Sodding,Ba****ding,Tw**ing,F***ing Cars!!!!!!!!!!

Why do we bother?

I go out and spend an arm and a leg on a new drive shaft, supplement it with fiiting a new timing belt,tensioner and water pump, new track rod end and as a wee bonus for the car give it new brake discs and pads all round.

You would think it would be happy, but no, it gets all that and then decides it wants a new wheel bearing, anti-roll bar bushes and front stabiliser link bushes as well!

.

Couldn't have decided that when it was all apart getting the drive shaft done could it? NO.

So what next? New diff,gearbox,exhaust,tyres,suspension????

Ungrateful Barsteward that's what it is

You need to find yourself a more grateful vehicle if that's the way it's going to treat you!

I think a John Cleese beats up Austin 1100 moment is coming up!

Wife just informed me there's a nail sticking in one of the rear tyres

Wish whoever has it in for me would give up

Not happy!

But you still love it

Perhaps when you drive it you should remember it's not a company car - treat it with love and care - oh and stop chasing people whilst making beee bor beee bor noises

Thankfully both my work and play cars all make that noise for me, its just one has strobes and sirens and a stinger to play with

Yeeha!

OK, Just make sure you don't stray over the border!

But then I'm sure you are a decent law abiding citizen who always sticks to the speed limits and is a responsible motorist at all times

I wonder if it might be Octy rebellion week...

Ten days after I bought it mine decided to throw itself infront of a substantial stone on the motorway and required a new windscreen. Still, I too now have the work/play balance in my life with a VRS in both so (due to the fact that I am now arriving everywhere with a huge grin on my face) I suppose I can forgive it just this once!

All I have to do now is stop myself getting too "comfortable" in the work cars as the "grown ups" are watching everything on their big screens ready to pounce on anyone having a little too much "fun"

duke of hazzard · 29-06-2007, 14:48
