    Yes it can get worse and as said probably will do once the garage see the CCTV and you get done for damages...

    I think the general idea is to loosen the wheelnuts before you jack up the car...

    Got bored and read the replies. A much more interesting read.
    Thanks for the summary Stevie lee.

    The amount of so anyway's used reminded me of a guy at Uni who has social skill problems.

    Come off it! It was a rant, and the style reflects that. There's no point adding to the guys problems by critiscising his punctuation!

    I sure as hell know I don't punctuate my "verbal" rants... it comes out all in one block, just like the OP.

    I think the Grammar police should just give a guy a break sometimes, or we'll have another outbreak of the Feisty thread.

    Re: Can it get any worse?

    aww, i was hoping he would turn green and start throwing cars around.

    which may be better actually as he certainly doesn't know how to lift them with a jack!

    Re: Can it get any worse?

    TBH I wouldn't know how to lift a car with a jack, so I don't see the issue, and being late and flustered and generally hacked off at unhelpful people doesnt help matters one bit.

    You should see me trying to parallel park with people in the car, can't do it for the life of me. If they get out, then I'm fine.

    Poor guy came on here to let off steam and you're all ripping into him, seriously guys, that's not really the way we do it here, is it?

    here here, there's too many people on here ready to jump on the bandwagon to slag someone off, or at least that's how it's seemed lately

    i think, if some humour can be found in an otherwise bad situation then at least something good came from it. and the world is a little happier

    Re: Can it get any worse?

    I pity the OP. That was a bad start to the morning to put it mildly... Shame he had to let off steam on these forums where quite a few folks obviously have their heads stuck up their arses

    I'm not sure it was a good idea to grab the air compressor though!
