Can nissan note's be driven at more than 40 mph?

 

Sick of being stuck behind the bastard things - ususlly being driven by somebody who looks like they have just dug themselves out of the ground.

I think you may be right on both counts....My old man just got one, he is 80 next year.   This is the man who once brought home a Plymouth Fury......

Luckily he lives 3000 miles away so I am unlikely to have it outside my house anytime soon.

I've had 50 out of mine, but it sent my tartan rug flying off the back shelf, dislodging a box of tissues and an almost full bag of Werthers, so I will be more careful in future  :-D

I think there's a picture of LP in there somewhere too, he's kept his top on though.

 

Good to see flickr hasn't changed. Hi I'm admin for the group desperate to see tits, and I'd love you to sit on my face. etc

"I'm desperate for an alternator for my XYZ, can you sell me yours???"

 

-Agree price, go outside in the freezing cold and remove alternator, which involves removing engine mounts and moving the engine

 

"Hey, I've got your alternator!"

 

SOUND OF SILENCE.

Oh dear, I was thinking of getting one to replace Mrs Concern's dead Mk1 Clio. Aren't they shite after all?

And so the tedious wank of getting anything done it Torbay begins again. The sounds of people desperate to take my cash is inaudible.

They probably won't be open until tomorrow morning, Dave...   ;)

TAKE PAYMENT FIRST...

Absolutely correct. They even offered to pay but I told them to hold fire until I'd got it off and made sure it was OK to sell. It's in the scrap motor pile now.

Sister's focus is still on mothers driveway. Apart from buyer saying he will send a wagon after winning auction nothing has been heard.

 

I have sent him another message - this will be the last one.

 

No doubt he will end up with negative feedback and I will still have to pay the fees.

Just got my car started after two days on and off trying/charging/fiddling to get it fired after it refused to allow me to take it to Heathrow on Sunday morning.  Jumped it off the Herald in the end.  Warmed up and idled as good as ever.  Its a grump because I'm absolutely none the wiser as to why it wouldn't go.

Only thing it might be I suppose is the battery droping too many volts when cranking so will need to test that once it is cold again.

Happy new year from paypal. Before xmas some git charged back a £7 order as 'I didn't buy that honest'. Poopal says upload proof of postage and you're covered under seller protection. So I did, printout from royal mail account page.

 

I checked today and 'I've not used an approved delivery method', so they've given twunt £7 back, and charged me an additional £14 for random fees. Nice.

As the C word is banned

 

This morning was a ****ish start to the day.

 

Opened the workshop,drove two customers cars out, lowered the 4 poster down and reversed my mk10 jag out, came off the ramp on a squiffy angle and got to close to the wall

 

Scrape and hiss and the car sinks

 

I hit a sharp edge of an rsj and put a foot long slash in the wing and burst the tyre

 

What a complete ****

Oops, do you know a good garage to fix it?

I was at the local hospital last night. A paramedic informed me that there was one bed available in the north west.

 

The NHS is close to breaking point.

It's not due to money though. The NHS has loads of money, it's just the best organisation in the world at wasting it with no result.

^ really? I probably shouldn't be getting involved in a political discussion (because grumpy, cold and at work) but I can't let that pass unremarked.

The NHS is one of the most cost efficient and best health systems in the developed world.

On the 'NHS needs more money' subject some friends came round for a meal pre Christmas and the topic got raised unfortunately.

The result was not pretty... Mrs Beard has worked within the NHS for over 30 years at various levels. On the wards and finally as a non exec director at board level. More money talk is a red rag to her bull really. There is not enough money in the universe to fund the NHS as it stands. The more money put in, the more is sucked out. Very little, if any ends up at the sharp end. More meetings consisting of people on huge salaries and gold plated pensions see too that. It is a gravy train. Mrs Beard left the NHS despising the way it has become. Legions of people in fancy cars attending pointless meetings and believing that they deserve the huge salaries. Meanwhile sick people wait on trolleys in corridors and A and E is under huge pressures. It isn't about the money.
