Lots of grumps not a great way to start the new year!
The garage that had my scudo left it parked on the road again with no tax and no insurance so it was reported to police long story short again I have filled in the form and sent it back to the DVLA saying the van was out of my control and that they need to contact the garage to get it sorted, really really really pissed off about this. (Damned thing hasn't worked in 18 months, and has cost me hundreds and acheived nothing
thankfully it's on the drive at my dads house now, but I really want it gone!)
Also GF's clio is totally buggered the immobilisor has decided it doesn't like the key any more, so needs a trip to the main dealer or to buy a dodgy override chip from the net and use that - not sure I want the hassle of either.
My landy has decided that the solinoid should just click rather than actually allowing the starter to turn the engine over, I've got a replacement plunger and contacts - but it's really dark cold and wet outside and not sure I've got the motivation to do anything about it, as it's an absolute pig to get at
Bora is now on ebay and I think the highest bidder is someone whose changed their mind, so setup a new account (zero feedback and the account was created minutes after the previous highest bid and they won't reply to my emails) I've had no end of daft phone calls from idiots wanting to know can they pay x amount and collect tomorrow - which I say no worries pay a deposit over paypal and I'll end the auction to which they reply no end the auction first - WTF!!!!! do they think I am stupid! One guy rang asking if he could collect the car that day for an agreed amount, I said yeah no probs, he then asked where the car was so I told him it's as per the auction, he was amazed and said he had no way of getting to me! WTF is wrong with these people! I'd be better off sending the stupid gay @rse car to be crushed and taking scrap value for it rather than all the hassle of stupid idiot general UK public!
I am sooooo annoyed with the general cost of motoring and the ball ache that goes with it. I'd love to be able to buy a new car under warranty or HP that comes with the bells and whistles in terms of after care etc, but I can't as I am still paying for other peoples lies and mistakes from 4 years ago....... :bang::bang:
So happy new fugging year everyone.
PS my internets is soooo slow it's a joke

another tricky question:
1. revise for 3 up coming exams
2. repair HG on my car and not revise for exams
1 - although fully prepared for the exams i may not make it to the exam hall if the car breaks down, and it's 100% that i will do well in these exam even if i revise...
2 - although the car is repaired if may not be a good enough job to make it there, and i will not be prepared for the exams...

Secret option #3 - revise for the exam and get someone else to repair the car

Forgot to mention that one, i tried that... Got a full refund from garage when the HG went within a week of it being fitted - thread in Punto section.
raining on my newly (yesterday ) washed car
My job, i hate the unstable hours. 30+ 1 week and 11 the next is not good enough for me. I cant find any jobs in the local area which i want to do. :bang:
waiting on a delivery from littlewoods. looked on there site and at 11am today it was loaded onto the van, so thought right il wait in till it comes. guess what doesn't come. by 8pm looked on the website and it says it was attempted to be delivered at 5.50 and a card was left, guess what...... no card.and at 6 the item was in storage at depot. so at a buisy time superman took the pakage to the depot, as there's no chance the van driver could have got there in 10 mins.
so the bull**** driver decided to knock off early no doubt.
thing that pisses me off is today is my b-day so been stuck in all day with no gas as i didnt want to go out to get some and miss delivery. and the other thing is the pakage is a prezzy off my kids and the only prezzy i would have had today. (gf getting me a driving force for my ps3 when they back in stock at game or argos) so was looking forward to surprise prezzy of the kids.
so i rang littlewoods and told them about it bein a surprise etc and it hadnt been delivered and they go and tell me exactly what the item is and how much it cost the ******s, so my b-day bin a right tit up.
thanks to a delivery
