Just got motivation back and then..........
I go out to the garage at lunch today, to get a few things for work. Find that the car is somehow now burried into my work bench. My 3 tonne jack has
collapsed, causing the car to move forward on the jacks wheels, falls off the rear axle stands and now sits rather akwardly on the floor. No wheels on
her yet. Had to get the wife to retreive the axle stands whilst I lift the back end up. Now done my bl00dy back in
Now, do I go out there tonight and try and straighten her up ( the car and not my mrs!) or do I leave it till I've calmed down. And yes, before
anyone says so, I know I should not have left it on a jack
Still, could be worse, no damage done to the car.
Any one got a couple of spare axle stands the want rid of??
Andy

Bad luck!
Personally I would walk away and have a beer.
ps thanks for telling us, I had kinda thought jacks collapsing was H&S talk.

working whilst in "RED MIST" mode is counter productive, you'll only end up makeing even more mistakes, leave it 24/48 ours and go
back!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Exactly, doing anything in anger isn't a good idea. In fact some poker pros make an effort to upset you and put you "on tilt" so
you're off your game
