I’m glad you said they were a well established specialist! Probably moved into house repairs now and rob pensioners instead
She said it was a Porsche colour. Painty Paul moaned about having to put an extra coat on to make it cover, something about bright yellows being transparent.
He didn’t need much of an excuse to moan to be fair. She had me remove her interior, as it’s of to Vanworks for a complete new interior in December apparently. She always asks after you.
Everything shows through yellows Laying a silver base coat down first helps otherwise it’s a lot of coats of yellow wet on wet which runs the risk of well runs and sags. I painted a mini yellow once and vowed never to paint anything yellow again.
It's amazing that some people apparently earn a living while being completely inadequate at what they do while others can't find a job... so they say.
I laugh at some things, So and so picked my car up and now the wheels are pointing different directions, So and so picked my motorbike up and it fell over before he delivered it. The mind boggles
it's not hard to shine against such competitors, all you have to do is do your simple job and charge appropriately. These fools are sent to make us look good for being merely competent and honest.* * Not aimed at you, I'm sure you're extra special.
I was a proper soft touch today, was waiting to get ferry home, some young lad said have you got any jump leads please. He had a CBR1000f, big old bike. I said won't it go with a push ? He sat I pushed, it didn't go. Jump leads out, passenger seat up. He couldn't get the bike seat undone to get to the battery. The ferry had unloaded and was about to load. I said lets just put it on the back, pulled out my lane and got ramps out. Winched it on, bla bla took him home, he told me of his job woes, working at prison but hated it for obvious reasons. He said what do I owe you. I said whatever you want, he asked for my bank details and paid in £30. It wasn't out of my way so.....
Yeah, but - he won't forget - when his mate asks if he knows anyone who transports cars... I've done worse - people bring round badly running bus, I fix then and there in 5 minutes - what do I owe you? You're all right. Cool. And off they go without even offering the price of a beer. Glad I retired, I'm an idiot.
I’m trying so hard to understand this , I hate it Why do they put up with this ? You don’t have to be frightened of them Like the yeti and his engine I don’t understand how they do this to people I tell ya these people aren’t hardcore gangsters They are usually miserable small weedy types
No, I didn't make a living. What I should have done is said "leave it here mate" along with another one with similar problems. Then I should have swapped the distributors and carbs from one to the other , tune them up and told each that theirs was knackered but I got them good original used one(s) and charge them £500 each. £1,000 for a morning's "work". Not really but you can see how easy it is/would be to make money if you have no scruples.
