What about the missing 9% Rich? 😀
They’re the ones that try to pretend to be your friend, but only when nobody’s looking, and only ’cause you know where all the good parts are stashed in the local area.
Then there’s the fake Jag (X-type) crowd that are hanging onto the edges and just will talk to anybody to make themselves feel accepted.
It wouldn’t be so bad; but you’ll get some guy that looks like Dumbledore’s grandad, who’ll start telling you what’s wrong with your car.
You can spot him miles away…. he’s the one that looks like he did a stage dive into the dealership clothing store, while covered in superglue. He’ll be dressed head to toe in branded clothing, so will his wife, and the grandkids look like Mini-me’s.
I don’t want to know what he thinks is wrong with it. I know it inside out.
Mine’ll start first time, in all weathers, his won’t (even if it is shiny)
I don’t care if the wing’s in primer (I might be doing it Battleship grey bit by bit)
To be honest I’m more concerned by that the jangling noise from up front of the engine. Suspicion is that the ******* timing chain is rapidly devouring what’s left of the tensioner as it was made from some cheeselike monkey metal by a workshy, bolshy, striking, shandy supping southerner way back in 1960-something….
Time to test it the Northern way… 6000rpm until it goes “Oh dear!” and the big old Jag politely declines to take part in proceedings until a new engine is found.
Somebody, anybody, gimme a coffee.
