Peugeots deserve no love.  That car is seriously cursed.:)

Sorry about the tire dude, that sucks.  I feel your pain; I had to change a tire on the side of the highway last night after driving over some construction debris myself.

Peugeots deserve no love.

Absolutely backed, with one exception:

So I guess there is a bit of love in my heart for Peugeot… Not much though...

I have developed reverse midas touch this week, everything I've touched has turned to shit 

[Seul]

I hate unsuspected delays… Was supposed to send out a package (the IHSH-07 shirt) on Tuesday, now it's gonna happen tomorrow... Ordered new stamps on Monday, but then didn't get any mail on Tuesday since our glorious mailmen went on a strike (can't blame 'm though)... So Wednesday my stamps arrived, sans fecking custom papers, rendering the stamps useless... Went and picked up the forms today at the PO, so I can ship tomorrow...

Hardest thing is PM'ing the buyer saying "So yeah... Here's what happened..."

Seul the worst part about when things like that happen it just sounds like a lame excuse to the other party.

[Seul]

Indeed!.. That's what I hate most!.. Shit I normally always ship within 12/ 24 hours, then this happens… 

[madmonday]

stop making lame excuses & get it sent seul    oh by the way a funny thing happened & i still haven't sent out your package   

will get it out tomorrow or saturday as things have been crazy for me this past week.  the worse part is i went to the post office to get some things sorted but left the package at home 

**for some reason all my little faces didn't show up on my original teasine message

As I told ya, Mickey: no hurries, no worries!.. I still gotta find you a suitable beer/ gift…  ::)

Truthfully: I was Googling a pic of a GTi 205 to add to my post, but couldn't find a decent one…

My mate at work as a a green one (1.9) in immaculate condition that he only drives in summer. Its a nice thing (if a bit tinfoily)

@Finn666:

@Shoreman:

Bah, so you go a week without buying an IH shirt. No biggie…;)

True, but still…tire is was brand new and it's just fucked since i really don't need this atm.
An honestly, i would rather buy an IH-Shirt as a new tire.

@injunjack:

How badly? tires can be repaired, and it can be just a leaking valve…

well it's an 3cm (1.5inch) long rip and i think unfixable (well that's what the guy from the tire-store said!)

here ya go:
¨

already ordered a new tire and picking it up by tomorrow. 130SFr. …not much but still fecked 

ok i have to take back the "i would rather buy an IH-Shirt as a new tire" sentence…just let me add: i love the company i work for

Did they do something super cool, like pay for your new tire?  Or is this a more general comment?

1st option mate, 1st option ;)…

[madmonday]

they should pay for it if it happens on the job site.  makes sense as their insurance covers it. . . but it's great that they didn't make you go through a bunch of red tape to get that information.

thumbs up for the folks you work for

yap…1000 thumbs up for them.
made a phone order yesterday, right after i've changed the tires and today i went to the boss of my boss and asked him about it...the only thing he said:

"yeah just go ahead and we pay the bill. we just gonna take of 500SFr. from your next paycheck and we're good..."

so yeah, i'm pretty happy with the outcome of this...

[madmonday]

yeah he was joking.  i'm slow in the mornings. . . afternoons & in the evenings when i'm getting up to speed i go to sleep
