One patch is engine oil, the other possibly heat from a welder ! Grrrr Leaving the 'oil' patch for now as some grass is growing back.

There is yet another 'car' on the drive having lowering springs fitted. Another Fabia friend !

Can you not lower it onto some bricks overnight?

Then they'd have to leave it there, not what he wants.

He could also arrange for someone to sell the wheels back. With his cut taken off course.

That's what I had in mind - suitably recompensed for his inconvenience, of course.

our "busy season" is just weeks away but our prep is heating up. the owner of the company is 77. last year was the battle of his career. this year he is showing signs of memory loss. he has always struggled with dyslexia, but also is a micro-manager. he's been an inspiration to work for. I never knew how he did it. I can barely handle my own dept's responsibilities. I'm sad for him. this is going to be a hard year. looking forward to December ... when our industry takes a sigh of relief. I hope he can stick it out. wondering where I'll go if/when he sells the business

love the distractions that this & other forums provide! my little escape

Managed to do a load of ironing, the vacuuming done & the kitchen floor cleaned before having to leave for work, so at least it's not been a complete write off of the day.
