You should see the fucking AWFUL b&w pressed plates on a 1976 ro80. Gah! Phil Blake supplied that car from his hoard, and wasn't too happy about the plates.....

cort1977 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The missus loves that Salvage show, I saw a trailer for the classic car one and just knew that it would be annoying based on some of the things he has done to old furniture that just make you think 'what are you doing?'. Still, he clearly knows more than me about what sells as he is where he is and i am wasting time on the internet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they've said they'll put me through CompTIA... Nice! Wish I could find that. I've resorted to standing outdoors in head to toe goretex laying cables. I'll only be on more money after a year.

rusty_vw_man Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Some dozy old twat has just reversed his Picasso into my van. His rear door caught my bumper. It caved his door in and popped off a load of his trim which he then ran over. I had to flag him down to stop, as he hadn’t realised he’d done it, but then he launched into a proper foul mouthed rant at me and my 2 year old the abridged version being about how accidents happen and why was I so bothered about a bit of damage to my van. So I’m grumpy that there isn’t a mandatory retest for blind old coffin dodgers who can’t see a 2m high van in their mirrors and then don’t even realise when they’ve hit it.

We often get face-offs we're people won't give way. Often the drivers get verbal and on occasion violent. The whole road needed re-surfacing years ago but since austerity this happens every winter. That's the sub-base next to vehicles. I guess the yellow circle means the Council will be round to put a crude patch of tarmac in bag down at some point - it won't last long. Brilliant!

Report him to the police for leaving the scene of an accident and make comments about his eyesight. The police will likely send some plod round to his house and give him a basic eye test.

Jamie Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Fucking solicitors Everything is sorted with my mortgage, every thing is sorted with my buyers mortgage, there is literally nothing left to do from either of our parts but buyers solicitor has been sat on the case since the 9th of December. I've phoned her up to chase and got met with the "I can't talk to you bye" my buyer has chased her (his own solicitor) who informed him she hasn't got round to it yet and will be done in due course. I wish they had an actual time frame to do these things in rather than picking and choosing when they want to pick things up as they please ?

This is the issue these days, people’s complete disrespect for your stuff - ‘It’s only a van what are you moaning about’. As above I’d contact the police, once they get wind he can’t drive properly any more they’ll be round to find out more. Having said that they’ll trot out the usual about lack of resources - can’t remember last time I saw the traffic police! myglaren and rusty_vw_man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
