I jacked the car up while I was there and I think the chain was wrapped around the steering arm although I wasn't too sure. It started feckin' raining too so the flask of tae would have been welcome!
I was waiting in the car wondering what to do and the NCPS van drove around. Two ignorant fellas of the highest order knocked on my window asking me was I paying by cash or card. I tried to question the legality of the whole situation and swiftly got told where to go. After a bit of questioning and not getting a reply I paid the €85 fine. It killed me handing over the money.
:mad:
Still though, every cloud and all that, because as they drove around they spotted some car in the pay and display area whose time disc had expired so they pulled up and got out ready to clamp it I assumed.
I legged it over to the machine and threw €2 in. Gave whoever owned the car another 4 hours parking, attached it to the windscreen and took a photo. The face on the NCPS's guys face when he came back and saw it was priceless..
Fair fecks to ya for helping out the other bloke, that's really lovely to read.pred racer wrote: »I was just thinking what a motors garage would look like:p
I can see a load of folks sitting around a car arguing about what was wrong with it and Nissan Doc, Row and george dalton sitting like judges, telling us what was actually wrong with it:D
A few jobs in this garage would be
RJ receptionist, good luck to anyone who wants to argue about their bill
MM, car wash
Test Transmission, exhaust dept
SH, spoiler dept
Dgt, engine removal
Gary and lightening, race team
Colm mcm and matt simms, R&D
Gollywog........photography;)
Me 166man and Stheno in the alfa dept (obviously with fcuck all to do;) )
Lots of folk in the vw and bmw dept, flat oot!
bubblewrap.....no clue
Any more nominations for positions in ths new enterprise? :pac:
Should MM not be in the detailing department? Bit insulting having him just washing cars?
Jaysus, you don't want me in the alfa department, I'd know what was wrong but I wouldn't be able to fix it.
Actually on reflection, I'd tell you and 166 what I thought was wrong and wreck your heads
Bubblewrap could be chief tea maker (I need lots of tea)
Also would we have a nespresso machine?
I'd fear for the future of the garage with RJ on reception thoI`m also pretty good at the following:
Knowing how in theory to fix something, start it and halfway through realise I am way out of my depth,panic and then give it to a proper mechanic.
I'm similiar, know how something needs to be fixed, but lacking the attention to detail to do it 0 -

That's obvious. We need someone quiet, who doesn't really get involved in the meaningless tasks and banality of everyday life, someone who likes things to run well without getting too involved - Alanstrainor
Stheno - that was aimed at paed.....I mean pred racer

Me of course, everything I know about cars is as a result of google, so I haven't a clue, use google as a diagnostic tool, and assume I am right all of the time.
I am however very flexible on fag breaks and team building 0 -

And you just did your first boss-type job by promoting me from "car wash" to head of detailing thank you boss! 0 -

Good call, but does that mean we have to fix silver cars too?

Exactly, I recognised your unique skills and experience that would enhance our reputation

Eh here, now I spent ages wondering why there were pictures of his house in the MPS ad until I realised it was a reflection, I reckon he's worked his way up and I've proved my boss abilitieschallengemaster wrote: »By fix you mean respray them, right?
Yes, at a minimum charcoal grey, I'll give you a nice booth and all.Made me laugh out loud reading that for the first time today, cheers!
It would be the funniest thing actually if there was a motors garage... They decent mechanics would be there working away and we'd all be arguing and tying SH down as we collectively fit a spoiler to his Impreza. :pac:
Jaysus, it would be worth it just to put a spoiler on his car Hee hee hee, we could tie him to the lift thing you put cars on, and set it at maximum height so he has a bird eye view of the destruction 0 -

Until you confuse me with a picture of a pink car looking red, and appearing like a house in the picture, you shall have the title of junior bottle car washer.
However I might be prepared to pay a premium for an excellent photographer?0 -
