Thread: What's worse for you, Maccas or Toyotas?

I guess it depends on which one has been super sized

Bugger, that's a bit scary!

A work mate only 50 had a similar experience a month ago.
A balloon and a stent and he's all good.

Look after yourself Don. A mate of mine has just gone through the same. He gets his car licence back on Boxing Day, truck licence after stress testing.

I reckon the Tojo did it too.
(seems like a whodunnit!)

I've survived Maccas on multiple entry and egress undertakings .. lived to tell the tale, so to speak.
But that's a bit of an amplification of the actual truth. Truth be told, I really only enter Maccas for a late night coffee, and or the use of the ablutions.

But the Toyota damned near killed me, and actually partially disabled one of my most used tools the other day.
To start with, and brief convo with my mechanic a dew days prior, ended up in him giving me automotive acquisition advice to the effect that I should just get myself a Toyota.
Having been a dedicated(to my financial disadvantage) Rover vehicle nutcase for 30+ years.. I ignored it as an attempt to boil my blood
So the other day, I get a call from my dad, to explain that sisters Rav4 had done it's drive belt(serpentine belt).

Brother in law tried in vain to install the new one, being seemingly too short. Tensioner wouldn't pull back enough to get new one on.
No amount of force would allow more movement in the tensioner, till at some random point it freed past the blocked point and almost allowed enough room to fit new belt.
So obviously the tensioner was bung.
he ordered a new tensioner too .. and a couple of hours of much cursing at the lack of space allowed to remove the tensioner .. I left wishing them all the best with their tojo.
I had kids to feed that night.
BIL got his son to help later that day while I fed my kids on a diet of chook(nice) and roast spuds and a massive salad .. diametrically opposed to the gastronomic evil of the golden arches.
Needless to say no heart attack on my end, other than a few spurious palpitations for a couple of hours, whilst in the vicinity of the Tojo!
So I reckon you're on the money, re the toyota as the most likely culprit.

best wishes for your issue, as my dad had a recent attack too which ended up in him getting a stent too, and he's lost a lot of his old vigour(even at 80+) since.

Hopefully I'll be back in the saddle soon - still got a mortgage to pay off!

Take care and avoid those evil arches !
Needless to say , I am of the age where I should really be watching after my own wellbeing more than I do .

Definately the Toyota mate - my Mums parter has just had a new valve and bypass yesterday - he drives a Land Cruiser and doesn’t eat Maccas - case closed.


Hope you’re on the mend soon. 👍

Over exertion - stop playing on the slippery slides and monkey bars.
