Mike Oxbiggar Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Took my silencer off earlier and found where the pipe enters the silencer itself there's a crack about three-quarters of the diameter. The crack is in the weld between the pipe and the stainless-steel box. 😳 Took the silencer to the local tyre/exhaust place to be told "you're having a laugh" but they pointed me towards a little back-street mechanic with (mig??) welding. I took the pipe in - the mechanic said.... "You lucky, lucky f**ker" - in the Monty Python stylee............. I'm honoured! Evidently the silencer would have fallen off within a few miles, with the front hitting the deck forcing the rear up through the arch ☹️ Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Mike Oxbiggar Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 *arrowup* Thought of that, Tim - he's a lucky f**ker too then!! FISH AND CHIPS - nothing like it on an English beach! (Well, Waleshire is a county of England, innit!!!) I bet Norman can't get proper English fish & chips in France... 🤔 That must really upset an east-end lad! FLetch - I suspect this 'welder' took my pipe down the Nags Head last night and said "Look what this f***er nearly did".

strongy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We've got a local garage where every other word is the F-word. The guy who used to work there (sadly just left to look after that collection of rare Jags smashed up in Newport here) was a real star. I took my tintop there for MOT and had recently just installed a full stainless exhaust. Car up on the lift, Dave has a look underneath - "F**king hell, how much did that f**ker, f**king cost you? F**k me." Another diagnosis on a seperate occasion - "Your f**king f**kers f**ked!" 😬 😬 😬 When ladies are present he dosn't use a single F-word Dry-sumped White Supersprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Must be something about Dave's In our ex local a youngish (30 something) Farmer called Dave would stand at the bar with gf and 3 year old with every senatnce having an "F" in it. Lanlord would say in a very loud voice "Language - ladies present". He would hesitate, then carry on. "That fcuking tractor of mine......." He really didn't know he was saying it, it was that second nature to him.

Mike Oxbiggar Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Got back from holiday yesterday and had a choice.... Drive straight home from airport or go and collect mended pipe. Pipe it was! Pulled up at garage........... "Oh F***, I've been a right c***, haven't done the f***er yet. Sh1t, forgot you were back today, I'll do the f***er tomorrow" I think he meant that the job is not yet complete.....
