Another day another problem, fan died, car overheated, went to garage Tuesday, still not back, friday i was helping a mate out and going for a much needed night out, Saturday i was seing a lass im getting close to, and Sunday was the blackpool run.

...delivery of the new fan.UPS delivery has lost the part, found it, got it to sheffield, forgotten to actually take it out of the van and deliver it, and now has lost it AGAIN! They have found it but now the garage are shut and the car is in bits so cannot be bodged together for the weekend. I do need to go to blackpool :P but my car disagrees it would seem XD Sorry Sam :S

Its a great feeling - until the wife discovers you used the hoover to pick up the bits and dust off the garage floor! (I posted about that one last week! She is speaking to me again now)
