its got a crackin stereo and nice wheels When i bought my van i bought in haste much to my eternal embarassment i failed to notice a couple of minor details in fairness , i overlooked the need to have a chassis ,well one that was'nt akin to the titanics hand rails ,i failed to notice ( as everyone does ) that the rear torsion beam - a significant component in the ability to actually roll a van along - was indeed snapped in half ,i also failed to properly inspect - the engine , wiring , steering , front beam , lighting , poptop , brakes and previous history , at this point in my story i feel you may think " dopey git " well you'd be right , apart from and i did actually realise this when i did my otherwise non effectual inspection , the crackin stereo and nice wheels . In fairness twenty four hours after having her on my drive it began to dawn on me that all i did really have was - a crackin steroe and a nice set of wheels -- what did i do ? - i turned the stereo on and polished the wheels ^-^. i have been playing the stereo for for the last fifteen month's as i toiled on the rest of the van , i have'nt polished the wheels much as they're a bit redundant right now , but the stereo and my favourite tracks have seen me through , the dulcid tones of Mark knoffler and the up beat rock of Springsteen and the e street band have been my saviour , i hide away scraping grinding and repairing till my hearts content , when i have worn myself and my enthusiasm out i switch off my steroe an head back to the madhouse we call home . My jvc as been my friend my comforter and my soul mate , its inspired me when other things have got me down , its soothed my soul when i wanted to stamp my feet and chuck the ( now defunt )angle grinder through the windscreen , its carried on working when all other electrics have failed , in short its been a crackin stereo- It packed up today !!. Actually i never cried that much , well i did but in all honesty i had given it a hell of a task , i mean if i had hired a alto choir to sing me through my resto they would all be tenors now , there would have been others dropping balls as much as me . i digress - what did i do i hear you ask , how could it be corrected , how could this untimely demise be got over ???. i asked myself the same thing , i had a fag and a cuppa and in the finest tradition - i scratched my head and looked confused -- "Whats up ?"Lou asked as she came into my serene enclave ( the garage with pit - don't y'know ) and saw my distressed state , i wiped away the tears , drew in a deap breath and explained my stereo had now given up the ghost on me as well and i can't seem to get any leccy into the cab , i was a little miffed she could see , i think the dent where i had punched her washing machine gave it away , ohh and the pile of tissues ( THAT I USED TO WIPE AWAY MY TEARS YOU FILTHY MINDED SODS ) on the garage floor by my feet may well have let the cat out of the bag , " oh dear " she cooed ,it did'nt help that she had a rye smile on her face and kept looking away , " Well don't you think it would help if you connected the battery ?!!" -- Derrr , i looked down by my feet and there beneath the pile of tissue's was the safely disconnected battery . Ermm , i have been tidying the engine bay and last night before i went to work i removed the battery !!. Its a crackin stereo , nice wheels too !. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[------------------------------------------>>>>
:-[ :-[ i am dyslexic y'know . wilderness -- as apposed to self exile ?, good to see you back sausage
And I was just about to say Ive just taken a jvc out of the pig and as you were so upset at your loss did you want it! (I know it would never be the same stereo but its the thought that counts! ) First the grinder and then the stereo how would you cope with the loss??
