Check for a mis-shaped back tyre, if so, remove, hang off neck of person pissing you off most and add fire.

Tyre blew out on focus on 60 mph Road. Arse clenching moment. Pulled up,went to Jack it up on jack point and the sill collapsed. Sheets of bitumen, rust and news of the world 2005. If it's going too good to be true it usually is. Now needs new sill,abs and traction control lights are on and I've got a metallic thudding noise from engine under load started last night. This is really the fucking cherry on the cake now. Fuck this I want out.

How long is the MOT? Just run it till the end and bridge it, nothing you've described stops it being usable.

[Pillock]

Well, apart from only having three tyres. But yeah, if it's got a stereo in you've already fixed the engine noise. Bit of black tape for the warning lights, bit* more for the sills.

[bub2006]

Mot till April. I like the car though. It's just final straw with all shite what I'm going through.

[chaseracer]

What Pillock said.

 

Or... send it across the block at Cannock on Saturday and drive home in something else.  We'll be there to support* you.

 

[bub2006]

I've not got cash else I'd be there. Trouble is like I said I'd go looking for a medium size auto and cone out with a feckin spec lift or something daft

[andy18s]

Spec lift has Chaseracers name all over it.......

Off work due to a chest infection, a complication of the weekend man flu, caught off my 2 yr old. Little twat.

[Honey Badger]

Signed off for 3 weeks with a fucked back, when i actually asked for reduced hours this is going to cause a metric fuckton of hassle at work as im already in the capability process due to having time off with my back.

 

I wouldnt mind but I'm the only person in my department whos work is up to date even with the time off.

 

I also had my blood pressure checked.....158/107.

 

Shit, maybe id better lie down for a bit. About 3 weeks.

Facebook (where else) and a tanker has overturned on the M56, one lid has opened and chemicals are pissing out of it. Someone supplied a close up picture, it's fairly dodgy stuff ('toxic liquid with inhalation hazard') which tells it's own story.

Loads of comments, is there a single one worrying about the driver? Is there a single one concerned about chemicals leaking and motorists nearby? No, it's all moaning about being held up, 'Bout time lorry drivers take some bloody responsibility rather than driving like idiots' and people complaining because they had to turn round.

Maybe they should find these simpletons and invite them to drive or walk through the accident scene and do everyone a favour.

Happily it wasn't them who barred me then!

 

The Church is on Newgate Street, back of the precinct and (as the name suggests) used to be a church. Fair play, it's stunning inside, definitely the best looking pub in a long, long way and very popular.

Wetherspoons are ace, cheap ale and no frills, that'll do for me.

Oh that place. I know it, there was a queue to get in and bouncers last time I went to get the car from the multi-storey on a Saturday night.

I have my own views on queuing for pubs. I swear the door staff are told to hold people back to make some pubs look popular, as we've often waited for ages and walked in to find them half empty.

This.

I have long since f'd off the local for playing silly buggers like this of a Friday night.

Cycling home this evening I hear a car approaching along the country lane. They're not speeding along and I'm coming up to a long straight section that it's easy to overtake on.

 

They ( turns out it's she later) waits until after the corner to get a good view and then pulls out with a wide overtake into the opposite lane straight into the path of the oncoming Beemer. Both came to a dead stop about metre apart, luckily.

 

To the bmw drivers credit they did nothing rude or violent, but what possessed the driver of this Peugeot 306 I do not know.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Same as the bloke in the Merc today...

 

I was in my shogun with car trailer on with car on on a long country road. He was right up my arse for miles even on the straights when it was totally clear. Finally overtook in a village in a 30 zone

[wuvvum]

Sat at the side of the road waiting for the AA, for the third time in as many months. It appears that all Vauxhalls are indeed shit.

As a volunteer fire fighter, this boils my piss on a semi-regular basis, as road closures do not come lightly. I can take the perspective of an upset motorist round here though, especially when the detours can add over an hour to the journey and they may only be a mile or so from home and we can't tell them why the road is closed. However, it's usually because someone's been killed - we'll gladly inform of chemicals being spilt etc. especially if non-one's been injured. I'm sure the mega stroppy ones would calm down a bit if we told them that someone's been fatally injured and that we'll be waiting for a few hours on scene before the police have finished their investigations so we can cut them out of the car but in reality, that would benefit no-one and it'd be extremely disrespectful to the victims and their families. 

 

On a similar note, when one lane has been re-opened and drivers are being guided past the aftermath of a crash, it's unbelievable how many passengers are taking pictures on their phones. Really makes you want to launch something at them but the worst I can administer is a pissed off glare as they pass.

The only time I have ever deliberately sat on someone's rear bumper while revving and gesticulating angrily, is when passing an accident scene. I'm not saying it was a good thing to do (it wasn't, at all), but it relieved my anger just enough that I didn't have to lean out the window and scream obscenities at them, and it's not as though I was risking another major incident, not at 20mph.

I understand the desire to know roughly what's happened, and I'll usually cast the briefest of sideways glances myself out of curiosity, but I will never fathom the morbid f**kwittery that causes the dribbling proles to slow right down and gawp as though they're passing a carnival parade. I just hope that if they're unlucky enough to end their days in a twisted blood-spattered wreck, the last thing they see is an equivalent number of mildly retarded cretins staring with slack-jawed fascination at them.

I hate rubber neckers on the motorway too, usually the debris is well off the carriageway but they still slow down giving miles of tailbacks.

 

But that's nothing compared to how much I hated them when I was the one sat on the grass verge after an accident and people got out to take photos of the mangled remains of my car as I bled over the road.

Many moons ago I got a thumbs up from a policeman at the scene of an M25 megaccident as I bumper pushed a car full of rubbernecking twats away at approx 30 mph.

 

I also haz been the victim of photgraphing twats mainly because I blocked the M2 at rush hour by spreading my car across all lanes. No blood though.

 

Still grumped by fucking solicitors etc.

Dashboard light bingo again. Eyes down for a full house. Joining the abs and traction control light are the newcomers eml and auto box warning light.
