What Did You Do To Your Car/Truck Today

[canthai55]

Glovebox latch - 20 years old - on our town car broke.

Tracked one down and replaced it.

Was pleasantly surprised I could even find one - Dealership just laughed ... too old.

Nothing I brought a Toyota. Just went shopping, and then out for an Alfresco coffee with a few friends. Yes everything is open here. Thank you Buddha.

My first 4 wheel ride in 1967 (I think), a 1959 split screen with a 1961 engine, had some fun in that...????

That's a simple answer. I left the house got into the car and pressed the button and as usual away it went. Oh I did have to press another button to cancel the engine stop/start thing from operating. After that I just drove it. As normal it ran perfectly. As I have said it's a Toyota so would expect nothing more.

Sorry you said you BROUGHT a Toyota.

I do realise that English is difficult eg Bought and Brought and Bough, Tough and Though and Thought and Trough etc etc!   LOL

What did I do to my car today?

I looked at it and decided that, as it was disgustingly dirty, I would clean it tomorrow.

And the same COMPLIMENTS to you. 

 

I regard the Great Unwashed as you call them, are those who submit their post before reading and spell checking it.

In my defense I have just changed my server to Edge and it has auto grammar check. It will change things to what it thinks it should be. Works fine on Emails but any other site it changes things without any warning. If you don't double check prior to posting your left with what it has decided to do. N/B At times it does change to USA Spelling/Grammar. Then your really Bug/ered.

Back on topic, I just used my trusty tyre guage to check things are OK as I am off up country soon....????

I didn't take any O levels I was to busy earing monies. Don't have time to mess about trying to change Edge auto set up. Ok site? but it does tend to do what it wants. At least some on here will have a full time job. They more than likely cant fathom that 80% on TVF. English isn't their first language. Oh a happy new year to all.

O-levels were taken in your last year of school.

 

LT would have told you about another spelling error you just made, download it....If not, check your post first..

Maybe we should give the grammar police bit of a rest now. I think even my complements which had inverted commas probably went over the head of quite a few people.

Replaced the upper control arms, both sides. A lot faster and easier than faffing about replacing the shredded bushings.

 

lazada is your friend too!

 

Happy New Year and happy trails to all TV's petrol (and diesel) heads.

Never even looked at them. I went for a walk with the horses. 

[Kwasaki]

Did nothing with the truck it's just parked up in the carport. 

Yesterday drove the daughter In-laws Mazda 2 and I was impressed what a nice little car to drive once I showed what pressure is best in the tyres. ????

[heist]

Fitted one of those fake Nardi steering wheels as the sun was destroying my old one.
