Perks of the job getting to lift cars like this :)
2011 RS4 in absolutely mint condition, the noise is insanely enchanting but purely moved on tick over plus a few 100rpm as it had a coolant leak.
Wouldn't be a VAG fan at all, they are so there with hondungs but IF I HAD to have 1 it would be this exact car

Fucking Friday like a week of Mondays :(
1st job this morning was that, came through as a non starter ffs, it's been lying for 1.5 years and all wheels where seized, plus it was down a tight lane, I was in a smaller truck as you can see today and it just about squeezed down the driveway. Had to load it backwards then take it out onto road and unload it then reload it forwards ffs. Cash job so the price doubled before I even touched it because I hada get my skills out :)
Broke a few trees on the customers lane on way out with the height but he said just send it fuck the trees lol
Because of the size and weight on the smaller truck it was 35mph max from Portaferry to Ards, about 22 miles.
The que behind me was Magnificent :)

Shite weather here all.day :( got soaked this morning loading a car on a busy garage forecourt, hada block the entrance and people where not happy, they started having a horn tooting match lmfao, I just ignored it and loaded away. Dropping the bed and winching a car on and getting the straps on and bed up again takes less than 5 minutes but people can't wait that long these days.

5 Ton camper conversion picked up there from the MOT cunts for a broken brake line
Has hydrolic levelers at the rear and only 8 inch ground clearance at them so had to use the Ferrari ramps and some short planks to raise the rear end up to avoid snagging them :)

Had a vilvo X60 in brick mode yesterday inside that garage lol, dead battery, deadlocked, wrong emergency key blade and no room round it.
Couldn't get the truck up the drive so had to do a side pull with the winch and Slippy Jim's until car was at end of drive, then moved the truck to end of drive and on it came :)

Modern cars are shit
