Regarding toolboxes, apart from the two cheap roller cabinets, I have a pair of the Fatmax ones, Given to me over the years. The small one has general tools, the big one contains a trolley jack, two hydraulic ones and four axle stands. It takes some lifting. The firm I work for threw out a load of yellow Pelicases with holes drilled in them for sockets, these were easily filled with scraps laser cut from another one and now contain lots more tools. . I probably have nearly enough.

The choice has been made a bit more difficult by the prices. 

16" - £16

19" - £27

Price wasn't really a consideration, but an extra tenner for another 3 inches doesn't seem good value...  Now wondering if 16" would be enough. 

I'd pay extra tenner for 3 more inches. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She said I had to.

 

A freshly valeted car , washed and waxed and vacuumed to inches of it's life with a *pleasant air freshener . Mine's overdue , shock horror ! 

*Where are they all gone ? 

I do like that on getting my electricity bill today (wait for it...) there was a line entitled, "Energy Price Guarantee" and a discount applied of 19.91p applied for every KwH!

I have celebrated by turning on a toastie oil filled radiator to heat up my living room...

I remember when we first got a phone in the 60s, it was quite acceptable to have a money box for donations beside it should the neighbours want to use it! LOL

Surely they get the hint when your sat in the dark with your coat on.  worked for me when I bought my first house. 

I still like a lot my E120 Hatchback Corolla that i sold 2 years ago...

I miss a lot my little Japanese...

No oil consumption...

No timebelt but chain...

Zero engine noise...

Cheap Toyota oil 10w-40 semisynthetic...

Cheap spare parts in general...

100hp and beautifully sounded after 4.200 rpm...

Diesels now are such a failure...

I already miss petrol engines...

F...ing EGRs and DPFs...

 

MOT passed today no advisories so I decided to treat her to a space saver spare instead of the puncture repair kit.

Might not enjoy the hol for much longer, my partner has become ill. Not from eating dodgy food either. Saw drs this morning. The bill was painfull . If she doesn't get any better, we will come home weds instead of sat. I've already booked a flight weds just incase. 

Like test driving this ford ranger. Felt a little like driving a monster truck 😅. Dad is changing the front abs sensor and glow plugs on this.

Scary thing is one got stolen at the end of my road a few days ago. CCTV footage the neirbour shared looked like the stupid thiefs somehow unlocked the door and within a minute started it and drove off. Very likely it was keyless entry. Dad's friends ranger here isn't keyless entry so should hopefully be safe from this low lifes

Disklok?

Hidden fuel pump switch. It can disable the relay and doesn't need to be high current so could be a reed switch, worked by a magnet. (if you can do without a USB port, it could be made to accept a fake memory stick that closes the relay feed when inserted.)
