Bad day
« on: October 31, 2006, 20:31:04 »
Well after taking my Paj off road on Saturday I have come to the conclusion that it is better there than on road.

I went shopping after work today & ended up with a flat tyre - which I could have done without :(

I managed to change the wheel only to realise the Jap's didn't think everything out properly on them. The spare wheel carrier uses bolts to hold the wheel whereas the hubs use nuts. This makes it really difficult to put the spare back on as it is heavy & awkward & you have to line up holes. Fortunately 3 young men walked past as I was about to dump the wheel in the boot & I asked them to lift the wheel for me.

On getting home I have looked at the tyre to find a gash at the edge of the tread so it is going to be scrap :(

i always had to remember a spare set of nuts when running alloys and a steel spare...

tis a bit of a pain though - i had a tyre go flat on the 110 in about 30 secs! luckily just after i pulled on the drive after a 100 mile journey!

What you need here is a high lift jack



Of course the 3 young, handsome, sexy men might have been enough of  a bonus for you to forget the jack :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

its a ploy the clever japs have never forgotten the second world war. they're getting their own back one by one!
p.s. one in five people has got yellow skin and slanty eyes, consider this at your next club meet.

it may have the same chassis as a range rover, but it has the corrosion protection of a metro!

Well I had to replace 4 tyres cos the original ones were a strange size but got 4 for £220 so not too bad.

I was going to say "that's a bit below the belt", then I realised that wasn't funny.  The length of her skirt is her own business but I am assured that a skirt is more likely to receive offers of help than jeans or slacks :?
