My next door neighbour is upset. She is from Leicester and just had the reg L16 WON put on her new ML panzer command vehicle.

 

As long as they know what it means I guess that's what matters. Even if no one else on the road does...

£208 .

What does that figure mean?

To the Metropolitan SD1 driving lawyers and publishers amongst us , maybe a cheeky bottle in El Vino's at lunchtime on dress down Friday.

 

To those of a more Northerley disposition , a pied-a-terre in The Lakes for weekend getaways, perhaps.

 

In Volvoland that figure could buy a little piece of land- Fair Isle, say.

 

Or it could buy a little bit of rubber-fucking-pipe, specifically the bit that connects the intercooler to the turbo on a poxy Fritzshitmobile!

Now this time last week I purchased a complete automobile for £8 less, admittedly it was a Peugeot . Ironically my daughter drove past me in that Peugeot , whilst I was broken down yesterday.

Mercedes had the pipe in stock but I couldn't bring myself to buy it, good job too there are aftermarket ones online for £120 and secondhand ones for £40.

Today is my wedding anniversary and I've booked a nice restaurant , which will probably cost around £200 , the sum I got for the w202 in the week.

Should I cancel the meal and spend £208 on a new pipe which guarantees full blowing and sucking action or chance a secondhand pipe and go out, which will guarantee................

Is L17 DWN still available?

Round here £208 would get 4 lots of suck and blow with £8 left for a raffle...

I assume you're talking about a dual action vacuum cleaner for £50?

 

(If you're talking about having your pink flute tuned by a lass behind the pub, then you're overpaying!)

shouldn't that read "Ironically my daughter stopped for me in that Peugeot , whilst I was broken down yesterday."

You'd think.

There's not many brown E Classes around , it's got a plate on it we've had for 15 years, and....Oh yes her Father was standing behind it. Not a glimmer of recognition .

And you'd end up in The Tower, or have you got another neighbour?

Had the "new" LDV Pilot with the knackered engine dropped off today to the inlaws house. It was dropped at the end of the road as it was a bit too tight to get the trailer up. Within 10 minutes of it being dropped off I had nosy neighbours eyeballing me and a gang of feral kids started messing about with it, which really pissed me off. One of the neighbours even came out and "started" on me as I have him a dirty look back. Apparently he thought I was a Gypsy and was possibly trying to steal his neighbours caravan.

 

FML, I'm at the the stage where I'm being mistaken for a Gypsy!

 

After I explained what was going on he was fine and even offered to lend a hand.

 

It's just mega annoying when you're trying to deal with your shite and the whole bastard neighbourhood stands in their front windows staring at you. To be fair a knackered van next to a caravan does look a bit dodgy.

Ah, not the titled lot. We're down in the converted farm buildings. Commoners as we are!

Giver her a cuddle, offer her a Werthers Original, chat about the weather?

Rumour had it that you could get your undercarriage serviced in Sheffield for a tenner

This thing is pissing me off now.

Two weeks to the day after spending £788.50 on a new transmission ecu, the engine just stopped whilst driving at 60 mph.

RAC revealed airflow codes, a quick call to Merc specialist ( I refuse to say "indie"- too pissedonheads) had them advise RAC guy to disconnect boost pipe, which enabled me to go home with no boost.

Not the end of the world , but I've lost faith in this thing, I'm looking at Jag XFs and Chrysler 300s on Autotrader at the moment. Fuck the Fritzes !

To fund the £££ repairs, sell the private plate to a lady of the night, possibly from Yorkshire. Ms See t'you will be able to drum up business simply by driving around.

Give the Lidl italian sausage a miss. I bought some and found what looked like a mouse brain baked through it.

On the way home from work today a Police panda car was behind me, cutting across double whites on corners all over the shop down some NSL lanes, then when I slowed to a reasonable 33 in a 30 they actually fucking tailgated me!

 

If I'd driven like they did while following traffic plod then I'd have about 12 points.

Next time make sure you have a dash camera pointing backwards and post it on youtube think of the revenue that sort of thing earns
