What is the point in having residents parking, with space for many cars (10 or more if you park tighter) when all the other residents leave 3 foot gaps between cars?? Both me and the other half have had to park on the road. I appreciate we have two cars and that's a bit cheeky (but really, how big are two mx5s parked 6inches from each other?)... it's not canoeing difficult to park properly leaving enough space for somebody else is it. Jayne's already had her car dinked a few times, it's so sad that people are unable to park a car in a space just over the width of the vehicle and need about three feet each side, you should be re tested every 5 years on parking, but you must do it in a van. Next to ferraris. If you can't do it you are only allowed to drive a reliant robin until you learn. Vote Kevin for Priminster I say! here here! hahaha I totally agree, same situation in my parking situation for my flat. I refuse to park in there now as its just a total nightmare and I will destroy all the cars if something happened to my 5! |

Grr. Thought I'd give the car a light fettle before tomorrow's virgin drag day at Santa Pod. In an effort to reduce the excessive charger whine I loosened the belt slightly, and now the sodding thing has half come off and chewed itself into noisy pieces. Grr.
I'm now seriously considering going turbo.

Parked my car on my parents-in-law's street for a week while I was on holiday, collected it today and the guy whose house it was outside had a moan about me parking outside his house because "when his friends come round there's nowhere for them to park". Though I doubt he genuinely has any friends if he's always such a pathetic whiney canoe...

Re greasing the rear brakes tonight to find pads welded to the disks
Tap the pads and the backing plates come away from the pad material
Think it's all my fault but find corrosion in the middle of the broken pad where it's split
Remove slider pins to find one has been greased with copper grease and is totally Canoeed
one previous Canoeing rear canoehole twat Canoe Canoeer of an owner.
And breathe...
Phone call to @rodders in he morning, hope he's got some 1.8 rear pads in stock...
Edit for clarity: the current pads are not rodders pads, they're hawk

With the bose, the cable to the door speaker is split and there is a small amp in a stupid location.
In order to run new cable to the doors, one have to remove them.
One should not do this alone.
I have now done one door, alone.
I hate the bose system.
I do not look forward to doing this again on the other side.

It's been nearly a month which shows what a happy bunch we are. Now for a #firstworldproblems rage...
I hired a cleaner last week. SWMBO is 8.5 months pregnant, I'm busy, so thought we'd treat ourselves. Duly logged on to Handy, booked a cleaner, cleaner came, and did the prarrie canoetest prarrie canoe job ever. He was sent home early. Add to that, our pillow cases went missing after he changed the sheets. Fuming.
Anyway, long story short, Handy refunded me but failed to address the pillow case issue. Who the Canoe takes pillow cases?
Well I found them when changing the sheets today. The cleaner had just put the clean ones over the dirty ones. Seriously. Who does that? Feel fully justified in getting a full refund now. Gr.

A mild niggle is the most I can manage in between grinning like a mad man. So here it is. My nightmare of epic proportions: My glove box rattles. I have to drive with it open. I may fiddle with the lock (can't see that doing anything) or screw / silicon the bastard shut permanently. Thoughts? First world problems! Meanwhile people are dying, but forget those for a moment and concentrate on me!  |

stuff it full of paper towels or something, so there is some pressure from inside to keep it tight.

But think of the power to weight man! The stuff has to at least serve a purpose. How many cereal bars will it take? Or bottles of water? I draw the line at six bars and one bottle. Any more than than and the Canoeer gets screwed shut! |

3 weeks delayed payment ffshfidyfhuqw7yhqwdsad. X says the money has left their account (despite 3 weeks of Canoeing it up), Y says it hasn't arrived, and Z (me) is fuming.

The water bottle and bubble wrap made a small difference but the rattle is still there. I'll have another look tomorrow.
