Loots Red custom

[bigjohnthomas]

Yeah built in sat Nav would of been good but as billy was for the least Nazi gold I could find there wasn't much choice on his spec
It was either
Av him
Or
Don't av him

[loot]

I guess, least you got some fancy bonnet stripes

What about getting a small tomtom or something and do what punto did (depending on copyright law)

[bigjohnthomas]

illstickwith gluingit somewhere
need all the fresh air i can get in there it gets quite hot it the back might have to put anextra roof vent in yet
they seem more airtight then the mk7
bloofy ford

[loot]

Yes on account that us custom owners don't need as much fresh air to circulate and remove the trampy smell

[bigjohnthomas]

oh yes i rememberthe foul stench of spesh brew cheap cider and farts from the old mk7
i much prefer the gentlemanly smell of lthe leather and lavender eminating from the custom

[loot]

Won that on eBay.
£2.20 and £4.99 postage.

Will they or won't they

[bigjohnthomas]

Have you not already got some of those holding your wheels on?

[loot]

No, they broke Never had this carry on in my mk7 tramp van, bloody wheel nuts broken, bloody hidy hole cover broke.

Just falling apart and I'll tell you something you might not know, Ford won't admit.........

[bigjohnthomas]

Those captive stainless covers over the wheel nuts ?
Bloody rubbish the deep fryed pizza eating owner of billy before me has managed to mangle about 5 of them up
He'd to smash a socket over to get them off
This is just typical of fords poor.......

[loot]

I'm going to say that the one and only time the wheels were changed was by quick fit i think as i had the winter tyre hotel thing, i think they used the air gun on the locking nuts i gently tried undoing them by hand with my breaker bar square on and straight away i could feel the socket breaking, think i got 2 undone and the next i got off but the last 1i had to really hate it to get it off, i threw them away in disgust and i was stomping around the yard like half crying and huffing and puffing like when we were a kid then trip over something which made matters worse and of course boss man Looks at me then belly laughs and says, not having a good day are you which tbh i don't wanna hear that kind of sh*t and i go through the motion of picking up something and looking at the red slag and just before i smash it up i stop.









Then breathe, remember the lamarz classes i took once.

And all is well again.
Phew.







But then the bloody cupboard handle breaks.
