Do they do contra deals? You make a statement and they forget about your fine? [:p] Wouldn't that be great. Everyone does contras at work? [B)] Rhys

Picked up my car from the mechanic late yesterday and the tally looks like this:-
* Alt belt as loose as anything (2 fingers under the pulley)
* Battery terminal not bolted on - just sitting there
* Headlights not working (turned out the fuse was out of the socket)
* they broke the lever for the bonnet cable (the one that sits below the dash). Not the cable, but the lever (then the cable broke too). I've got no idea what force they tried to hang off it
That's what happens when they let the apprentice lose on it or a couple of people work on it and everyone thought the 'other guy' attended to 'that'
Aside from that (probably not related to the mechanic) the starter motor died too.

Went to drive up one of my favorite roads today (dayborough to mt. mee) and its washed out in many places with road barriers everywhere. Cowboys still trying to drive and ride fast when the road is clearly not up to it at the moment.

My petrol gauge is playing up, which to me is the worst one to play up.

I didn't think the fuel guage worked in Escorts (it was a factory option). I drive by the trip meter. When it gets to 300km its time to fill up.

Saw this red P-plater chick in the r/h lane on the freeway doing 80km and when i had passed her via the left lane, saw she was on her phone on loudspeaker, then cut straight across 2 lanes due to her almost missing her exit at the last minute! Could have been very ugly, not even a headcheck for the other lane!!!![:(!]

always "red P plater chicks" they are just shocking. ive seen them in little corollas and barinas throwing the cars into roundabout at like 60ish kph, tyres schreeching and everything. saw a red p plater fly towards a round about, thinking she was going to make it in front of a car, then realising she wont, slamming on the brakes, and hitting the car in the rear, causing a small fishtail, and her grill and lights all over the road. was in the car with a green p plater chick (before red P's came out) who was driving about 80-90 in a 60 zone, realised she nearly missed her turn, slammed on the brakes with steering full lock, understeer all the way into a street sign.... no one was hurt, the car just got a facial makeover though lol.... i could keep going all day haha....
