Yes they did, the car was left with them and then picked up, they did the complete hand wash. Nope the roof has never been sprayed as far as we know, and we've had it 4 years. There is some pitting etc and marking on the roof but there wasn't before, the car was parked outside our house under a tree and consequently it had a lot of sap on the roof from the last month or so, which is why we took it to them to clean rather than just go to a car wash. What we can surmise is that the sap was very tough to get off and they put on a special stuff to loosen it and then jetwashed it too hard and the stuff they had put on softened the lacquer too. The car has been pretty well looked after although it is a bit older and they're saying it hadn't and was a mess, we're taking it to some painting places this evening to see what they say about the condition of the paint, and imo regardless of what condition the pain is in they shoul;dnt have kept going if they were in doubt it would damage the car,

Thats a real shame that this has happened, that tree sap stuff is a headnip to remove, When I used to sell a few cars I had to use "T-Cut" to remove it.  Hope you get it sorted then,

Sorry, did "Dobbies" actually do the operation of the jetwash?

It's hard to tell from the pics, but are there small blemishes/spots all through the paint, obviously I dont mean the big patches where the laquer has come off,

The little blemishes could indicate a poor finish. Has the car been sprayed before?

Also, don't those jetwash things always have an indemnity saying the user is soley responsible etc...?

What is that site? 

 

Edit - This was a good un

Just found it on an "aberdeen stuff, google" type search,

Not sure how many would be aware of this story, id assume a lot of you,

My point with this thread is, do you think its fair that a person can be punished for a comment he makes in private, when he thinks there is no one around to hear it apart from him and the person he is having the conversation with?

 

To put it in a way we can relate too, if you dont like your boss and you call him a cunt to his face, your likely to get sacked, we'd all think that is fair, but what if you called him a cunt to someone, when you were in your own home, and a recording of that reached him, and you were sacked, would it still be a fair sacking? 

 

BTW im not sticking up for the guy for what he said, it was clearly wrong, but is it right that he is forced to sell his team, and is banned for life, for saying something in private he never would have said in the public? Or is it right that anyone who makes any claim, be it private or not, gets hammered for it? 

I abhore baited secret recording, but if you're racist in private, you're still racist.

Had a listen yesterday teatime, I like that you achieved a good "heavy heavy" sound, and I like that you dont try and make it go all "blastbeat", Good riffing stuff Joda

I'm sitting here looking at various posts on here as you do.

 

How was it for you?

 

PS. Sorry if this has been done before.

Epic thread

Sometimes I cant remember, but an outline;

I was forced to take piano lessons as a 6/7 year old, absolutely hated it, I didn't get a choice, eventually got to give up when the family moved to aberdeen, fast forward to age 10/11 the school was offering guitar lessons, and we had a spanish acoustic in the house which I took along, I was totally dismayed when they started teaching "Daddy's Taking Us To The Zoo Tomorrow", I gave up immediately....

Got hooked up with a real guitar tutor about age 12/13 and he was an epic player, but taught "classical", so I just slacked it and eventually lost interest, My dad was playing full time paying our mortgage, so wtf, music, too normal....too ordinary.

My dad took a synth home to test from Brian Middletons shoppie, I sneaked a shot when he was out, and it blew up!!! WTF!!!  I was terrified of the consquences, but he never found out it was me wot broke it....

Later in my early teens I did try jamming the guitar again, but couldnt get it. Didnt matter, no ambition anyway, Then late teens, punk rock made low skill music popular... I got a shot of an SG copy, and jammed some UK Subs stuff with some guys fae Kincorth.... Never a real band, just garages and youth clubs,... Fast forward to mid twenties, and I found myself lying in the boneward with my guitar arm minced, and all I wanted to do was play, play music, my head was flooded with tunes, from rock to orchestral and everything in between, I simply couldn't switch it off. I had to buy a synth, I had to learn play and record these tunes,

I was in between bone ops, and living in student flats, art students.. heads full of dreams, and lots of music, I got asked to join Worser Than Louis, and then Hotlips formed, It got too intense, my head was spinning, I moved out of town to the highlands,

I played in a couple of awful bands, and a steady band, after years I moved back to town and joined an aberdeen band, they almost got famous after being on TV and then they split up, I've done solo stuff since then, recorded whole albums even, but I'm not chasing rainbows, I wanted this year to be different, to get some improving happening, but so far I've been dogged by depression, so I'm just taking it easy as far as music goes, no sweat, no rush, no hunger.

Still a good thread though

Quite a nice song, nice melodic guitar playing, and a nice "sensitive" feel about it. Keep it up.

Sorry to hear this, Dave was a genuinely nice guy. RIP.

Got sacked by an oil firm when I was lying in the bone ward at woodend hospital, The Co sent me a letter saying that because I was unfit for work(I'd just had major surgery) I was not required back. Then within days and while I was still in there, a chinook helicopter that I'd previously flown on dozens of times went down off shetland.

I knew a lot of the guys on the flight too, heavy as f*kc

It was a sign that told me what the oil was really about.

Just had a listen to this, it's great, well put together, and well done,

And also "Donations from proceeds will be going to The Scottish Association Of Mental Health"

Thats a really good cause.

"having assimilated Lyin Ryan's posting style"

Yo da best

I would imagine it was because he was quoting him.

 

That is frequently what inverted commas are used for.

Thats correct, thanks.

I gave the same kind of response when my father in law asked me to take his speeding points to save him getting banned, as he needs to drive for his job.

While I do feel sorry for Jake, if he got sacked for failing a drugs test it is his own fault. It's widely known that if you go into the oil industry, they drug test and will sack you for failing. I have been done for drink driving, but not when I needed to drive for my job and when I did I made sure I didn't drink and drive.

Thats interesting too, and I seem to remember that offshore drilling crews were the biggest heads on the rig, changed days and showing my age ha..

"health issues"

Sorry to hear that,

I got sacked today.

Camerons Britin

Anyone else watch or follow MotoGP, ?

Yesterdays first round of the season was great to watch, Reigning champion Marc Marquez took first place, after a tussle with old goat(greatest of all time)Valentino Rossi who finished second, Marquez' team mate Danni Pedrosa took third.

Britains Bradley Smith rode well before crashing in the late stages, and Cal Cruthchlow and Scott Redding took 6th and 7th places respectively

An exciting start to the season with promise of more great racing to come.

I like Doctor Cloud.
