Why Why Why !

Big thanks to the fellow rtoc'er who was at Roade services last night who gave me a push after my starter didn't want to play the game.

That's twice somebody has said "I like your car mate" the bugger has let me down !
From now on if you see my car can you say its a pile of crap, as every time the wife dose it runs sweet as a nut.

hmm , i disagree with the above statement.

When i was parked outside pizza plaza and was walking down form the cash point, my mrs made a joke that it would be funny if another car ploughed into the back of mine whilst it was parked up..

After getting back in the car with a kingsize pizza it refused to start despite checking for all obvious signs and was off the road for a further 5 days trying to source the problem :(.

But I bet you were glad it was just a starting problem rather than it being smshed up !

mine broke on Tuesday night, but that's because I was racing my m8 in his 600 bhp escort Cossie.
A bracket on the gearstick cradle broke meaning gear changes were very difficult. Still got me home tho.
