well, i'm currently waiting on the loverly peoples at
Lubemobile to have a look at my car problem.
after some thought and discussion with someone who knows what they're talking about: the words i was looking for were 'ignition' and 'starter' for my earlier post, but i was so stressed and angry i couldn't think, and it looks more likely the ignition is FUBAR. but i won't know that until the mechanic arrives (sooner than first quoted on the phone which is a fabulous bonus and tick for the Lubemobile guys!).
i'll know the damage within an hour or so i'm hoping, and with a $29 Saturday fee (ridiculous but what can you do?) to add on top, i'm REALLY hoping it's a simple problem that can be fixed with a screwdriver and perhaps some gaffer tape. :)
in the mean time, i managed to kill myself at 5:30 this morning simply becasue i couldn't stay awake any longer, and amd almost done with the burning of Act One of night watch. i need to go out and buy some yellow ink or else i'll never get the bloody things finished on time, and hopefully with the mechaninc coming soon, he'll make the car start again and i can then rush out to
JB HI FI and pick up some spare cases because of some last minute orders i scored yesterday!
EDIT: mechanic arrived. ignition switch is stuffed. not sure what the damage is yet, but will know soon. until then, it's costing me abouit $160 just to have the guy look at my car for 45 minutes!
til next....
~Kits~ (i think next time i'll stick to my pushbike, it's a bugger load cheaper to fix cuz i can do it myself!)
