Wonder how the insurance will work out there?

Mot centre are responsible id say since they take the car of us at the door

The Legend Himself rang me earlier after some brake line issues today
MOT centres are pure cunts when it comes to making brake lines leak
It's all I lift from there lately is brake lines, cunts are swinging on them they have to be.

On the plus side I got to hear what the new exhaust sounded like, very nice

Just one of those things Skiny, cheers for the helping hand.

An expensive taxi home but I'll dig into it tomorrow all being well.

All part of the classic Toyota ownership experience!

 

[SKINY]

No worries Bro
Rarest car I've had on so far
The Black 1 just disappeared, maybe went to English land ? It was owned by an Elite autos mechanic then they had it up for sale, think it was 7K

 

[SKINY]

Some people just get themselves into stupid situations lmfao
Reversed in and dropped the bed then ran the winch cable to the towbar and pulled it out backwards, was bogged right down to the sump
Needed few cuts to get the truck in the drive too

 

[SKINY]

New airbags came earlier we use these to break into cars damage free, have a set of rods we use with them too.

 

[SKINY]

Metro plates should be standard
Can't wait to the better weather to get a good clay bar session going then good few coats of Meguires Carnuba Wax
Few other minor changes coming soon lmfao
I can't leave anything alone......

 

[SKINY]

This 1 came through as,
My Son has had an accident but has now parked in a layby but has 1 wheel bogged and just needs pulled out.
OK then.....
Jay that's the road at top of carriageway links onto Comber road, at the chicane passing the big new build
What youse can't see in the pictures is the 8 foot drop into a river that the drivers rear wheel was hanging over, another few MPH and He would have been in.
Inexperience and too much speed going by the skid marks


New Main beam and side light bulbs came, could swear I ordered LED Mains but nope fslool
They might be good tho who knows

 

[SKINY]

Got my bulbs fitted this evening top pic is just sidelights lol, all new tops, markers and headlight sides, new main beams in too but I ordered them wrong, xenon not led so they are getting ordered and 4 LEDs for the spotlights,
Trucks looking class now, just have to talk the boss into some alloys next.......

[SKINY]

Early morning bath before hitting the roads today come the better weather it will be getting clayed and machine polished

 

[SKINY]

VW Golf key broke in the ignition, its 1 of those flip keys so just put the other half back on and started it up
Customer didn't want to drive home in case it fell out lol so loaded it up and took Her home where she had a spare key

 

[SKINY]

Why people pay 150 grand for these baffles me lol.
I'm sure this won't be the 1st time it's on a breakdown truck

 

[SKINY]

When the Breakdown truck Breaks down........
Main hydrolic hose blew soon as went to put the bed up tank emptied in a matter of seconds
5 hours later back on the road

 

[SKINY]

1 of those days lol. Not actually sure what was holding the golf's wheel in place lol. It went on with a forklift and then chained to the fence and drove the truck out from under it yeehaaaw
Bodyshop don't know why it's there as it came from the salvage yard so it's going straight back as its clearly wrote off will be my luck getting it tomorrow to go back lmfao

The Hilux I've seen driving about the place recently, it broke the flange on the centre propshaft Fella brought it in from English land last year as a run about and I was all over it lol, underneath its like new, not a sniff of the dreaded orange stuff, bodywork and paint is in excellent factory condition with a few wee silly dings, 91000 miles too so it's been used and loved, he bought it from the original owner too

 

[SKINY]

Today's adventures we really could be anywhere loool
Left my house at 8 and lifted a Courtesy car from Belfast, then dropped it at sandycove Ireland, then onto Kildare to pick the broken car up then back to the yard in Belfast
Funny story....
The recovery boy that lifted it left me the wrong key
Key wouldn't work so I dragged it on and carried on up the road, got to lisburn and he rings me and tells ne he's gave me wrong keys fs so whoops.
He's driving up to my house in the morning to swap them over

 

[SKINY]

Man had a 5 hour round trip this morning to bring me the proper key and collect his 1
