Ahh yes, sorry I forgot it was an E52

Every time I have an issue on my 51, I think "it could be a 52" and feel a bit better about it.

Sorry 52 owners, they probably have many qualities, but they're not for me and every week here only reinforces that.

Ignore me, I've been refurbing calipers all day and I'm about ready to eat my dog 😁
 
Whichever Japanese fuck knuckle rebuilt my drum handbrakes back in the land of the rising sun. Decided to fit the starwheel tensioners the wrong way around on both sides.

They needed a trip to destination fucked with a lump hammer and old school words of persuasion.

Wonder what the IQs and EQs of some people are. 'Builders' are working down the street on an extension. You know how it goes, keen for a week, then the tail off, and a candidate for the Guinness book of records for the time taken to build an extension. Anyway, I wonder, amongst them, do anyone think if you're running a business, how you would conduct yourself. YOu've got blasting music form the car stereo, f-ing and a blinding all day. Talking to a few other other neighbours on the manor and saying what person in their right mind, after seeing them, would want to given them £15-20-25-30 thousand pounds to have them work on your house. I put construction 'workers'; 'trades'men and 'builders' in with 'scrappies'. In so much as I try to use them as little/ever as possible, and with 'scrappies', thankfully never.

"scrappies"? Scrap collectors or scrap yards? I was down the scrappy on Saturday saving myself over £100 on steering column stalks and switches for my Ducato Camper 👍 👍

I've never seen a white one, mine was the common orange, it was a fun car to own but I think I would struggle to get in and out now, a bit like low sports cars, I do like them but there is nothing dignified rolling onto the roadside on your hands and knees and then standing up, no I'm not quite that bad.

Having owned the Elgrand for four years and now bought a motorhome and being just turned sixty, I found myself crawling out of one the company 5-series the other day. Not a good look in the customer's car park laugh laugh
 
So I've begun small side gig for diesel.... The person asked me to send an invoice or PayPal request for the work done
....i.did.
Then they messaged to.say they didn't realise I was such a fan, but I'd I wanted to pay to work for them, that's cool ...because rather than send a request, I sent them money instead.
Balls.

I set the clocks back one year when they should have been forward, my befuddled kids still ate their 10.30am Sunday lunch. Probably still think, twenty+ years on, that their dad is a total fuckwit 🤣

Bit harsh, even if you can get lost in a straight line.....

More your types which, at least by me, seem to be a immune to the law and just live their life seemingly doing what the heck they want: overloaded 'wagons', spilling stuff out of the back and they ride speed bumps to fast; parking where it suits; pulling out on people; mobile perma glued to their ears etc etc. One y'day spilling some brick stuff out over speed bumps. Must be a 'general waste' collector. I stuck the reg plate in situ into 'check car details' and up pops no tax/mot etc.. How many times I've thought if only the police could nick them.

Ask Joe, I turned right, waved at @Lpgc who was there by coincidence, my phone died so no satnav or calls. I do miss the day we never met up after the ice cream. I still have an Elgrand he doesn't. So I claim the victory 🤣👍
 
Driving home from work and suddenly uh oh.

What sounded something similar to rubbing or vibrations when braking and cornering.

Like a low humming noise.

Then I clicked...

No it's not the car at all.

A new song I've added to my Spotify playlist has a sample part way through the song that plays in the background.

It's just so happened to kick in when I was braking and cornering a lot 😂😂😂
