Well

 

How did my day start?

 

Phone call and two photos from Sally. 

 

She goes to work at 5.00am and stopped to fill her cars fuel tank. 

 

 

Opened the fuel filler door and found paper shoved down the neck that had been set alight and clearly, thankfully didn’t ignite and burn out her car and the garage’s and cars around her car. 

 

So Some fuckweasels tried to set Sally’s car alight last night.

 

She never pisses anyone off except me. 
She won’t even let me do a BBQ at her house in case it upsets any of her neighbors
 

So the question is……. WTF do you do about it. 

 

Do the police actually give a flying pigs worth about this stuff?? 

 

We are constantly being told what we can and cannot do but when someone does it……. 

 

Who picks up the pieces? 

 

If these inbred scum jad set her car alight, and it damaged other peoples cars or set the block of garages alight, who is blamed ?  

 

Sally ?? 

 

Just extremely angry.

Footage. 

It’s clear he was trying others as well. 

BUT…… you can see Sally’s car was already opened and paper shoved in that he lit up.  

 

 

Posted

What that does show, I think, is that Sally wasn’t targeted specifically. That fucker was out to damage anything. Hopefully it won’t be long before he’s identified.

Where's the fuel cap? Did he force it off? Whilst the bloke is clearly a wrong 'un, he also appears to be completely inept. At least he didn't manage to set any of the cars alight. I'd imagine he's some sort of stoned opportunist with little better to do with his time.

Correct.  
 

Doesnt change the effect on people. 
 

And……

 

 

Sally tried to report it. 

Police service is not SERVING 

Despite a specific part of our yearly taxes being collected for policing. 

She ended up doing it online. 



Did you know “Service “ is what a Stallion does to a Mare? 

Yes, a stallion can service a mare through a process called natural service, or live cover: 



Often I feel like I am being serviced by those who are supposed to serve, not service.

No fuel cap? How does that work with mot and escaping fumes? Or does the outer fuel flap form a basic seal or something?

Sally saw this guy ride by her when walking the dog.  Uncanny resemblance to arsonist??

 

Or just being neurotic?

[sherlock holmes voice]They do appear to be similarly, even identically attired Watson...[\sherlock holmes voice]

Probably wise not to jump to conclusions... 

Does she know the scrote?

Arson is a pretty major crime WTF are the police up to not to be all over it ?

hope it gets sorted soon for all your sakes.

Seems to be a known quantity. 
 

Father locked up. 
 

Had the wrath of others tended his way, seems someone smashed their cars up on the driveway after he pissed someone off……

It seems case closed. 
 

Police are just not interested. 
 

They came out recently because someone is throwing stones into someone’s yard and at the conservatory. 
 

But real crime……..?? 
 

Of course if someone said a rude or racist thing they would be all over it.

Headed out of Nashville towards Memphis via back roads and then back towards St Louis

We stopped and started as needed.

Maybe more than needed.

 

We were both burned out and crashed into a motel by 5.30

 

Mexican for dinner. 

 

Amazing staff, breakfast the next day. 

 

Exactly what I expect from a road trip. 

 

America as expected.

Tut, tut , sugar on Chorros ...😁

And condensed milk. 
 

To be honest, quite underwhelming. 
 

Had better from street vendors.  
 

 

But my Tilapia was excellent and we had half of @CraigRK dinner the next day for lunch.

George is a dick. 

 

Seriously. 

 

Though his behaviour makes me chuckle and lovehim more. 

 

You have to wonder what he’s thinking. 

 

I am building a shed extension. 

 

So I lay plastic under my workmate to catch most of the sawdust. 

 

George patrols and watches me when I’m outside working. 

 

Comes up, gives me the nod, inspects said plastic and sawdust, climbs In between the legs and pees there. 

 

This morning we stand looking out the back door then we walk around the garden and he proceeded to do it again. 

 

Superstar Dickhead for sure.

Anyone owned a Proton Jumbuck ?? 
 

Advice on buying or running away. 
 

 

This is the advertisement. 
 

Do I buy another car I don’t need but have wanted one of for 10 years?? 
 

Or do I run like Friar Tuck ??

 

I can weld. 

 

Look at the Micra that was pretty rotten. 
 

 

HOWEVER………. Juddering gearbox faults may be a bad thing. 
 

Seems it has only done 88k miles.  
 

Spares and Repairs 

 

Juddering and running rich

Undiagnosed Issue with the gear box 

Dent in side 

Seals have been repaired multiple times

Can’t afford to keep it going and can’t doit my self. 

 

£400.00 ONO rather someone took it on than scrap it but I need it gone asap.

Yes they can rust, but can you go wrong at that price if you really want one. Surely not many left now so get one while you can.

 Is this lambda reading something that I should worry about?? Or is it an “easy fix”

It'll break for more than that, surely? Absolute barg, regardless of outcome.

jumbucks seem to be getting rather rare now so may be worth picking it up while its still there! even if it dose need work!

cant remember did the 206 cc find a forever home?

still catching up on the usa trip vids!

also is that insulation polystyrene? and if so is it not rather nasty if it becomes ignited?
