Im not happy...

Today I was mainly going to be doing my own thing...Supra related obvioulsy. Wifey had other plans, as shed promised the outlaws Id help clear out a few of the million garages they rent as storage (didnt tell me Id volunteered till this morning as I was about to leave the house)....from 10 am this morning till well after lunchtime I was sat around at home waiting for the outlaws to ring us to say theyd finished their scenic tour of the new forest, and it was ok for me to go there now, the cheek of it. So we drive down to Hythe, sit waiting an hour whilst they find all the garage keys, then off we go to do what 'Id' volunteered for...six garages, filled to the eaves with old crap, which I was expected to dump - except after ten minutes, the dear old batty bat turns up and decides she dont want to throw everything away...two hours later, and all Id done was move crap from one garage to another garage several times over, without her throwing any of the old tat away...Im home now, but shit I must have the patience of a saint.

 

God bless the one-legged wrinkly little Yoda.

Man, that a shite day right there.

 

I, on the other hand, spent nearly five hours cleaning and polishing the Supe just so she looked her best for the new badges provided by Lovatt.

 

Spent some time chatting with a villager who owns a Mercede 190Sl or something. Proper old skool motoring that. He rolled it while on a rally in France. Insurance write-off but he bought it back of the insurers and is spending 22,000 on getting it put right. Rich feckers around here, I tell thee.

 

Oh yeah, polishing done, I apply the stickers and they transform the Supe. For a full five minutes I admire my handiwork.

 

Then it rained.

Hi FP1....its the only road that leads to France...brilliant highway planning or what - combine a dual carriagway through one of the most visited areas in the UK (New Forest) with the main route to the French Ferry in Poole...aint rocket science

Shite day here too... if a little eventful!

 

I was working away doing some interior bit to the Supra, when one of the guys who lives 4 doors away asks if he could make a call (I know they don’t have a phone), so I said sure and gave him my mobile. I must looked away for a few moments but it seems that he managed to get inside my house and nick my wallet out of my jacket pocket (It was on a coat hook just inside the front door - which was open)

 

With directions from some local lads, had a foot chase for about 1/2 mile but eventually lost him. Got in the Supe to check the local stores, spotted him a few streets away, foot chase again but he jumped a few peoples fences and I lost him!

 

Police were called at 2pm, was told someone would be along shortly but still no show!

 

Have since found out the guy is a heroin addict and alcoholic, police told me not to go looking for him or wait for him to return as I could end up in more trouble than he is in

 

Will be keeping a look out for him tomorrow, for my own sake I hope the police get hold of him before I do...

When you gonna sort your bonnet an bumper?

 

Well bumper is fully prepped now, just got to pull finger out of my arse and take it too be sprayed!! then the bonnet will be decided on how far unaligned it is. As one body shop has said it is bent but it is a very small amour so may be able to straighten it :idea:

 

I got my clear lights for the front bumper. Then after it is time to blind my wheels and i think ill be done for a while. :devil:
