I have never been so scared!

[VIICarCare]

Alreet peeps, so I have taken the plunge & decided to get the vee's alloys refurbed at pristine alloys. I have never been so stressed getting her on those bloody axle stands! Its horrible!

So I have her on four axle stands, two trolly jacks, two clio jacks on the sills & four old steelies underneath with wood on top make up the gap! I was so scared!

Hurry up with my wheels please!!!!

P.s Can you laquer callipers?

You can laquer callipers. But V6 callipers can only be laquered with the tears of baby dolphins and frankincense.

If this is the scariest thing that's ever happened to you then you ought to consider yourself lucky. Jesus.

You fail hard. The English spelling is generally calliper.

Join the OP on the silly step.

 

[EllD90]

Very true. I am American, please forgive me.

[Craigus]

I thought she had been mugged or something, Lol.

What's up with the wheels, were they damaged?

I hope you're going for the standard silver again...

 

[Drobbly]

PMSL!, i dont think its going anywhere with half the house under there. xD

 

[VIICarCare]

better to be safe than sorry! Nothing wrong with the wheels really, only slight curbing on one.

I lol'd... although I couldn't help thinking "people in glass houses" :rasp:

 

[Munson]

How's that then?

+1. It's just a car. A s**t french one at that. How do you cope with driving it??

 

[Munson]

TBF it's a bit of a bless really. Only a woman would be worried about sitting a 1500kg car on four axle stands that are probably rated at 2000kg, meaning they'd fail at somewhere near 2600kg. Women eh? f**king retards x

 

[jesus]

How did you curb it when you never drive it?

 

[ForceIndia]

Only a woman could kerb a car that doesn't get driven.

 

[Craigus]

Lol, easy guys.

Oi, it was 10 weeks actually....

^ LOL!

Although they wouldn't use axle stands, would be left on the floor TBH.

 

[red_beastie]

mate sum1 has took ur rims...

i have a nice set of space savers. only £4000

 

[16vfan]

i think someone needs to grow a set lol

 

[Budgie]

If I ever win the lottery, i'm going to buy this car and torch it.

 

[Craigus]

i think someone needs to grow a set lol

Her boyfriend would probably say otherwise.

 

[Lagerlout]

How's that then?

Oil? Brakes?

"It's a f**king Volvo engine. Not a TIE"


Everyone is precious about their car to some extent, you're no different.

 

[Munson]

LOL ok, so looking after an engine, and modifying the car is the same as not daring to jack it up? I know where you're coming from, but that would have been more in context in another thread

 

[Cliotoby]

I dont like roast pork. Some people do though.

In my opinion, its okay to look after you car and detail it. But it is a car at the end of the day. Not a pork joint.
