Time to get shot, me thinks!

Post by bullethead » Thu Dec 30, 2010 1:02 pm

It's time for the annual give me your money or your not going on the road test.
No probs me thinks just change that number plate bulb and we'll be sweet. :x
How can something so expensive when new be built with such cheap shite parts?
So it weren't the bulb, it's the board. Cracked, no voltage on 1 side. Whole thing full of water. Was gonna run a good wire through to the side without power then I thought after mullering the whole thing getting it apart, "Feck it". The soppy seal aint even the same length as the grove it sits in so no wonder it served no purpose. To the bat phone and ring the main stealer. Is it black sir? No you obnoxious turd, I just gave you the vehicle details. Yes we have those in stock. Yes thats because they're crap. In grey primer £91.91. If you want it painted it will take 4 weeks and be £256.73. WHAT! for £20 quids worth of paint! You're painters ain't that feckin' good :x
Rant over picys to follow. :headbang:
