one of those days....

all ready to go to work at 6 in the morning go to start the daily(2000 model astra) and its sounds like its running on 3 cylinders because it happened years ago i know its the coilpack it has giving it in again... so i was lucky enough to drive the escort to work... just over half way to work the rubber exhaust mounts snapped so i could get the exhaust banging on the axle for the last 10min of the drive...leave work head straight to the exhaust shop they replace mounts free of charge decide toget some maccas for lunch and the clutch cable snaps in the drivethrough not a very good place for this to happen. so here i am stuck in the drive through waiting for the cars in front of me to clear out of the way so i can start the car in gear and get to the carpark to have a look. ended up doing the 20 min drive home in 3rd gear after i manage to smash it into another gear luckly green lights all the way.. and just as im about to pull into the drive the car runs out of fuel.
 
i hope everyone else had a better day then me

    That is a rough day, that stuff comes in threes though, all over now and fairly easy fixes. my last run of three included a blown head gasket lol.

    I've had all those things happen - but not at the same time. Its moments like that you just want to ring the wreckers
     

    Some people make things happen, others watch it happen and others wonder what just happened - which one are you?
