider for when this patch fails and falls off though.

I like a bit of action Bronson. 
 

I went to the place in London’s China town that he goes to for Pork buns in “Fuck that’s delicious”

Lamb over rice by him and Anchemist is not long out and 4 out of 5 good. 

 

As with all "lightly driven" multijets, the wastegate actuator on mine is crudded up and sticky. This creates a bit* of boost lag on occasion which ranges from levels of "I didn't notice at all" to "why is nothing hape...FUUUUUUU!!!".

It's a common ting and most just drive around it (see below)

HELPFULLY Fiat chose to build the entire car around the turbo so it's nice and inaccessible. 

With the air box and battery out, you can just about see it.

Plan is at some point to blast it with some wd40 or non brand equivalent and lever it about a bit. This is reported to usually work wonders. 

[garbaldy]

Oh dear I fear when mine comes back it will be shit then as the fither in law is a proper Sunday driver, maybe I will give it a good thrashing next time he's over.

They do benefit from a touch of the old Italian (Polish) tuning. 

[garbaldy]

If there's one think im reasonably good at its ragging the gonads off a motor haha.

First longish trip in the Poo-nda was up to Scotoshite for some grade A foods and chat. 

It's not that far in comfortable car but my not inconsiderable heft, folded into a panda leaves space rather cramped. Panda seats are also very not comfort. A bar thing pokes you in the arse and there's no support from anywhere. 

I prepped for the arduous journey by brimming the tank and resetting the trip meter. 

 

 

Early bird catches worms. 

 

 

 

I cheated by doing a half days work on the way up.

Hyperspeed!!!!!

[Jim Bell]

Out on the open motorway the Panda isn't as shit as it really should be. There's loads of sound deadening so it's a reasonably quiet cruiser (if you compare it to a C1, Lupo or some other contemporary competition).

 

By Cumbria I was ready to increase the poo count so looked for somewhere appropriate to stop (by Autoshite standards)

 

 

 

 

I will NOT visit your Craft Shop. 

 

[Jim Bell]

The day was fucken rotten and there was snow on the top bits. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Progress was maintained right enough though. 

After a stop for some Handburger. 

[Jim Bell]

Made it to the digs and found a bonus free m&m in the underpant draw. 

You get a mint on the pillow in England. Scotland is odd. 

And the m&m tasted weird. 

 

[Jim Bell]

Meet was great with loads of sexy vehicles and top humans. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim Bell]

The way home in the morning was grim, even by Scottish standards. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though I did spot a yellow panda in the wild on the way home. 

 

 

Just off in the distance there. I didn't want to spoil it by getting too close. 

[Jim Bell]

Stopped for a few snaps at The Sill in Northumberland.
