It’ll be the black paint that’s putting you off.
Don’t tell anyone I said this but , “ there are some that look really good”
 
So booked front tyre replacement via black circles, tyres where knackered because the alignment was way off. Booked 2 wheel tracking at same time and paid on online.
Tyres where fitted then mechanic came in saying we don't do tracking on imports, went along to computer with him as I had the hunter specs but low and behold they use a Ravaglioli system?! Refund issued and off to find somewhere with hunter🙄
 
So on my way to pick up my correct sized tyres and heard an awful squealing noise from the rear, sounds to me like a rear wheel bearing!
Abandoned the trip and went straight to the garage I use to see his opinion, he agreed wheel bearing! Problem is he's got a mountain of work so asked if I could remove it and then take it to him to press the new wheel bearing on.
Please help anyone as I cannot find a thread on how to change the f**king thing! Stuck with the huge 30 or 32mm driveshaft nut and my sockets are too shallow! Thanks f**king UK roads!!!! Bit stressed right now as we are off to Spain in less than 2 weeks and need it fixed asap!!!

Thanks buddy, already got it off! Came off quite easily other than breaking my breaker bar as for some reason I forgot righty tighty! lol
Also one of the four bolts holding on the bearing was a pain in the .....! Garage is going to press a new bearing on tonight or tomorrow!
 
Being the Master of our house I decided we were having a BBQ.

It's the Mans job to prep and light the BBQ - so i did, but the boil in the bag charcoal didn't light as it usually does.

It was a different brand, she bought it, so it was her fault....and i told her as much.

To which she replied "Just light it, its the only thing you're good at. "

Not to be defeated, i thought it would be a good idea to throw a bit of acetone on the coals and light it, what could possibly go wrong ?

I use acetone for my art - so it was there and asking to be used, after dousing the coals i lit it with my trusty Zippo.....WOOOOOOOSH.




Well fcuk me that worked well, luckily i was wearing my flip-flops so I escaped the main explosion with nothing more than eyebrow and eyelash removal....what a stench.

Caught it on CCTV for comedy purposes....

I noticed the look of horror from my wife, but i played it cool, like it was supposed to happen...

" There you go its lit."

" What's that smell ? "

" Oh its just the smell of burning hair from the back of my hand...no big deal, haha nervous laugh."

" It smells like shit to me, you muppet."

must admit i laughed peter, then i realised the danger side of things and,well i'm ashamed to say i laughed again (sorry).
Then , when i'd done laughing and thought about it i was absolutely horrified ,i mean how could you do such a thing with your age and knowlage combination, just how the foook could you wear socks with flip flops
