Done it!

Post by Devilsypug »

Finally got the towbar on the car. Went on a treat - very easy to fit. Here is a little breakdown of how I did it...
8:30am bright & sharp on Saturday morning, texted gullible friend who just happens to be attending a mechanics course at the local college & explained that I, being such a good friend & thinking of him :cheesy: , had created an ideal project for his college homework.
9:30am, whipped the car round to his Dad's garage (complete with inspection pit - very handy 8) ) & proceeded to make a cuppa, bacon sarnie, roll up, dirty jokes, etc....
12:45pm, woke up from refreshing nap on said friends parent's sofa to find towbar magically fitted & working. proceeded to make another cuppa while friend washes grit out of bleeding/skinned knuckles - offer lots of praise, drink tea & smoke roll up.
2:00pm arrive home & proudly proclaim to missus that I have fitted towbar all alone while said friend lazed about drinking tea & smoking, recieve lots of praise & symathy in form of fry up & cuppa.

Good hard days work that.... :twisted:
