Bloody weather sucks

Recommended Posts

Just spent a week down in devon visiting the family and in laws, and had glorious weather most of the time.

Now, the plan was that when we got back to lovely south Wales, the wheels would be coming off the supra for a bit of tlc and a respray, and i would get the calipers painted. The wheels have come off and been cleaned up ready for a re-spray, and the car is now sat out the back on axle stands with carrier bags on the brakes lol and a cover on, as all of a sudden the weather has gone to poo, and is too cold really for painting anything.

Why is it that weather always interupts plans when it comes to working on the car? Sometimes I really do wish I lived somewhere else, with a lovely warm sunny climate all year round!

So now need to wait for the weather to warm up a bit before cracking on with the wheels and calipers. Best get polishing the bay ready for JapFest then i suppose......will make it easier come closer the time.

Its the cold mate rather than the rain. So much junk in the garage right now i can only get half the car in :( and there just isn't anywhere for the junk to go unfortunately. Hate having a cluttered garage, but until parts sell, its just the way it is.

It was nice in Holsworthy?!?! I'm 3 miles away and the weather has been shocking for the last few days, Hasn't really stopped raining. At least right in the middle of it they announced we were in a drought area.

Yeah pretty good mate. Couple of days there were downpours, but good enough to have me sweating my tits off sunday playing football! And had a couple of nice walks along the viaduct with the missus and kid, so yeah, generally was a nice week in the s***hole that is holsworthy lol

Same here.......however, the good news is i managed to pile all the junk in the garage against the wall, giving me enough space to respray all the wheels, and nudge the car in just far enough to do the calipers :) so still got the jobs done
