I love that colour blue, Cav. What's it called? Wouldn't mind getting myself one in that colour.

The Cavulater's Ute is actually Breeze, rather than some sort of Blue. It has changed colour in the photo due to cheep phone camera.

Did I tell youse about the CD stacker thingy?

It no worky

When trying to load a CD it justs ejects it, I tried a few different CDs, even heavy rock.

Nah, no go.

Russ, who will remain nameless, suggested checking the fuse.

Hah! What does he know, if the fuse was cactus there would be no power to the player? N'est ce pas?

OK so I pulled the fuse.

It looked OK, so In put it back.

The audio system came back on with this message "audio code error."

Audio code?

I checked the books, the originals that came with the car.

Nufink.

**** you Russ!

Then for some strange reason, I started the car and voila, the CD player works.

I take it back Russ

You is de man!

Well, maybe my industry is different, so not so much fuses, but we call it a power cycle. People in the IT game call it a re boot. Its all terms to not make people sound stupid on the invoice when the fix was turn it off, kill the power, whatever, wait a minute, turn it back on and it works. A lot of dodgey will sting for un neccisary parts, and hence charge throught the nose.

The Pub is for General Automotive Related Talk and even though Cav was only a Major (and not a General) in 'Nam this thread is in it's rightful place.

Not to mention that he would probably put his bayonet back between his teeth and track us all down if we moved it!

some learned colleagues may have taken my previous commwntbthe wrong way.
What I was trying to get across was that due to the uniqueness of Major Disaster his thread should be elevated to have a section all to itself and not just included in all the usual humm drumm that all that accumulates in the Pub section

On initial look, the payload was camouflaged and I thought you were referring to throwing Miss Penny over the fence

You need a fire pit and outdoor chairs, beers, and that pile will turn into multiple nights of sitting around and outdoor warmth. Or atleast thats what i do after i trim my trees. I also get mates to come around and join me in the beer category, drinking on your own is sad.

Well OK, after being harassed about my big project I decided to reveal all today.

The problem is I didn't take many pics.

The clip was loose on the front mudflap.

I pushed it back into place.

Don't believe I could handle such a delicate job?

Here's proof ...
