Asked for pay rise, getting pay rise

Love them things, they look like the Batmobile

Tinny phone speaker probably didn't help but I found the backing track too loud for the vocal, not bad though

It's like word splatter!

There's even a whole missing word in that sentence but it's the extra R that got you

Swish, get down cash and carry and grab the 20l of oil they do for around £15, that's the one... If you're a member or know a member of a cash and carry that is

Are you sure? I know you can with older VW diesels (because I did, and got my oil for free :D) but the injection system changed on newer models meaning it f**ks shit up..

Before: During: After: Needs lows, unfortunately there's pretty strict rules around lowering in New Zealand, if you want coilovers it's a full VOSA style test and a plaque riveted to the firewall, and it can't go mega low so -40 springs to follow

Yesterday was a good day - my replacement, replacement phone screen arrived (first one was either faulty or phone was a write off) and I now have my nice phone back, a load of other stuff I ordered came, including S4 alloys for the A4 I picked up later that evening and I found a fiver outside work. Winner! Pics of new car to follow, it's SO nice compared to the shitheap MK2 I've been driving

Sold RVR for a tidy $1300 profit, Golf is going end of the week for a tidy $1000 profit (which considering it wasn't even for sale is pretty good!), agreed to buy A4, already bought S4 wheels to replace the f**king horrid turds fitted at the moment The Laurel whilst cool, would have got pretty boring, pretty quick I think and would've needed constant upkeep. Now looking for another little <$200 shit box to tart up and sell on

Get used to not landing everything back wheel if you're planning on tackling any kind of jump/ramp, I've learnt that the hard way too many times

Always wanted a 5 cylinder 20vt Audi lump in a 944/924, make that happen My current car situation is everything is being sold and I need a nice car to replacement, pretty slim pickings here unless I want (another) badly converted people carrier camper or a Subaru Legacy with cylinder head issues so I've got it down to - Head choice: a very sensible, very bland, very roadworthy car I'm quite familar with, manual 1.8T quattro A4 with very awful wheels for $2500ish worth about that much Heart choice: A completely gangster, unroadworthy (minor work), crap 2.0, 6 cylinder, wanky auto, C33 Laurel that I fell in love with when I first moved here for $1500ish worth a fair bit more fixed (not actual car, different wheels and no coolers and pipes and stuff, still about as gangster, the pictures she actually sent were more of the house thanks to the 'artistic' angles) Not willing to do engine swaps or big upgrades so a Skyline engine swap is out of the question Tl;dr A4 or Laurel?

Audi used to do that, was a dicky relay, save yourself the money and swap it for a new one rather than let a garage do it

That drippy piece of shit I work with got a new job, worked his weeks notice and invited everyone out for drinks last night. Only one person went and only because he's a good Christian like that, beautiful

Who are BETD?

Bought a brand new radiator for my cheap fixer upper RVR, got it all fitted up, filled up with fresh coolant, switched the car on and the f**king thing has got a bigger crack in it than the one I'm replacing! I'll get it swapped for a good one but it's still f**king annoying!

Just f**k it all off and go travelling, you'll meet a shit load of people, do a shit load of shit, see and do stuff you probably won't really have time to do later on (I have left this travelling lark wayyyy too late) maybe find something or someone on your way or just come back with a clearer idea of what your priorities are in life Hate to be that "go travelling, you'll find yourself, man" guy, but it's kinda true, it has at the very least confirmed that I do hate people

New car day! This 4wd dream machine has had a decent service done by a reputable local mechanic about a week ago including new water pump, the owners bought it for $2000, spent a good $500 on it, drove it for 2 weeks before deciding that it was too small for 3 people to live in ( ) so put it up for sale. Whilst driving it to a prominent place where people would see the ad in the window the radiator blew so they resigned themselves to just binning the car, or best offer on the local Facebook group. Needless to say I ripped the girls arm off at $200 because there is nothing wrong with it, the radiator is fine, it had just got a little hot and chucked some coolant out of the overflow onto the exhaust, it needs a new thermostat which I can get from work for about $5 and it'll be back up for sale at $2500 next week Tune in tomorrow when I finally pick up that Audi 100 I mentioned a while ago for $50 Also someone out of the blue offered me $1800 for the dog of a MK2 I'm currently driving! I'm winning at cars at the minute

Smashed my bloody phone screen, I suppose 4 years is a pretty good run though!

It's so much better to watch (and ride) with a bit of flow!

If his attitude is anything to go by, I could probably get away with it tbf. See also - Happy Thread where said job are sponsoring me to stay in NZ

There's a lad I work with, who I would love to punch, as hard as possible, repeatedly. This guy has just turned 21, tall, built like a chicken carcass, greasy hair (he just got rid of his mullet in favour of grease), his mother has to get him out of bed every morning, makes his packed lunch and a coffee for him, has never arrived to work on time, does f**k all when he's there anyway, talks slowly, writes like a 6 year old, gets away with it, boss seems to like him for some reason, he's never had more than a sit down telling off in the office, been there years. Today I wasn't able to have a break until very late in the day because it was busy and we were a man down. This lad and I had been discussing how late it had got for my break time and how hungry I was, 10 minutes later when I finally got chance to have some lunch this utter willy had decided to sit down for his third break of the day so I couldn't. The assistant manager (who is normally a pretty decent bloke)'s answer having heard me giving him a round of f**ks - "yeah you should try and have your lunch earlier, Rich" Awesome. This is the level of twat this guy is every day of his drippy, worthless life. The only reason I haven't hit him is because I value my job.

You can just grab an Oyster card in pretty well any station, will cost a fiver for the card alone before you top it up but it's loads less pissing around!

Agreed on avoiding gasless, in my limited experience it's just absolute messy crap, the difference between gas and gasless is night and day and barely any difference in initial outlay.

The boss has confirmed today that work could and would sponsor me, meaning if I want to I can stay in New Zealand indefinitely
