Great,Haha well he called me today & asked when I got it done I said July as it was stamped on it
very faint but I spied it(cause I couldnt remember
said he couldnt believe it as it was all new bits, I told him I had only done 70 miles he said it was only
guaranteed for 10 haha Funny chap
I was watching a very early Wheeler Dealers tother day and Edd the Chinaplate was changing an alternator on a Lancia Integrale. Same sort of difficulty, he had to take it out from under the offside wing, after discumknockerating the suspenders.
I had a chat yessdi with Andy Saunders the funny car bloke of smallest mini fame who has done my MOTs I worked out today, for 34 years,
. He has worked with Edd on several programmes and I asked him what Edd was actually like, and he said "He knows fuck all!", and he only got where he got cos he is public school! He got jobs Andy didn't he reckons cos of that. I told him I'd read Edd's book and that he was very complimentary about him, Andy, which made him laugh. I was going to lend him the book when I went back for retest but he surprised me by saying "pop over now if you like" so i threw all the tools back in the Disco and just ran over there, through the sh!t Friday arvo traffic. Forgot the book.
Anyway he and his girlfriend are very keen to buy W's Speedster.
After we get back from Frogland.However, very sad news.
He is so ground down by his MOT and repair business, he's perpetually run off his feet as he just cannot get decent staff, that he told me quietly he is jacking it in and getting planning permission to put up flats where his business is.
So where the feck am I gonna find a decent fair MOT guy now?
Expect it'll all take time.
(Disco failed on ball joint on draglink thingy. Bit fiddly to fit but did it within an hour or so of getting the bit.)

Huh!Crap game I prefer chess
Remember that auction lot i told you about, with the two Hohner harmonicas in?
i checked and yep for £36 i did get two worth well north of £40 each.
They came with a shedload of games, including a chess set where the board was made by using two different grained woods to make the squares. Also unused sets of Trivial Pursuit (Masters version of summat), Pointless, Pub quiz, All of which went down the charity shop!
(Worth about £50 on a bad day but could'nt be bovvad to do anything about it).We're keeping the posh Boule set for 4 players and the croquet set, cos we can set it up on a piece of our land which is as flat and smooth as a ploughed field, that should be a laugh!
I've never played croquet, good thing it comes wiv rools!
All this stuff is completely unused, mad!
I used to play chess as a kid. Was totally rubbish at it. ain't got the patience or the foresight.
Quite good at draughts though.
Open the door, shut the window, piece of p!ss!!!

...and the end to a perfick day!
W used the noo hoover to hoover the lounge carpet. She is well happy with it.
Thank the lord I won't get it in the neck every time she does it unklike when she was doing it with the useless Dyson that i kept trying to persuade to work better and gifting noo brushes too, etc.
I emailed the blokey you put me on to re the trailer @kevstar. He got back to me, I was just checking it takes the old 7 pin plug.
Hopefully will be up to get it next week if he don't flog it to someone else first. Just got to get the towball and wiring in a new plug to the back of the Disco done.
So thanks for that! If his is gone there are others more or less the same for £200 more without the tie down straps.
goo nite all!!
