Every get those times where you do something and go out your way only for something else to happen !

 

Well it's one of those days for me !

 

Started off yesterday after giving my TT a good wash then I noticed that my front reg plate was all washed out

looking and half of the numbers were washed out or faded away.

 

First thought was the wife (always blame the wife first, lol) had used the jeti at home and washed the reg plate

which is powerfull enough to strip paint but what actually happened is some wise ass peeled of the laminate and

took half the letters with it when they did.

 

You can see what I mean in this pic !

 

 

I don't really know how long I've been driving about like this so I didn't want to risk getting caught by traffic cops

so I moved the zed off the street into the morisons car park across the road for now then phoned around the local

garages to see who does a new reg plate and get it done today!

 

Turns out nobody in Ayrshire where I stay had the square style reg spates to make up and halfords told me about

a week to get one done so I told them where to go.

 

Finally after an hour of phoning every garage I found one in Kilmarnock which is a good 10 miles away.

 

Not risking getting caught I left the zed at home and drove the wife's VW Bug and picked up the plate and drove

home again to fit the new plate.

 

After getting it on I drove back to work in the zed and for some reason decided to park back in the same spot at

morisons only to arrive into the car park with a thud and then what I could only describe as a moment of shear

pant browning event and I put the breaks on and done a walk about to see what I could see.

 

Well bad luck it seems came quickly as my rear drivers side was flat as a pancake !

 

On the good side I've just picked up a set of 19's at a great price a few days ago which haven't arrived but bad

luck calls in again as I've no money to get new tyres or get them done up this month so I'm now zed less for a month.

 

So trying not to get caught by traffic cops to save money ended up going to cost me money getting this fixed !

 

What dumb luck and a complete pain in the ass !

How do you burn a put noodle? Lol

 

My lady says this is karma because you blamed your wife first. Sorry mate.

If I correct her something will happen to me, you know how it is.

Karma crap :lol:

Karma crap :lol:

 

Exactly !

 

This is what happened last time she washed my zed :

 

Jet wash???? nasty things :hammer:

Hand wash only mate.:yes:

Hand wash only mate.:yes:

 

Yup - my theory also......

 

.....even if it does not do any major damage, jet washes have been known to actually propel abrasive dirt across the paintwork, thus causing scouring/scratches....

 

.....and even if it doesn't go that far, a jet wash can strip off the wax protection you had previously lovingly applied to your car!!

 

I never let anyone else clean my cars and will use nothing more powerful than the garden hosepipe to rinse (pre and post wash) them.

 

Richard:flowers:

You have been cursed by the elves who guard my "BLING for touching my chrome.They can be horrible little devils when upset. LOL.

give me a call lee, ive got a set of 17" wheels up for sale, you can borrow for a month until you get tyres sorted if that helps you fella.

Well it looks like my luck has turned !

 

Dropped of the flat wheel to the garage this morning and 30 min agao nipped into to see what the script is,

 

luckily the wheel just lost pressure around the rim and theres nothing else up with it.

 

Thank fook for that.

 

Likely lost presure as it was likely too low in the first place so soon as its back on the zed i'll double check them all.

Thanks for the offer Sandy,

 

but luckily it was just a deflation rather than a puncture
