selbekk 0 Posted January 27, 2006 I went to wash the car: Okay, so I park my car inside the washing room (a tiny room where you wash the car for ££££££££££s), and go inside the gas station to take a dump so I would have maximum focus on washing and cleaning. Then, after 10 hard minutes practicing inner strength, I come out 10lbs lighter, and this old (well, mid-60s) guy stands and screams out about how there is this car in the washing room. I smile and say it's mine, and go towards the door to get to my car. It turns out, he has this really "posh" Cayenne Turbo, and his obnoxious (spelling?) kid inside (perhaps 20ish), waiting to wash their car (I'm sure it was their first time. Real brats both of them, you could tell just from looking at them). I smiled at them, and started washing mine. I think I spent about an hour just to piss them off. And about 3 minutes before I was finished, they left. Really hilarious. Ten minutes later, a huge truck drove past me, and splattered the whole front with mud and dirty snow. Grr.

selbekk 0 Posted January 29, 2006 downloaded every single album mobb deep and eazy e has ever put out, and changed my dull 4-spoke steering wheel for a hot and sexy 3-spoke leather original gangster steering wheel :lol: oh, and I fitted it with my new 92pc tool set. Next on the list is to re-earth my cd-player, which includes removing the glove box, the entire middle section of the dash, and the gear surround trim. Oh, and I am fitting a new gear surround to my car also, as the old one had broken its tabs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selbekk 0 Posted January 31, 2006 today I... well actually yesterday.. I masked off the entire boot floor, and got it ready to fibre glass it. I have never fibre glassed with mats before, so I am going to practice a bit before I get started. I bought six rolls of masking tape, but only ended up using one and a half. Oh, and I found out my piece of skeet bonnet release wire has loosened up again, so I have to retighten the muthaph..... thing again.. oh glory.
