The grumpy thread

[meggersdog]

Has person A had a good look around this vehicle ?In his haste to swap cars perhaps person B forgot he left a stash of drugs in the car then less than 48 hours later remembered.Can't very well phone person A with " 'ere mate you couldn't take the glovebox out and retreive the kilo of coke I taped to the inside of the dash,could you" Maybe he tried taking out a loan against the other car to pay his supplier.

Tourists. London. Tourists in London.

Avoid May 8th then as 2 more will be wandering the streets.

[pogweasel]

As long as you don't congregate with hundreds of other tourists around the ticket barriers at victoria station (or anywhere else for that matter), acting like twats because you don't understand that you need to put your ticket in the slot, one at a time, or fucking about at the top of the escalators., or generally getting in the way with your stupid bag-on-wheels....

Just seen I had a nice birthday present last Monday:Letter from the bank informing me I'm overdrawn and don't have an overdraft agreement on that account.As I knew perfectly well there was cash in the account and wages went in yesterday, checked online and there is a BT Openzone debit logged for six quid. I have 300 minutes a month free and have only used about 50 minutes worth in the last three years. My BT accounts are paid from a different account anyway.Also a £330 debit to Swinton. What? AFAIK I have never been insured through them, LVIC for the past 6~8 years and Churchill prior to that, again, direct debit from another account.Phoned the bank and they had spotted all this oddness and blocked the card, loads more attempted purchases including Domino's Pizza - I don't think there is one anywhere near here and I have certainly never darkened their door, can't stand takeaway pizza.Lucky I was able to fill up last Friday night - maybe (£77.07p ) - maybe should have said that that wasn't me The real bummer is not so much the swiped money but the overdraft charges, £5 per day and £25 per item.Also no credit card for a week to ten days. Nearest bank branch is ten miles away (never been in one of their branches - it's an old Girobank account that was always accessed through the P.O.)

Hopefully won't come to that as it is a fraudulent action - have yet to speak to their fraud squad.

The succession of fucking idiots who've so far tried to buy the 318is.Last night, girl rings and asks about the car, I tell her ok and she says she'll bring her boyfriend along. Give her the address and when I get home there she is, with boyfriend and his mate who I'm pretty sure is a legendary car body bodger. I've seen him somewhere, and I have a feeling he had a big tub of filler when I did see him.Girl "Oh, it's damaged", Me "Yeah, it says that in the advert, that's why it's cheap"Her b/f "It's top money for one of those, I can get a new shape one for less"Me "Oh, can you? For a grand? Can you get me 10? I'll have them tonight, in fact, tell me where they are and I'll send a transporter"HBF "You're not negotiable on the price then?"Me "Not very, a small chip, maybe, but I sense you're gonna try and make an offer that includes me buying a whole new 1/4 panel and getting BMW to fit it for you."HBF "I can get a new shape...."Me "Well, go get me a new shape one with this mileage, and I'll give you this one, and a grand for it."HBF "Mileage isn't a problem on these, 200k wouldn't worry me on a BMW"Me "So you can drive this for 140k with no worries then, cheap isn't it?"B/f's mate "It's had paintwork"Me "You've got filler on your shoes, mate..."HBF "I'll give you £300"Me "Very generous, but you'll need more than that to buy my car"HBF "I'm wasting my time"Me "Yes. Good bye."Today bloke rings up "Hi mate, you want a large, quick estate? Would you be interested in a Mitsubishi FTO? It owes me £2k. I'll do you a swap.."Tonight an e-mail "Hi mate, will you take £700 cash tomorrow? I'm a genuine bidder..."FUCKING WANKERS THE LOT OF 'EM.

I hear you Pete. My dad's been trying to sell his Merc E220 Auto Estate. It's in the local paper, £950 ono. With 11 months MOT and tax until the end of May. It's in pretty good condition, but there are a few knocks and scrapes here and there, which you would expect for a 15 year old car that's done 178k. It's had the self levelling suspension replaced, recent tyres and exhaust, and a load of Merc and independent specialist service history. Here are the twats we've had ringing up so far:Twat No.1: Rings up about the car, wants to know age, if it's got the seven seats (which it has) and best price. Then asks the mileage. "Oh, it's too dear"Twat No.2: Lady who wants to know if it's got twin airbags (which it has) and best price. Then asks mileage. "Oh, that's too high for us, we're looking for something with a lower mileage". Well 178k is just run in for one of these Mercs! And the price reflects it's not immaculate.Twat No.3: Rings up, asks loads of questions, arranges to view at 4:30, never turned up desite waiting in all afternoon and evening for him Twat No.4: Rings up, says she is interested in the car for her daughter as they had one stolen, well they turn up, husband and mother in law, MIL says "Oh no, it's exactly the same as the one she had stolen, we can't buy that, it's freaky" wtf! And the husband proceeded to walk round the car pointing out every bit of damage (a small scrape on the rear passenger door, a small dent on the bonnet, and a few small stone chips) said the price was too high and walked off. My dad had mentioned the car wasn't perfect on the phone!What is it with some people?

[Mr Lobster]

What is it with some people?

They are wankers who expect to get a 'bargain' and are deluded enough not to expect that a car at that age and mileage will have a few marks and bits ad pieces.

[Mr Lobster]

Moving on from Gayshite...I took my 02 to my local ATS garage yesterday as i have a blowing downpipe, They popped it onto the ramp to have a look and whist i was standing there waiting a bloke from the garage across the road who i don't know was also there looking at it."You know that's been in a bad smash, all the wing alignment is wrong" he goes, "That been in a real bad smash, Bet all the chassis is twisted as well (It's not), That's not good" he goes on turning his nose up.By now my shit is starting to itch, How fuckin rude of someone to start slagging someone else's car of, He doesn't even work there!.He then carries on going on how the 1602 aren't a very nice car and how he would have a 2002 any day, and how much better the earlier round light shape was.How i didn't tell him to fuck off i never know, And i still never got my exhaust leak fixed.

[Angrydicky]

What a knob. Your 1602 is lovely Trigger :)Is the exhaust blow from the manifold to downpipe joint? In which case careful cleaning up of the joints, a new exhaust clamp and a trolley jack to get the down pipe wedged deep into the manifold should stop it blowing
