I have come to the conclusion that all tyre monkeys are f**king speds.

Thanks Dan for balancing my wheels up proper :thumbsup:

Sounds good :) meet you at your place at 10?

call it 11 bro. Its 5 minutes to lakeside from here, and I have a 30th to go to the night before.

Just settled in at home after a hard days work, beer in hand and bad movie to watch when *Ring ring* oh it's my phone. Answer phone, "What's that? Flying squad hitting the venue tonight? Yay, there goes my night off!" Into car, back at work now.

For those that don't know the flying squads are MAJOR audits/raids conducted by members of WHSO Qld, Dept of Fair Trading, OLGR, QPS, QFS and occasionally Dept of Employment and Dept of Immigration. Major not fun times for all involved. I have 99% of my ducks in a row, let's hope they don't go looking for number 100 :P

What/Who happened?

Ergh.. cbf typing. Short story of my most recent adventure:

- 8 tyres that need to be swapped around on rims and changed inside edge to outside

- I put masking tape on each tyre labelling what rim it should go on and what edge it was

- dude said he would need em for two hours

- left em there all day, went to pick em up after work and they weren't done

- went back the next day and got them, spoke to a different dude and apparently the reason they weren't done was coz the tyre monkey f**ked up and put the wrong tyres on the wrong rims and had to start again.

- anyway get home and a bunch of wheel weights have fallen off into the tray of the ute on the way home. A heap more have fallen off since then. Seems they didn't clean them before sticking the weights on, or bang them down on or anything...

- most of the rims had 200-300g worth of weights on them, when Dan re-balanced them today I think the most he put on one was 100g, the rest took about half that.

And I have been dicked around a few times in the past, things like tyres being put on the wrong direction, etc. Basically they are all dumb shits and should be shot.

Martin which shop was this?

This particular case was just a tyre shop right near my work. I have used em a number of times before without issue though.

Previous cases have been a number of other shops.

Driving sister to work on Saturday morning never gets any easier, freezing ma titties off

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
