you have something to do to your car,you set some time aside and you have it all planned out how long its going to take and what you want to achieve from your allocated time and your fxxking neighbout=r comes across and talks shit for an hour and doesnt take the hint to fxk off.
seriously,im welding my s2 from front to back corner to corner,im either welding,grinding or spanneringall day but yet my neighbour thinks i might be more interested to hear about the 02 plate 1.6 petrol audi he has bought his wife as a runarond or some other bollocks he thinks is appropriate.
i live in the sticks as it is so i dont get bothered too much by pals popping in and that,but this 1 neep grinds my gears.its got to the point where im going to not open the garage door so he cant see me.id rather choke on paint fumes and grinding dust than be bored to death listening to how his l200 needed brake pads for the mot and how much weight it can pull.
surely im not the only 1 who has a neighbour like this,just remembered,he made some fuel lines for my cossie.(hes a hydraulic hose 'specialist')they pissed out everywhere and looked rough as.
rant over,hopefully tomorrow hes not about,need to get on,if i waste any more time listening to his woes the car will be rusty and need welding again!

 

Mate... as far as I can see, just be thankful that he seems to have a certain interest in cars and is not one of the twats who calls the police every time you switch on an angle grinder.

Could be soo much worse!

 

sounds like a good friendly neighbor tbh.
my neighbor is forever being a stupid bitch and calling the police and complaining about loud music, loud cars, too many cars, freinds cars, people talking outside late at night.
i mean our house has nice gardens, were quite most nights, and were good neighbors there just stupid complaining fuckers.
would love to swap them for a guy who will come round and talk about cars with me.
guy across the road is building a cobra tho so its not to bad.

 

no,honestly,after 5 mins you would want to swap back.he tells storys about folk from 30 years ago who are long dead but insists on remembering their names.its not good car stuff he speaks about,like fords,races,scrapes with the law,its mpg,how much scraps worth etc.his son is building a cobra rep and hes almost as bad.
no-one complains about the noise,but his alsatians bark all day and nobody complains.i want a house with a double garage on top of a big hill and a drive with electric gates!

 

its not the neighbour i get its the local piss head who pretends to know about cars then spends the rest of the time tryin to buy it off you sayin hes will give me grands for the car and hes had skylines and other bullshit yet he rides a shit moantain bike and i know what you mean about them tryin to remember someones name reminds me of my grandad

 

Know the feeling mate, got one old boy who lives down the road and always wants a chat about cars. Fair enough but when im trying to find out where brake fluids leaking from and hes asking stupid questions I just want him to piss off

 

haha, know what you mean, its good having nice neighbours but they seem to always come out when you want to be getting on with something, or they try to lean against your car!!!

 

Get a big barkly dog with personal space issues

 

my cars in a block of garages and i dont live there so no one really no's me and dont bother me

 

i have another neighbour who had a blue rs500,but smashed it years ago,hmmm,dont quite believe him though.
im going out now to try and make some progress,hopefully he wont bother me today!

 

He sounds EXACTLY like one of my neighbours! He's retired, worked on aeroplanes all his life and now makes those sit on model trains in his workshop. I now know how to service a jumbo and make a scale steam engine He also does that thing trying to remember names of people from 30 years ago and always asks if I knew them [I'm 32 ] or speaks like I should definitely know them.

TBH though, I wouldn't have it any other way and I'm chuffed he's my neighbour. Yes he's a pain sometimes when you're trying to get on with something but I'd rather have someone friendly and pleasant than a moaning curtain twitcher!

 

I'm in the same boat!! Where my garage is, there's a geezer that always comes over when he sees me farting about. Until recently he had an old fucked mk5b escort and everytime he'd ask me to have a look at it. I only used to do it just to keep him sweet as I reckon he would be the kind of bloke to bitch and whinge!!

Thank fuck he got rid of the escort shitter and bought a newish focus instead so I now don't have to look at that anymore!! But still he comes over and waffles on about how fast it is (just as quick as a my cossie was apparently!!) and random other shite!! The other month he came over and started telling me how well his diet is going and that he's lost loads of weight etc...... I have a problem where I normally say things without thinking (it's got me into a fair bit of shit!! ) and I've just replied with something along the lines of 'keep going mate, you got a bloody long way to go yet!!' He just walked off with the hump!!! Lol!

He don't talk to me as much now. Result!!
