    Just had “Zoom” meeting with boss and the other team members
    Of “Team Meat”

    Looks like we got a 1995 Benz in next week, the one with infrared key
    The module in boot full of adblue(r) customer had barrel in the boot
    Got it home, no pig piss in barrel, boot stinks wont start now.

    Not even red/green lights flash! Don’t think the information to remove
    The immolation system is available anymore

    So, unless anybody knows different, another unfixable car
    For scrap

    Three unfixable cars today

    1) Shitron C3 engine ecu lost one coil output

    To soak in dia-metria-methane or what ever its called.
    For two days customer too impatient for that. Scrap yard it goes

    2) hybrid poo-go. Inverter got hole init but no way to
    Tell if will do again. New invertrr more than car worth
    Used is again OTP and got sone queer Arm processer- so
    Unfixable

    3) prius this is a friends garage coolant not been changed
    Clogged up cooling fins, car now scrap

    Lucky sod having no unfixable cars to work on or customers moaning about the bill or the fact you can’t fix their unfixable cars.

    We are really busy and have bin since last june.
    We have filled three nearby streets with unfixable cars or those
    That means spending more than £100 on to fix.

    Nobody is having anything serviced just mot failure and broken stuff

    Another one!

    “Reasonably priced Suzuki Liana” “failed mot on airbag light, been
    On 11 months”

    Dealer part only 600 nuggets + VAT.

    Means unfixable as guy only uses it to go fishing in!

    It smells like a fish pond on wheels

    Blah blah blah covid covid covid.

    We at M-H-M have invested recently, we got new toilet brush and some “happy shopper” coffee.

    The customers we are getting, should not really be customers. How can
    You jusify “Going to see Meat for new radio” as essential journey.
    We are in “Teir 76” right now.

    As for “V-tec” not everyone has a honda and not everyone buys kid toys.

    What a load of fuds. How many were surveyed? The 10 old people
    Waiting with their cars because they “have no where to go” despite having a free
    Bus pass.

    If you all all that to MOT will be millions more “failures” and more
    Unfixable cars as nobody want to pay £130+VAT for genuine parking sensor
    From the dealer as nobody else can supply.

    Landrover rear camera replacement from dealer there are different ones
    £250+VAT! Soo many wires, tooooo small to modify

    Great magic, chances are if a turbo has gone pop going to be either
    Worn out, FOD or user error.

    How many people come steaming down motor way, then turn off as soon as hits yard?

    Them ponces on top gear on telly, they rag stuff then just turn engine off
    Because they are fuds.

    Nothing new, would have been better off instead of tweeting there and then tweet
    “Leaving town not sure when coming back”

    Leave it inside her car, then put inside a metal box, so it gets good/bad signal
    Bus ride to somewhere for holiday, stick device on a bus or take taxi
    Somewhere leave it inside it!
