Life skill acquired: changing van brake discs and pads. Old disc: disgusting.

Discs would not come off. Deployed the Fuck You Disc device. Now my discs are shiny.

My old pads were grody and my new pads are Brembos. Caliper was a fucking buttface so I attacked it with a clamp.

When I was a naive little tomboy I thought being a mechanic would be badass, but turns out it's just rust, swearing and a large rubber mallet.

Final pics with BFF Buggy. Sale's all done — time to plan something new.

Buggy with our badass tyres mounted on the Smiths rims. The new owners are picking it up tomorrow. I hope they love it.

And don't judge my stitching on those sheepskins too harshly. 😌

The oddness of reblogging this post about car stereos a day before calling my 70-year-old dad to chat and having him explain his attempts to source and purchase a new single din system for his beloved 2005 Peugeot 1007 that will potentially transfer into the Bentley Turbo R he has been talking about buying for the last seven years.

For a while we narrated our concurrent exploration of eBay looking for a single din Pioneer with a touchscreen. This is far beyond the kit my friends bought for their cars when we were teens, but the concerns about gobs of wiring remain much the same.
