    Having a bad day..

    Great. I take a few days of and plan on going to see my mum for the weekend. Before I go I thought I'd check where that fuel leak on the engine is coming from and find the bonjo bolt on #2 injector is missing! A quick call to work revealed we don't have one in stock. Great. Keep calm and carry on.. Heading out of town later, my left hand wing mirror falls off. The whole arm..just drops off! Arse! I turn around and go back to salvage it and find someone has very kindly run over it for me. Thanks. Keep calm and carry on... It's not much fun driving a 130 crew cab with a rear box body with just the driver's side mirror. Later I notice the back end is getting a big vague. So I slow down and plan at stopping in the services a mile or so down the road and check. But before that the rear left tyre gives up desintegrates! (had I run over my own mirror arm and damaged the tyre?) A quick emergency landing sees me laid up on someone's drive, cursing the fact I don't have a jack. Oh well. AA to the rescue!

    I wonder what else is going to break.. Oh, and I had the old style BFG mud terrains on, which you can't get any more. Great.

    AAARRR!!!!

    Ah... I feel better now..

    The mirror was probably broken before it fell off and saved you the bother of trying to undo it.

    Tyre deflated at a safe rate and didn't blowout.

    Time you upgraded your tyres to keep up with the Joneses.

    Yes.. I suppose that I needed to replace that new, longer, mirror arm and large mirror head. (the expensive ones..)

    I would so enjoy spending £900 replacing all 6 tyres. And I'd have to replace all 6 because having odd tyres...well..that's just wrong..isn't it?

    At least I've fixed my heater.
