Drama number 1: Got to work yesterday and got an email saying "oh, sorry, your booking isn't available, screw you". Fuck off, HireAce, never again.
Phone call number 1: Independent hire place, didn't have one for my desired time frame, but did have one IF I could have it back by 430pm Saturday. WIN!
Drama number 2: Tow car overheated while trying to park the trailer, details here:

Solved by Rob/Corbon! <3 Owe you yet another one, mate! THANKS! <3
Dinner has been consumed, and I'm heading for the shower, some GrandTour, then bed for a 6am alarm and 630am departure! Other stuff I got done:
02:07pm <@Fred> sucking in a can of caffiene, then off to get trailer, do chores, come back, move cars, pack car, do more chores, go to sleep, get up early
02:07pm <@Fred> V12 tomorrow :-D
07:41pm <@Fred> 5.5 hours later, I have: picked up trailer, picked up hotel alloys, brought trailer home, parked trailer, overheated stagea, put wheel lock on trailer, abandoned trailer, drove to R33 home, borrowed viscous fan for stagea from skyline, drove back again, removed buggered belts from aircon/ps in 244, removed good belt from main pulley and alternator in 244, removed wheels from boot of 244, stored hotel wheels and volvo wheels behind house neatly, ground surface rust and bubbling paint/bog from 3 spots in 244, 2 in bonnet, one in LHS front door (passenger), reattached stagea to trailer, prepared phone holder and ciggy doubler in stagea, locked stagea for the night, put away tools in garage, prepared things for tomorrow in lounge, and now it's time for a feed, and bed. Yawn. Very tired already.
Not bad for five and a half hours! :-p
