Show us the last picture you took on your phone. (VW related or not!)

Sadly not:

On 9 March 2021, a consortium led by TowerBrook Capital Partners (U.K.) LLP and Warburg Pincus International LLC completed the Acquisition of AA Limited (formerly known as AA plc).


So both are now owned by corporate cancers, as are many of the other essential organisations we rely on, some of which we can't do without, or have no choice but to use.

 

Very much a private members club back then. I had dinner at the Club house in Epsom(?) early 90s. Nigel Mansell's Williams was parked in the entrance hall, the one he'd just won the F1 title in. I was told off by a member of staff for attempting to take my jacket off during the meal. As everyone knows, jackets stay on until the coffee is served. I remember that plus fours would have been OK, as long as I'd just completed a round of golf.

 

The only real difference between the RAC and the AA is that the RAC have relatively more subcontractors, and the AA has relatively more employees.
Which can be the difference between waiting 1 hour for the AA and four hours for the RAC.

 

I’m with Green Flag and can’t really fault them…. it’s almost all sub contractors, but I’ve never waited long to be recovered…..

I'm always disappointed that "X" isn't "Xylophone"

 

Blimey. Used to have one those in the kitchen when I was a nipper.

 

Hope he wasn't thinking of going anywhere over the weekend

 

Glad your back safety,

Vehicles can be trying..



Probably cheaper if they kept you in the yard..

You need to get a little fag-lighter charger and keep it in your pocket

 

Ah, I see. I start fretting if my phone battery is running down - the modern world, eh ?

 

Carry a powerbank in your EDC.

 

Not my pic, but my engine case.
It is the stock 1300 of my 68 beetle. Damaged by an aluminium pulley.
I tried a slip in Empi sand seal pulley kit, which leak directly. I asked a friend if he could machine the case and the stock pulley to adapt a seal, et voilà
I rebuild this engine 3 times in a row.
First it gots a slight knock, which came from the taiwan camshaft pulley, it was wrapped. More than 1mm when checked on a lathe and a dial indicator I finally reused the stock one after having it machined for cam bolts. In fact, that is the best thing to do for a stock rebuild.
Than, lot's of metal in the oil, that came from the Bugpack pulley that damaged the case. It never leaks a drop from the stock pulley
It is a shame as it otherwise ran perfectly and got in specs oil pressure.
Lesson learned; Triple checking aftermarket parts, or reused good used one.

Kuddo's to him for that custom cutter
