What a day!!!

I collected my car from the garage a week last Friday, after it had been fitted with a new engine. It had been in the garage for 3 weeks. When I drove it over the weekend I noticed it was pulling to the left hand side and the steering wheel wasn't sitting straight. I booked it back into the garage on the Tuesday and it took them from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm to get it sorted!

Today, with less than 1,000 miles on the clock since the new engine was fitted, the turbo has gone. I have to wait for the next three hours for a low loader to arrive and take me back to the garage in Leeds. The trouble is - I'm in Preston at the moment!!

Don't imagine I will be home much before 5:30 and in a hire car.

Had a great holiday

Well we had a great holiday. Not everything went smoothly of course, it never does. But at least the problems were all fairly small ones. The thing that annoyed me the most was the fact that I lost my new MP3 player on the plane while going on holiday! I had loaded it with tunes and was looking forward to listening to it on the beach. To keep it 'safe' I put it in my camera bag, that way I knew where it was and could use it on the plane if I wanted. As we crossed the south coast the clouds just disappeared and I had a great view of the coast line. I couldn't resist diving into the camera bag and getting a couple of shot through the window. In doing so I must have pulled out the MP3 player as well, never to be seen again!!!!
