Thought this may be a bit of fun

I had this moment of inspiration (er

) when I was about 5 mins from home, heading for a SADMOG meeting in the New Forrest (about 50 miles away) and there had just been a loud BANG! followed by a rattle, clatter, ting, ting, ting.......Yep a spanner had been left under the bonnet somewhere and it had finally throwen itself over the edge.

It is happended before to me, so when I looked in my mirror I was not supprised to see this bright silver thing bouncing down the road behind me.

SO whats your 'Don't you just hate it when...........?'

I just hate it when, after a 'good thrashing' I hear the familiar sound of exhaust gases blowing past the monumentally crap Minor manifold/exhaust seal.

You collect your next car and it plays up / breaks down before you even get home...
(having bought 3 cars this year - It only happened twice

The 3rd one waited a week before breaking down

)

Says something about the cars you are buying Ray!! Freemog hasn't broken down as such it just leaks A LOT of oil, but is still used occasionally! Engine rebuild in the summer

I hate it when youve taken forever to get something put in just right, then find out it all has to come out again as something else has to go in first!!!

just hate it when, after a 'good thrashing' I hear the familiar sound of exhaust gases blowing past the monumentally crap Minor manifold/exhaust seal.

Yeah Im hoping 5th times a charm with that I will get it to stay air tight for more than 2 months!!!
