There is a thread I can't find about shite trains - can anyone give us a link to it? I have some pictures to share. Thanks.

The 460's sunroof is leaking. Mainly because matey boy disturbed the seal. It's now dribbling water in from the driver's side. ARGH.

Wat, you really do have som angr issues I suggest a good woman to sort you out and you will mellow out

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Hmmm. Sold some wheels on another forum to a French guy who arranged for DHL to pick them up. Ignorant frenchman neglects to tell me that it's an all fucking day job, didn't he? That's me fucked for going for a dump from 9am to 5pm.

 

I was also waiting for a parcel pickup today, but the van turned up at 11am so I'm going to go get a burger for dinner. (smug)

^^^ I've put a Belgian Tripel and a St. Peter's IPA on to ferment this morning, so all is not lost.

Essex fucking Police. As posted elsewhere, I got a tug driving the Iveco van home last Weds as it was showing up as uninsured on the PNC. Copper gave me a FPN with a producer for my license (don't know why they needed me to produce that as they'd already checked me out on the computer, but that's a separate rant), insurance and MoT. After a mad rush to find my paper counterpart, I finally presented all my docs at Norwich police station this lunchtime, thinking that would be the end of the matter.

 

Oh no. Apparently my certificate of insurance is not enough, and neither is the word of the desk officer at Norwich police station who checked with the MID and confirmed that I was covered. They now want a letter of indemnity from my insurance company confirming that I was covered. Just rung the insurance broker, who said that they don't do letters of indemnity as they consider (quite rightly) that the certificate of insurance is proof enough (which it always has been in the past). They did however say that they would confirm to Essex police over the phone that I was covered if need be.

 

So I now need to allow a couple of days for the photocopied docs to wend their way to the Essex ticket office, and then call them and explain the situation. If (as I suspect) they decide that they're going to continue to be awkward cunts, I'm going to have to reject the FPN and let them take me to court. Which is all I fucking need.

[M'coli]

What was the FPN for - the no insurance?

[wuvvum]

What was the FPN for - the no insurance?

Yep. Didn't have my certificate on me. Never caused this much of an issue in the past...

[kinkersaab]

traffic cops are all twats! ^^^

 

Makes you wonder why, if they are so unsure of whether you are insured or not they let you carry on your way? They usually don't need much reason to confiscate car and make your day absolute hell. Bastards!

[wuvvum]

The traffic cops themselves actually weren't too bad as traffic cops go - like you say, they could quite well have confiscated the van but they decided to give me the benefit of the doubt. It's the Essex Central Ticket Office which is causing the problems.

[kinkersaab]

...still all cunts.

[autofive]

policy is not to confiscate unless you admit no insurance, or they can prove it

My mates motorbike garage was broken into last night.

 

Wheel balancing machine, Snap-On tools, tyre machines all gone, and they broke into his practice room and stole a load of rare guitars.

 

Rickenbacker, '61 Eko acoustic, early '70s Washburn and a load of others all gone.

 

Bastards.

 

Really puts the whining in here about Norm and a few others into perspective, although that pisses me off as well. FFS, it's a car forum for people who like shite old cars. We had this a few months ago and lost Pog, Barrett (well, we lost his excellent articles from what I can see), and a few other great posters. We also lost Len for a while, but it looks like he's back.

 

Here's a racing Å koda-LIAZ truck. Can we get back to normal now please?

Gutted for him. I used to get turned ofer fairly regularly when I dealt with bikes - not so much with shitey old cars, although some fool relieved me of a pile of wheels (crap ones with useless tyres) a few weeks back and I'm still finding new scratches on stuff where they dragged them over the cars.

 

Double gutted about the guitars too - I'm on a bunch of music forums, I'll keep an eye out for suspicious sounding "for sale" posts.

Get a mean doggie, SOC. Or turn some mean pussy loose on the premises, like the one that tore up your arm a while back. Or just give A5 (Sasquatch) a shack to live inside the perimeter.

 

i have all the hand and leg breaking implements at the ready

A memo arrived today from the managing director stating that this year our dealership will be open both Boxing day and New Years day. We will all have to decide tomorrow who will be working which date (four salesman, two in on each of these days). Some of the guys have already made plans for the festive period, these will need to be changed.

 

To make matters worse we will be open until 5pm instead of usual Bank Holiday 4pm, and as my contract says I am expected to work what I'm told to work I will not be paid any extra money.

And you wonder why I no longer post on here with comments like that. Some of you really are the architects of your own doom.
