Started the weekend with so many good intentions. early Saturday went and picked up the porsche wheels I got on ebay. Had paid a deposit earlier in the week.
one of the wheel shas been drilled at some point as one of the bolt holes has 2 drill marks around it..expect somebody lost their locking wheel nut!
I bought them home anyways.
Then I get a brake warnign light on the way back! Stop in a layby and check brake fluid..its fine. so nurse it the remaining 25miles home. get home and investigate only to find that I have no cooelnt! and oil is low despite having a main dealer service only 4k miles ago! I get that sorted and investigate the brakes. they are making a grinding noise up front and sure enough I'm all out of pads and scoring to disc.
Pregnants wife " you aint gonna be messing with bloody cars all day are you ....yada yada yada" went to buy pads and discs from Halfords and spotty git behind counter gives it "computer says no!" ....thats because hes looking for a "Vauxhall Passat" IDIOT!
then for some unknown reason they only have 1 yes 1 front disc in stock. I take the pads get home only to realise my jack doesnt fit under the fecking car!
Wife " winge winge winge"
Sod it...wifes off work next week, ill use her car and get someone else to do the brakes but thats another weekend been written off from doing anything productive!!!!
oh yeah ...something retro
