My grump parking at work.
I actually had to check they hadn't rear ended me. Also incase you think they were being a dick, the back of their car was on the line and couldn't have been any further back without blocking someone else in.

Dunno who painted the lines on the car park but the side to side spaces are even worse seems they think everyone pedals a kettcar to work.

I have sorted the warning light out now,seems it was the brake fluid res tank that had a dodgy bottom sensor took it off ,gave it a wiggle and hey presto,no more light on ,yippeeeee!!!

Outbid on a td Fiorino.

Still the n/a trooped its way through the white water rapids that are supposed to be "A" roads.

Went to a Work experience in a garage today that college had setup....
Turns out college never ****ing organised it and as a result they knew nothing about it

So i got up early - loaded everything up ready only to find out it was all for NOTHING

Annoying because i was actually looking forward to having a go at some speed based work in a garage!

Came across a nasty accident which had just happened about 6 cars ahead of me on the way home, Citroen C1 and a Nissan 4x4 head-on. This wasn't the main issue, as airbags had done their job very well, just that ended up directing traffic for 5 min until the police arrive as no one seems to have any bloody common sense on how to go around a road blocked with a smashed up car with injured people in :bang:

What is wrong with people?

Rant over.

It was blown, fitted another but its a standard so not as bright as night breaker. ordered 2 new nbp for 13 quid from ecp

just watched this sell so cheap but me no money http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-Lanc...mot-good-bodywork-very-nice-car-/221369008781

Snows here...30 mins it gone from drizzle to covered.

On the upside the new goodyears seem alot better on fresh snow than the old continentals which as far as I can tell were designed as an advert for winter tyres. Tbf I'm surprised they didn't have temperature sensative writing on the walls stating "we also do winter tyres" Only span the wheels once and didn't trigger the abs once, which considering the contis would easily lock a wheel despite abs if it was just cold nevermind snowy is encouraging.

I think half the time people just genuinely don't know how to react, this I blame on the click'n'collect culture that lets someone else take care of everything for them and the other half is people frightened to get involved in case they make a mistake and get in trouble.

Came back to my car yesterday to be greeted with this, when the bloke came back to his car and I confronted him about it his answer was pretty much "oh well".

Did you mangage to stick your light bar to your glass roof


I have one of these




People take far more notice off you if you look official, wave your arms manically and shout a lot especially at those who drive round roundabouts several times to take photos of the accident :devil:
