#ZedShed banter thread

[GazHyde]

Breakfast meet before #ZedShed. We needed a stand in for @pgunter who was off to the lakes for the weekend. We drafted in the owner of Lee's old ///M Roadie to take his place. It's working out quite well so far, so may have to make a tough decision on letting Paul back again - get cooking the Lemon cakes Paul....

Sophie with the 4's...

 

[GazHyde]

A few tasks to be carried out today, first of all the assembly of the press. Pretty darned sturdy, lots of bits and crappy instructions. Just like an Ikea wardrobe... Should be perfect for sorting out them pesky beam bushes!

After this we changed the front pads on the Z3 ///M. Performance stopping stuff...

Not much late braking left on these

Also reset the air bag light which came on a while ago using the B800 Airbag reset tool. The ///M should be coming back in a couple of months for an oil service and good look over, so plenty of pics when that happens.

Do I see illegal parking?

 

[hard top]

When I saw the pic of the bits in the box I thought,,errm
When put together though, looks quit substantial.

 

[littlefeller]

looks like its from Clarke, they make some good stuff. the more i see the z4 coupe the more i like it. as soon as the last of the kids have gone then i would have room for another car, thinking maybe i should just kick them out anyway its not like there not old enough, then i could have one of those coupe and keep the 3 for top down driving

What tonnage is the bottle Jack rated at ? I was under the impression that the beam bushes needed something like 30 ton or more to shift them.

Tony.

 

[GazHyde]

11 ton I think, but as always it's not so much what you have but how you are doing it. I know Lee has it all under control...

That's what I used to tell the ex wife.

 

[pgunter]

@GazHyde I was representing the southern group as you in your z4 could not make ( or as Hugh put it, were scared to be shown up by the z3's ) bloody cheek replacing me indeed.

 

[hard top]

bloody cheek replacing me indeed.

They could fit more people in the garage...

@pgunter have a good time at Grumpys?

Don't you start dragging threads off topic...

 

[GazHyde]

A late start in the ZedShed today so we missed our usual bacon butties to tide us over... so we had a working lunch instead on an improvised picnic table...

 

[Althulas]

Mmmmm pork pies

 

[t-tony]

Mmmmm pork pies

No,not really. They're only snack size, not proper ones.

Tony.

 

[pgunter]

@t-tony They might be smaller... but @GazHyde treated us to sausage rolls, scotch eggs, the little pork pies and loads of other things such as doritos and also some very nice donuts.. Hmmmmm... a very good day.

 

[EnthuZiaZT]

I think there is going to be some very overweight mechanics at the southern Zed shed!!!

Mike

 

[pgunter]

@EnthuZiaZT Not really.. we actually do some work rather than stand around with a cup in our hands all day unlike some of the other Zed Sheds I hear about...

 

[GazHyde]

Already are

 

[Lee]

So which one of you knocked over the Doritos bag and kept quiet? Went for a drive yesterday and apparently I was leaking triangle shaped objects
