Wheeler Dealers

Tuesday 27 on sky 240 Discovery real time. Building a mini and some filming from IMM. 9pm.

we are now home from Turkey after a fantastic holiday and will be tuning in  

Sorry that was not more exciting.

I didn't actually get to watch it - I had a bit of a disaster - umm I spilt a glass of coke over my computer upshot being I killed it   Michelle managed to boot it up with her magic boot disc, but sadly the hard drive was completely useless.  I now have an Acer Aspire 320 GB hard drive 4 GB memory with Windows 7, a bit of an unexpected outlay, especially as Gem cost me £690 last week.  Anyway I was so busy trying to dry the computer, the floor and everything else that got covered in coke I missed the program entirely (obviously didn't miss much then

Ouch, I only hope it was diet coke!

Gem cost a lot of money hope it was programmed. I bought Bumble 4 new run flat tyres, Hankooks at £77 each. Already scuffed with my pupils.

Two new tyres, two brake discs and four brake pads I'm sure the speed bumps on my estate are b*******g up my tyres, but there is no way to avoid them
PS yes it was diet coke, but it was a full glass, need to investigate house insurance (I'll blame Jess)

ive gotta have my brakes sorted as well, but it wont be going to BMW to have them done, gonna do them my self

For me, it's ball joints that seem to wear badly due to speed bumps.

Unless I add an extra 7 miles to my 4 mile commute, I have to go over at least 8 of the beggars...

I just dont do speed bumps!!  Arthur has a complex about them so I drive VERY carefully over them (if I have no choice!) much to the anoyance of the people behind...... of which I care not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

......... also on wheeler dealers Edd China change a radius (dont think thats how you spell it or is it.... mmmmm) arm and the mini  was supposed to have 12 months MOT.......  I know mini's like to throw a few surprises in when they go for MOT but surely that should have been picked up on by the MOT MAN!!!  Or am I being picky!!!!!

I wish I knew enough to do them myself - but I am just a girlie

Sadly I can only get off of the estate where I live by going over lots of the b*****s whichever way I go there are bumps, bumps and yet more bumps

Gem doesn't like them either but I don't have a choice    see above

a lot of the time it depends on the person testing the car

on my pug i had a bush that one year was put as an advisory, he said it would more than likely fail next year.
when it got tested the following year by the same tester, he passed it!!!
