Default fooking cossies

, why is it when ya go to do a small niggly job on a cossie that should take 5 mins theres always another thing thats the problem


first example:

getting a knocking noise from under the car, look into it and discover the zorst rubber has come away and the zorst is knocking on the floor, i think "ok, ill fix that the weekend"

so today i take 20 mins to fit a new zorst rubber thingy to the car, get under the fooker to find that the zorst hanger has snapped on the zorst , i think, thats ok, i got the other side still on it, better check JUST incase thats poped out or snapped too and guess what toi my relief the zorst hanger on the zorst aint snapped , its loose though so i got to refit the new hanger rubber thingy on that side, spend ages feeling under the fooking car, no where to mount it

jack the fooker up really high to find guess what, the hanger onnthe chassis has snapped

so i gotta get me mates welder out now and gotta get a grinder to a old saph shell too

why dont cossies just do like my cabrio does, break down but be a simple fit and forget part to sort, not get the fooking welder out

oh and me siezed caliper dont seem to be sized BUT the fooker has done the passenger side brake pads onthe rear in 6 weeks , was testing it and testing it but the fooker aint seized

why do cars do this all the time

good news is i fitted the new wheels to the cabrio as mine where a "tinybit" bald and now i can brakein a straight line and well i can brake

so the cossie can fook its self for a while now , gonna dump it till i get a spare weekend to sort it
