Yeah its the Mclaren roll cab, Ive got the bottom half (with out the Mclaren badge)
Jeff, the £2000+ doesnt include any tools, your looking at another £20,000 to fill it with Snap-On tools.
Most jobs would provide you with the tools you require to make them money/do the job they are paying you for, not mechanics, we have to buy our own  >:(

aint that the truth! makes me angry...  >:(

and when you lose a tool, that makes me even more angry.

and when you leave tool/s in a car and you know the customer will never bring it back as they think thay have just had one over on the company because of their expensive invoice makes me bloody fume with anger  >:( >:(

please return my lost/forgotten tools  :-*

Having wrestled with wheel bearings (and lost) over the weekend I can happily say the only tool I need currently is a press. Fecking stupid bearings.
