lost my laser level

[doug boardley]

I'd shut the door andy, but i think when the tools shifted something sprung the handle from inside, possibly my straight edge.

I lost the top pulley from my old beetle engine :lol:. I had heavily modified the engine and gave it some beans away from a junction and, as I had not re-fitted the engine lid the extra torque caused the pulley to shatter and spew out the back of my car.
Fortunately, I not lost any tools out the back of my van though.

i,ve never lost any tools ouit of the van either but a couple of months ago i lost 4x 8' by 4' boards off the top, i braked going down a hill as the car in front slowed down but the boards slid forward and down the bonnet of my van and slid on the road till they hit the tyres of the car in front. really embarrassing at the time, no damage luckily, funny thinking back:lol:

was going on a golf away day last summer on a mini coach, there was a trailer for the clubs and holdalls. After about 3 miles on a roundabout a car pulled up along side and spoke to our driver, the roller shutter on the trailer hadn't been closed, we retraced our route and picked up 3 sets of clubs, never lost anything....amazingly..t'was the driver who had supposedly closed the shutter

One way to get the insurance company to buy you a new one!
I am looking for one at present, does anyone have any recommendations?
I was looking at either Stabila LAX50 or Stanley CLL both for around £80-100.
I would appreciate any feedback.
Cheers,

sorry Doug

there is a saying that things happen in 3s hopefully the next 3 will be good luck, ive done it and lost tools, nothing valuable

opened my back door and my screw case fell out and scattered screws all over their gravel drive

side door opened as I pulled away from a junction and an opened bag of cement poured out

but the funniest one [not] was when I was tugged for an insecure load, I looked at the copper and said insecure load ? im a painter, we know we have just followed your trail of lilac emulsion for half a mile LOL

so that was a white bedford cf van with a lilac bumper and a fine off the council for messing their highway up

 

[cornish_crofter]

Despite my having a warning light on the dash of my van I have actually pulled away with the back door open before now!

Fortunately nothing lost.

I have also driven several miles around Plymouth with a piece of 3x2 on the roof. Nothing unusual in that - until you consider that having arrived at B & Q I then realised it wasn't even strapped on!

All I can say Doug is that my karma must have been sent to the wrong person - sorry :LOL:

 

[doug boardley]

my new one came into longhorns today, decided to get the same one as I was really happy with it, luckily the transit is back with the courtesy hire firm now!!
