Hoping to get my car to the workshop end of this week. Went with a different recovery truck guy. Hopefully this one won't randomly come out with "So are you gay, straight, bi or... ?"!

Haha! Straight, Mr. Craig! The guy started telling me about when his son came out, and that he went into depression for 6 months. Oh yeah great... that's nice... Are we there yet?

Hahah! :P That's quite strange I have to admit. Did both you and your car get home intact?

We did, fortunately! He gave me his card. It's come in handy, as I was trawling eBay for vehicle transport companies, saw one that caught my eye, compared the number on the ad to the one on the card and knew to avoid it!

Are rose joints OK to use for an engine steady or would they fall apart with the vibrations?

-
mark-stranraer

Cool, I'll see if one of my friends has it and get it from them. It's always annoying when the story writers for a show lose the plot a little and the show becomes crap

Do you ever get the feeling when you think enough is enough and its time to get rid?

-
smithyboy
Yep, although I'm determined to get it into a good state, just annoying that the saving of funds for things takes so long :( but one day it will all be worth it ... (so i hear) just got to keep plugging away

Pingu
I guess we still in honeymoon period but I don't think I could I've had so much fun with pingu this year and gone out and meet some great people made some great friends that I would not of met if I did not have this little car. My argument is always the same they don't make them anymore and when your old and wrinkled you would see one on telly and say I had one of those or you can look out your window and see the little old thing sitting in the drive :0)

Ok so daily Fiesta Ecoboost is soon to be joined by an Audi A3 (company car) which means time for the Mini to be taken off the road and get sorted. After Bingley of course.... exciting/expensive times!!

According to the statistics I can find online the Astra should have it. The 1.9 engine is the same as in the Vectra. Its either the 120 or 150bhp version. The audi is only 104bhp and the two weigh about the same.
