It never rains but it pours, or so the saying goes. Personally I seem to have the kind of "luck" as a mate of mine once described it:
"You have a lot of small bad luck things, but when it REALLY counts you are always lucky"
Not sure when the "really counts" starts working but if I look at my car troubles lately... First my mate announces he is closing his shop and since I sold my house already in preparation for our trip he is the last person close to me with a hoist that is easily accessible. So guess what? My daily driver throws a CV, my girls daily driver developed brake issues and my range rover well, that is always a work in progress but decided it wanted a LOT of play on the front diff. So now I have less than a week before he starts pulling down his hoists and what not to get all that fixed or I will have to, ewww, start paying someone to do that work for me which just won't do!
Sure, first world problems but I am seeing a pattern here! Is it just me orrrrr?
Cheers,
