Mexicans...... the bastards come in from south of the border!

Probably something to do with the amount of money that gets spent here....

ps: you shouldve stopped in and said hi yesterday!


had the entertaining experience of a trade customers labourer come in wanting a timing kit..... he didnt know what it was for, just expected me to match up the bits..... first he thought it was for a V6 prado, he made a phone call, no, its a v6 hilux..... what year? dunno..... second phone call and he snatches the parts up and storms out.....

shame i'm on very good terms with the workshop foreman and the manager..... he isnt in any more trouble, but at least next time he'll know to find out what the parts are for first! strangely, it was for a 4 cylinder hilux.....

You think it's just people going crazy, Dave. At a local ag show yesterday I watched a harnessed up Clydsedale go nuts. It skipped out of the gate of the car parking paddock, lashing out wildly with its giant steel clad hooves, crashed sideways into the gate, then pirouetted around onto the bonnet of some poor old dear's EB Falcon smashing the windscreen and side window before sliding off in a heap of tangled traces. Luckily no major damage to horse or human, but it goes to show, take care out there, it's a mad, bad world.
