Jesus wept, I'm going to kick the ****e out of the next tyre fitter using a impact wrench to tighten nuts. I nearly slipped a disc trying to loosen wheel nuts on a C5 there.

They're only meant to be tightened to 90NM ffs :mad:

They're supposed to initially put on the nuts using the impact wrench then tighten them by hand.

I right well know that. Most places are lazy and just impact them until they turn no more. Pain in the behind taking them off

Already spent what I saved on some Teng tools while I was waiting for the car to be done. Tripart is very reasonable for teng tools.

Needed a second pull bar for a job there recently. I got a teng one there for 38 euro. Halfords' one was the same price .

TT, did you take that photo using a toaster?? :P

When I was booking my holidays 2 weeks ago, I initially wanted last week from Wednesday off but when I heard that we were due a heatwave this week, I booked that off too

My reign of terror with crappy quality photos seems to be under huge threat lately..... :eek:

I know I'm just mad that I didn't pick this week for my hols.

Washed the car this evening, it looked like I had murdered someone with the amount of dead flies and their blood all over it

Sure pop over to Cusco and say hello!

Some oulfella arsehole tried to parlell park infront of my car, he reversed too much and hit the front of my car hard enough to set of the alarm.

He ignored it and walked on, kinda annoyed me but no damage was done when I checked.

Never the less one of my mates was with me and decided to pick up one of the three waterguns in the car and soak the fu,cker as revenge. He got annoyed and started shouting abuse but sure we were already driving away !

Some people !

Fair enough he nudged your car but soaking the guy like that is beyond retarded.

Never mind your crappy photo crown, the smokiest car in existence crown is also under threat.

Was stuck behind a Golf GT TDI last night that was pushing out some amount of soot on the stillorgan dual carriageway.

Never said there was anything right about it and I didn't do it.

My window lock button won't lock the front passenger Window and it would be more retarded to try wrestle someone while driving a car just to take a water gun off him.

No, he shouldnt have crashed into Kopparberg's car. I would have done the same.

Actually, I would probably report the incident and claim off his insurance for a new bumper.

coolisin

I'd be running over to the f**ker to let him know what he had done and explain himself.

And get all his details thank you very much.

You could actually get into trouble with the soaking though.

In other news I just saw my old civic driving through dublin city just now ... my heart started racing when I saw it. Being driven by a fine looking bird !

That's no excuse dude, if you were taking off you could have stopped or avoided that. And driving off makes no difference.

No he shouldn't have, never said it was acceptable either. The proper thing to do is explain it to him rather than assault him FFS. And making up a claim for no damage wont work either.

I'm not getting on a high horse here or wish to appear that way. My point is simple - soaking some old fella cowardly, childish carry on. Coming on here giving out about it I can understand but boasting about getting revenge on him is pathetic. And before you say you weren't KS&L that's the way the post reads. Interweb hardman:rolleyes:
