Wow! This thread is becoming livelier as more and more B series owners starting to join. For my truck, it just came from repairs. I just had my wheel hubs, brake shoes, brake drums replaced. The damage to my wallet... I don't wanna think of it anymore.hehe It makes me sad.hehe It's given once a car is old and travelled a very long distance. At least now it runs not really like new but a lot faster. The thing is my enjoyment was cut short last night.
There was a checkpoint last night at Belfast, Fairview so the traffic was crawling. Suddenly we felt the car shook then when I looked in the sidemirror, I saw a bus hit me putting scratches on the side panel and bumper then sort of crack in the brake light. There were cops but it just proved how incompetent they are coz they didn't even help considering they could clearly see me. I alighted from the car and talked to the stupid driver and after a few mins, maybe they thought it's about time for them to look what happened coz I was causing traffic. What did the cop do? Nothing. All he said was "di ka at tumitingin sa side mirror mo." to the driver. To me, he never said anything. He looks at me as if he doesn't know what to do. There were lots of them since it was a checkpoint but some were just sitting, texting, chatting or not doing anything while others are busy checking vehicles. Then I told the driver just give me 500. He said he only has 200. I was already tired so I just got the 200. I know whatever I do, those poor and stupid drivers won't give me anything. Like what happened when a bus hit my civic a few months ago by that arrogant driver. Not a single cent was paid.
Oh well, so another damage to my truck. With all the scratches and dents, it's becoming a war car.hehe At least it's not a smoke belcher. I am planning to have it repainted once I have enough budget for it. But for me what matters is the performance. I miss the looks of my truck when I saw sir zner2525 posted a picture of his truck. It looks so nice, sir, we have the same color, teal green. Your truck is well taken care of.
For EB, I wish I could attend too and meet all the Mazda B owners too. Maybe on your next EB you wanna try Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill but I don't suggest that place if you wanna have a beer time. Or you could try Harbor View beside Manila Ocean Park.
By the way, where do you buy your air filters? I have replaced mine for the first time, I don't remember replacing it before, and it seems that the filter doesn't fit well in the container. It moves around giving a vibrating sound since the diameter and the height are not enough to hold it into place. What I did was to customize it. I placed a thick rubber around it so that it won't move from side to side then placed a padding on top of it in a way that it reaches the cover of the air filter box providing more support so that it won't go out into place when the car hit road bumps. I guess that did the trick but of course, I want the perfect fit and it seems that all the shops that I asked, they are clueless. They even asked me for a sample but I said the sample is already wrong so I can't give you a correct sample.
So much for the week. Happy weekend, guys! Stay safe.
thanks for the compliment sir..I hope it would last.. because my father is using it for our small ironworks business.. he always loads it a bunch of metals for delivery..
and for the truck's maintenance.. ayoko magsalita pero di siya ganun kaganda magmaintain.. kung matatagpian, tatagpian lang..

Dear rna:
Wow!!!
Condolences sir, having just come from a mishap myself with a broken tail light, I know how you must feel.
BTW I'm from Fairview myself - here at Don Jose Subd, just above the new PureGold mall.
Hope you can make it to the next EB.
Ronn:
I'm OK with Nov 7 pero lets make it in the Pasig area....
I vote for any place that serves beer... he he he .... 99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, take one down - pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall....
Best Regards,
Dusky Lim

guys, we got two (2) other dates to choose from: Nov 14 (but this is Pacquiao's fight -- lahat nasa bahay siguro at nag-iinumanunless you guys like the EB held in the afternoon) and Nov 21.
i won't be able to make it Nov 07. received a late notification from my cousin. i will be attending a christening. not sure if this will be a whole day affair.![]()
Game ako sa Nov 7 but if wala si ronn pano kaya tyo? si ronn may kilala ng lahat and he is like the glue that sticks us all together. hehe.. okay lang sakin macapagal to give way to the others na malayo but let see kung san mas marami. Let us vote nalang for the next EB for the venue, date, and location nyo so every one can have an idea kung san kayo manggagaling. Mckinley hill is okay din but i dnt think madami na may alam nun..
Rivco votes Nov 7 or 21. Mcdo C5
I'm from pasig kasi. hehehe..
*zner i know what you feel when your dad is using your car. Last night may addition nanaman sa mga tama yung truck. We switched cars the pag uwi naatrasan daw sya ng Jeep. Ang nasabi ko nalang is "dad, ikaw nagsasabi sakin na wag tumutok then ikaw din pla tumutok". Well we can't be angry naman kasi they bought the trucks for us in the first place. I think i saw ur truck sa village na mag kargang bakal. Di ko na kuha complete number. All i can remember is "WAY ---" yung plate number. Phase 2 ako. Sa may likod ng club house. If mapadaan ka ng Maple St. makikita mo truck ko kasi sa labas lang yung nakapark. (kawawa nga kaya lang di kaysa sa garahe) hehehe.
*rna hassle tlga pag nasasabitan ng PUV! wala kang magawa tapos may mga Pulis or traffic enforcer pa na incompetent! Well atleast you kept your cool and di mo sinapak! hahaha! kasi wala ka din talaga mapapala sa mga PUV drivers.
sir, ask ko lang i am planning to convert my manual sterring to power steering since malaki yung clearance ng steering ko eh.. do u have any idea if there's a shop doing conversions particularly for our trucks? thanks po
Im not familiar with Don Jose Subdivision. Going to Litex, is that before or after PureGold? I didn't know that we're near from each other. Probably I've seen your truck already, I just don't know the plates.hehe I live in the subdivision near House of Congress.
Thanks, sir. I'll use my filter for about 10k kms then replace it. I've already remedied it to fit perfectly, might as well use it for the time being.
One thing I've learned, when a PUV hits you, any negotiation is just a waste of time. Either they give you an awfully very small amount to compensate for the damage or nothing at all. But always prepare yourself as they will give you the "scratch head" movement, pitiful look and lots and lots of reasons and sometimes they are very arrogant telling you that it's only small and the repair is cheap. Like that driver who hit our civic. He said it's small. You know that total cost of repairs? About 45k. I wanna find that driver and slap the receipt on his face and tell him how cheap it is and even if he drives his jalopy for a year, there's no way for him to come up with that one unless he does something unlawful or not eat or borrow money from somebody. Good thing there's insurance and our participation is only 2k. I didn't even bother charging that driver anymore coz for sure I'll be spending more if I'll try to ask him to pay for that. And coordinating with the operator is like asking your dog to use your PC.hehe That's why for me, I'll just have it repaired myself. At least the only thing I need to worry is the total cost and not going through the hassles of contacting someone for the payment. Well for private cars, that's a different story. As well as the cops are concerned, they're up to no good.
Just in case you wanna try that place, it's so easy to locate. Coming from C5 Libis, just go straight passing the exit to Market Market/32nd Avenue. Once you see Petron and Jollibee, go to the rightmost lane and prepare to take the McKinley Hill exit. After exiting, just go straight till you see Venice Piazza.
Regarding your truck being hit by a jeepney after being used by your dad, though it's hard to accept, just look at it as a painting or an art.hehe It's hard to accept that another "art work" is added after being used by somebody.hehe Once our car leaves our house, it's already marked so if we don't want it to get damaged, don't use it.hehe
Even if I hit him, it wouldn't do anything. The damage is still there and he still doesn't have money. Unless after hitting him he could pay already. I'll just let karma do its work.hehe
