How much more bad luck?
Lets go through this week -
Monday - Laptop decides its not going to start - just reboot at some point. after a day wrestling with it, I got it stable again. possible HD issues? or is it software?
Tuesday - drive to work in the morn, all fine. drive home, notice a slight sluggishness on acceleration on a slip road. during the trip back, all the main warning lights come on. I manage to limp it home. called the dealer and booked it in for weds morn.
weds - limped the car to the dealer. it produced plumes of smoke and diesel smell, ran very very rough then settled down. picked up arranged courtesy tiny car. said they would call if they got chance to look it over. they called 5pm. car needs a new Manifold. gonna cost 633.00 quid, and could be weeks. so they've arranged a hire car to cover me for it.
friday - take back courtesty car on my day off (working sunday), sigh at the Blue GT-86 in the show room again. go home and wait for Enterprise to come pick me and squirl up and present us with....
urgh.. its a Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 sxi. its small, crappy and meh. if I put my foot down on the clutch in the 'wrong' way, I can feel the steering column moving against my foot! its not nice. and its now my transport for weeks.
So thats my week, on top of everything else, I have a huge bill which I don't need. i've had to tag on a full service too since its close enough to be done. right before Christmas too.
my stress levels have not had chance to go down.
