Always a bad feeling when you lose a tool, worse when you lose it in a scrapyard.

Pretty good feeling when you go back two days later and it's exactly where you left it
had that a few times on different sites.. i was gutted the other day as a bent my favorite drill bit on a home job the other day, ive got loads but i always pick that one lol

Just had my Cupra R on the rollers at Badger 5 - made a healthy 228hp stock. After a remap, it is pushing 280hp and feels like a totally different car.
when i had my Pd mapped it was same, no lag and smooth though power range and better after removing the restrictive cat

I used to go to our local scrappy with my sister. We'd have a mental list of what we were looking for, but tactically, without letting on we were desperate, would try to get things thrown in & because my sister was older & blonde, they took the bait 😁 Sometimes my pockets were lined with small bits, slipped in of course. 🫣

Amazing they lasted so long. Letting people loose in scrapyards would be an H&S nightmare today!

Well I had a mate who could av been a boyzone lookalike, but I don't think that would've 🤔 worked as well as ur sister lol. Yeah we use to hide a few small bits in the tool boxes, think most came away with more than they went in with. Good day's.

You're definitely not wrong mate, think it was safer when I had a surfing lesson than climbing up them poorly balanced motors ontop of each other 😆, u were ready for a afternoon pint after a scrapyard visit.
