Start of a new chapter

[SKINY]

Police chased this all over Belfast this morning, 2 Boys wiped of there faces, got a bag of gear and decided to HIRE a car and drove it like cunts everywhere until they got boxed in

Made such a tailback at 5:30 in Dundonald lifting it, can't lift them off paths,have to be on the road, people started blasting the horns so out went the cones and closed 1 lane off give them something to beep about
1 clown I thought was going to drive onto the spec lift, he had to reverse back with Me just looking at him shaking my head and half laughing

National Drink/Drug Driver day ffs
5 Police jobs, 7 cars and 1 Van all in. Have not stopped from 11PM last night
The top 1 was fun, Audi convertible rolled many times, inside was dripping with blood, didn't need into it tho, good old J hook sorted it

 

[SKINY]

Electric vehicles are the future........
Not even 2 year old, had to jump start it the olde fashion way with a booster pack lol
12V battery shit itself but it's fully charged but won't do anything without 12V power lmfao what
Back to the dealer with this POS

 

[SKINY]

Wait all day for a Bus then 2 come at the same time

 

[SKINY]

Fun and games with heavy long shit
My bed is 7 meters and couldn't get it any more forward
3.5 ton of floating about 40mph max up the M2

 

[SKINY]

Was worried all day then finally the last job back to the yard,
Range Rover vogue lol
This 1 suffered a coolant leak that led to under bonnet temperature off 100 degrees and a distinct smell of burning plastic, Fire bridge job to cool it down to 20 degrees before I would load it, last thing I want is a burning vehicle on the bed lol
It's under warranty so will be off to JLR Boucher road on Monday
They are absolutely totally shite, wouldn't take 1 for free. All mass produced Chinese shite the last 10 years
JLR(Jaguar Land Rover)have 26 service bays and they are never with 1 empty, currently if leaving 1 in the wait time for a 1st look at them is mid December
Bags of absolute shite

Mental Day Today
Started of heading into Ards and witnessed car vs cyclist
It happened in slow motion, cyclist 20 foot in the air straight up and straight down.
2 cars where in front of me and then the 2 cyclists, lead car decided to overtake them on a totally blind bend, another car came round opposite way and took evasive again and went into a 180 degree slide and collected 1 cyclist on its way into the ditch.
I stopped immediately and put all the lights etc on and was 1st on scene then rang the emergency services.
Then a bus with 40 odd school kids went into a Field.
And some cunt in a builders van nearly cleaned me out doing a recovery up Craigantlet hills, I had no choice but close the road for 5 minutes so out with the cones, fucking clampit drove right round a car that had stopped, straight through my cones smashing 1 to bits and nearly hitting Me and just carried on absolutely no fucks gave and flying

Looks like a wild day out!

Mental Monday for sure Bud

Today was good, all nice drive on/off jobs
Went to lift an "accident damaged non runner non driver" earlier. 4 mangled rims, must have hit a good few kerbs lol, service manager was interested in how I would go about putting it on the lorry and came out to watch, dropped the bed and drove that shitbox straight on, he was bemused, " how ya getting it off again Mate ? "
In reverse Mate, bye
1st thing we do when someone sais it doesn't run is try, if it does end up running and drives it saves you time getting the winch and straps out

 

[SKINY]

Can't park there Mate loool
1st thing I did was check it started and the steering wasn't damaged, 2nd was drivers window down, 3rd dropped the body and got the winch on the towbar, 4th guided it on with hand through window, 5th fucked off to the repair shop lol
All in from arrival to departure 9 minutes
Love a towbar, they should be standard haha

 

[SKINY]

Stopped at this on way home with a courtesy car on board to help My Mate and Trainer out
It took us to use the 2 trucks to pull them apart, and they didn't come easy.
I put the Audi on the Specialist lift behind the truck and Darren got the BMW and Trailer, 3rd car involved too up the road a bit but he called his own recovery truck
Saturday night sure what else would ya be at
Fucking beer that's what and that's the plan until the wee hours now lol

Been asking Police every time I seen them which is a lot lately but nobody knows anything
She was conscious and talking away and knew what happened when the Ambulance took her away, 5 seconds slower the car would have took her and the husband into the ditch and a different story probably

 

[SKINY]

VW van gang lol
Of to the trade centre where all the shite goes

Road sweeper yesterday that had a hydrolic leak, 75L of oil all over the bed straight into the workshop to unload in a bay kinda job, plenty of room inside for trucks, no oil left so no transmission as they are hydrolicly drove, was that much oil on the bed it just slid right off all 4 wheels locked solid lol, couldn't have went any better.
Then today another smaller 1 same shit won't move and hardly room to swing a cat in the yard, had to get loads of cars moved and then work out where to winch it from as no tow hook, so round the front end it went and on it came, had to use the Slippy Jim's for that 1 going on and off, it was a cluster fuck from start to finish but the job was done
Because they are Council machines that leak the Council are responsible for washing my Truck down after lol, twice this week so far they have did it

 

[SKINY]

Today's episode of "you can't park there mate"
Damage free recovery well apart from what the customer done
1st thing was jacking it up so the rear wheel was same height as kerb and supported it with bricks/wood. 2nd was building a ramp to come down off, used more wood and 1 off my Ferrari loading ramps. 3rd was another truck was called because I needed more wood, got a half sleeper brought with a very experienced Man and we swapped the bits out for the sleeper then another bit to raise it level. 4th thing was I got in and drove it very very slowly of the kerb and down the ramp
I did ask the office for a Range Rover up a tree but this was the best they could manage lmfao

 

[SKINY]

Tight spots no problem
Had not even a foot at either side, busy narrow double lane road with a verge.
Seen a gap and just blocked the road and reversed in
We don't do driveways but the car was sitting 14 months and didn't run so it had to go up the drive.

Hurst,s are starting to clear all the shite from there workers car park, I was eyeing up a Range rover too that was white but now green with algae and shite growing from it

 

[Calum122]

Fair play @SKINY that's some driving there. You sound like you're loving this new career!
