Yes she did good! Going to the scrap merchants after work to swap the logbooks over, crisis averted.

Fukin time wasters who put their car up for sale and don't bother to answer the phone. Really pisses me off!!!!
checked the plugs and all had oil in them. Then compression test and all 4 cyclinders are down 40 psi. Due to the overheating issue, the noise it's making the misfiring the detonation and the low compression the guys on gt40c think its ringland failure.Quote:

Name and shame mate so others know to stay away :thumb:
It's someone off Gumtree mate. Time wasters lucky I wasnt far away but even so annoys the fuck out of me. People need to be honest when selling anything.
If they're dealing novas they're more or less guaranteed to be time wasters who have no clue about anything lol
i once travelled all the way to Peterborough to view a nova that had a full mot on it
when I got there the seller wasn't there it was his mate and when I pointed out various fails he shrugged his shoulders.
iv dealt with good lads but mostly jokers who haven't got a fuckin clue,I've scrapped better than they're selling.
my grasser is better than most of the "minters" left.
dodgy brakes in the nova, same in the mini, cracked washer bottle, leaking front shockers, cracked windscreen from just sitting in a garage for 2 weeks........crap paint on wings to be rubber down and done again, that's just the mini, then my cooper has it's MOT tomorrow so we will see what that brings.......
Being called early in the morning that I need to go to the hospital tonight at 9 rather than tomorrow morning at 10, so I get to spend an extra day in there. Absolutely spiffing.
Head gasket failed on the Volvo.
I can't sleep because I got nose surgery on Monday and my nose is all blocked up and gauzed and stuff, and every time I swallow (whether it be spit or drinking something) all the pressure goes to my ears and my ears are killing me.
Last minute que jumpers
I got the gauze out of my nose. Fuck me, I thought they'd be two small pieces of gauze, not two 6" long pieces, all packed through my damn sinuses. Those stung a bit on the way out.
I had an unstoppable nose bleed last year, mrs is a paramedic so we sat it out for a while and it wouldnt stop. Went to the hospital and they said they need to put 'rapid rynos' in. Wondered wtf they were. Out they bring these things that when you wet them, get slimey, and they jammed them up my nose. No word of a lie, they where the size of my index finger each. The pain was something else. I wont lie, i weeped like a little girl and basically went in to shock....the next thing i know, they pump them up with saline solution to expand them further. I wanted to kill someone.Quote:

I was in hospital for 3 days with that nose bleed.
I hope to god the pain you had wasnt that bad, id not wish it on many people.
I'm pretty sure it was nowhere near that level of pain, for sure. That sounds fucking horrible. Here they just burn the vein that ruptured and it heals right up.Quote:

You must have thrown it pretty hard to rupture something in your fucking nose.Quote:

Had this obstical in a track we called a tomb stone, it was designed to be about 8 foot tall and as steep sided as possible. Like what bmx and skate guys call a 'spine'.
This thing is designed to be rolled over just before a corner, in like 1st or 2nd gear at tick over.
Long story short i fucked the run up to it up, hit it pretty much pinned in 3rd (cr250 honda at the time) went in to orbit, completely cleared the corner, landed, but on the bike still, basically impacted the fuel tank/cap with my old fella on the way down because the landing was so heavy. I kinda ripped it open a bit, which was bad enough, but i then had to endure about 2 weeks of swelling a bruising. My name for those weeks could have been Winston.
Jesus Christ almighty.Quote:
