Everything (not much in that department granted) works as it should, Drives, steers and stops straight, and the engine is a sweet a nut could be.

It knew you know, it did, I'm now convinced of it.
I had openly threatened to scrap it if I couldn't find a purchaser.
It obviously heard me.
Revenge WAS so soo sooooo sweet for it. evil:

Only the previous night, the bastard tailgate catch fell off when I closed it, and driving along locally to blow the cobwebs off, the bastard o/s door mirror glass decided to part company with its housing where it's sat for 20 years and 3 bastard weeks. eeek:

I won't even begin to tell you about the temporary partial closure of the fuel station yesterday morning whilst tanking it up.
Oh yes, the list goes on. Angry9:

5 bloody months I lovingly cared for that heap of shite. Welding, mot'ing, washing polishing, and THIS is the way ot thanked me.

I was very close to tears  sad32: and covered in shite at 12 noon yesterday, crawling around underneath in absolutely vile wet cold conditions on the virtually deserted B4407 short cut mountain pass road off the A5 at Pentrafolis.
The road was officially closed due to resurfacing, but I was told was quite passable if driven with caution.

A similar thing happened to me the day before I was trading in me old 'un for a new 'un. A big hole appeared in the exhaust, the top off a baked beans can, some fuse wire and Gum-Gum sorted it out  :thumbsup:
