Hellish Night (Couple pics @ post #12) - Saxperience

Well yesterday after work i nipped home, grabbed some tools and a mate (i suppose he was a tool too

) and headed out to the workshops for a quick swap of the decat pipe for the cat.

Never happened!

Started raining heavily on the way home from work. When i arrived at the workshops the loading bays were full of stuff which had been delivered that day so i just squeezed the front of the car inside out of the rain. Managed to leave the lever for the jack at home. Lost a pin for an axel stand somewhere and the rusty bolts and nuts on the exhaust caused a heap of problems. Started work around 9pm. Finished about 1.30am.

Had a wee break and a cuppa and then went to clear up and head home.

Never happened!

The added weight of the cat meant the exhaust was hangining slightly lower and meant i couldnt get back down the ramp out of the loading bay. After much hassle and using planks of wood for tracks i got the car back outside. Locked up and began the journey home.

For 2 minutes, until i came to the first speedbump on the way out of the estate. The first bump is half the size of the next 2 and has gate posts either side so it was a straight on job. gave a nice slow roll over followed by a big long scrape and a big silver snail trail left over the bump. Feck.

Next bump i drove onto the swamp land and waded around it.

Last bump was worst of all with a tree on one side so i had to use the drive-on-the-grass method. Sadly with a meger inch clearence under the car the swamp proved a bit of trouble (damn rain) and i was soon grounded to a halt. Feck.

So between 3am and 3.30am ther was much rocking, revving, reversing, turning of wheels and braking branches off trees to stick around the wheels. Just as i was about to call it quits and set up camp for the night (well, not really, i was gonna fone a mate to toe me out

) i managed to get one wheel back on the tarmac and soon had the car out of the bog! One side of it looking like a well used rally car!

(ill update with pics if im awake when i get home)

A nice calm drive home and straight to bed. Set my alarm for work and it kindly informed me it would wake me in 2 hours and 48 minutes time, Oh Joy.

So what did you guys get up2 last night?

P.S. if you think that took a long time to read, you should have been there last night

Yeh, it could have been worse. While i was stuck in the mud the rain stopped which i thought was rather kind of it. but once i got goin again it started back up luckily i filled the tank up on wed

I should have called in sick, i cant wait to get home back to my bed. The boss is in meetings for most of the day too so i may have a wee snooze later

Might take tomorrow off though, girlfriend has the day off too so could have a nice relaxing day and let the S sit and sulk so it knows im not happy with it!

My mate just reminded me. With the exhaust off i started it up to hear the racket it would make with just the manifold and down pipe attached.

Big deisel tractor springs to mind lmao, stupidly loud and sounds absolutly rank!

Mystic^p · 1st November 2006, 13:16

Heres a couple pics my mate just sent me:

The stupid bent bolt that links that Cat pipe and centre section. took ages to get off. Yes that silver line was a half assed atempt at hacksawing it off

Not the straightest bolt or bracket in the world!

Tough to make out but that should all be green, that would be where the passenger side front wheel was

a V what? only took one phtoo of the mud spray, ir might have made some of u cleaning whores feel a bit faint had you seen the whole car
