Maybe the gym is on the other side of Flick Knife Alley?
What have you done to your car today?

Dicey place man! I could excuse him then but tbh the only people in crook with cars are the dealers and they're made men anyways!

I guess if his gym was on the other side of Flick Knife Alley, then he would be well 'roided anyway.

Its a dark narrow stretch with crazy drivers, so generally for safety. The rest of the time its to save me carrying everything
To be fair someone was knifed not far away.
I'll make it worse, its a max 5 minute walk.
Bro! Bro.....bro...all about the calories, man. Not going to get swole if you're expending calories on pointless walking. Those 30 calories burnt walking half a mile could mean the difference between wearing an XXL (lawl) and an XXXL. I suspect, like many gym bros, he drives through the window of the gym, crashing in to the wall next to the benches, and just rolls out the now smashed driver side window on to a bench

I mean, this is a fair point too. A 5 minute walk is far too much cardio.
Sorry but you're officially going in the lazy box! Get roided up so when you're stabbed the knife can't even penetrate to anything vulnerable. If your neck ain't the size of the average mans quads you're just weak.

Don't tell me you drive to the gym to use a treadmill!

one of these.
It wont be loosening suspension parts anytime soon but the general stuff it does pretty well. Its worth it just to undo those bolts that have your knuckles skimming sharp heat shields
If/When it breaks i'll be investing in a decent one for sure!!

It would spoil all the fun of having your hands look like a bare knuckle boxers 
Another puncture, another new tyre, thankfully this was the opposite side from the last one (5-6 weeks ago, and the car wasn't used for about 3 weeks in between due to a flood at the bottom of the road).
Was quite an unusual item that caused the puncture (at least I thought it was!).

I've been laid underneath it, checking over suspension items for wear with the assistance of one of these, a laser suspension tool part 6161 if anyone was interested.
The suspension is bearing the weight of the vehicle using this method and testing this way is closer to how suspension moves/reacts when the vehicle is driven,
rather than having the suspension dangling under its own weight whilst the vehicle is on a (typical) two post hoist.

Nope, it's a house key! I was driving along and the tyre pressure monitor came on so I parked up and got out, could hear the air escaping immediately so I walked back along the road to see what may have caused it (and remove it from the road to stop it happening to anyone else), I then found the end of a mangled key in the road and the rest appears to have been stuck in the tyre.
