The 'look at what I did today' thread

Woke up today to be told by my mum that some stones have fallen in your car.

Quickly ran outside and saw this

See my cousin pointing at what it actually fell on.

Luckily, no major dents but only scratches that will polish out. Now just moved the car away from there.

Bad luck nitin. You'd better get the rest of that render dealt with, can see there's lots more of it loose there and it'll just keep on spreading now.

Remortgaged the house so I can afford to buy a Land Rover, car ramp and a kitchen

I also decided to find out what happens when you put a 3rd gen boot carpet through the washing machine...

So, wurly, how did the 3g boot carpet cope with a 90 deg wash and 1200 spin?

don't worry duckface, there's no offence taken from anything that anyone has said!

I only risked the carpet at 40 degrees and 800 spin

truth be told it doesn't need any spin, because it doesn't really soak up any water and dries pretty much instantly.

It survived absolutely fine and smells lovely now. It does look a bit cleaner too. Unfortunately though it hasn't shifted some of the stains, so onto plan B (when I work out what plan B is... )

Little shunt outside my house..

A couple of pi$$ed up goons in a Focus estate came down my road last night, way too fast.. first they hit this Toyota on the left

Then they hit this BMW on the right

..and decided to park it here, through two garden walls

Then they legged it off into the distance!

If I had come home 5 minutes earlier they'd have hit me head on..

Was the focus nicked?
