Actually, she was doing really well till the outskirts of Durham.
Then I broke down 4 times on the M1/A1!

I've been in the back of a policecar, in a towtruck, and a sleeping back sitting in the snow today. :01: :unsure:

Glad you find my trauma funny. :sad1:



Someone punched me in the head at teh Murphys and smashed my specs into 3 bits. I've been driving around with sellotaped nhs style goggles.
Aaaaaand Bo snapped my Reading band off. :dry:

I imagine a lot more hurting, if that's how he relaxes. :blink:


Mine kinda hurts for waiting upto an hour an a half for the swines.
On the cold, dark motorway with no hazards...alone.
Git's didn't even fix the car. :dry:

Whilst the car is a pain, Bo's treatment of the band predictable and the trip the police car no doubt memorable :shifty: the punch in the head is totally out of order. :angry:

Lilmiss

T'was me own fault.
I was in the middle of a moshpit wearing glasses.
A tad silly on my behalf.


I did headbutt someone though. :D

Biggles
03-05-2005, 11:52 PM
:lol:

Moshpits and glasses are not an automatic pairing.

Cars and snow are a pretty crap combination too. I used to hate it in my Mini back in the 70s. The lump in the middle was always higher than my ground clearance :( ended up being teh free bloody snowplough.

The problem with mine is the grill is huge, it lets in to much moisture. The wires in the engine need a good tightning. She went like a crack filled whipped on the way there, she was doing 85mph! :01:

I hate being without my bubba.
She's alone in a car park somewhere right now. :crying:

Lilmiss

Fecking car is stuck in the car park till the moro at the fecking earliest, which means I will probably get a fecking clamp and fee. Also means I have to taxi it to and from fecking work, even though I don't make enough to cover 2 fecking taxi fares a night. My fecking moble is taking a paddy too, so I won't be able to call a taxi home. Ooooh feckit all to hell.


/goes to kick something hard...




feck, feck, feck, feck, feck, ouch, feck, feck.

Bad luck with the car.


It sounds like you would be best with duvet evening - although I am sure your work ethic will get the better of you.

They used to make covers for the inside of the mini grill. It had popper studs and you could roll down flaps in the summer and put them up in the winter. They worked quite well - was in a kind of faux leather with silver poppers so looked quite punk. :) Don't know if you can still get them - it is rolling towards spring so it is a bit late now anyhoo.

:crying: I'm doomed. :sad1:


Can't even get into my mobile to get phone numbers off.
I'm sooo feckered.


I will look into the car flap thing, but isn't the grill there to let hot air out. :unsure:

Errr no .. it is there to let cold air in on the radiator. However, as the radiator is at the side in a Mini, all the grill really does is let the cold and wet straight in on the plugs and distributer cap (not so good really). So the grill is pretty redundant in the winter. In the summer you let the flaps down so the cool air circulates around the engine and radiator.

Lilmiss

Does it not have two uses then?
To let cold air in on the radiator, and to stop the engine from over heating?

I shall look into it anyway, but I suppose I would need to go to a specialist garage for something like that. There's probably not much call for it on other cars.

I also need to get AA breakdown cover, instead of the poxy Direct Line breakdown coverage I have. Anything could have happened to me stuck on the hard shoulder in the dark with no hazards, it's just lucky I know some good, decent people. I didn't pack my pokey stick for the trip either. :no:

Aw Lilmiss....so sorry to hear about your car. :(

I hope she will be ok and you can get her fixed.

As for the mosh-pit...fair play to yer girl, but have you considered contact lenses?

Most mini owners use tin foil on the grill in winter. I also suggest marine grease around the plugs and distributor cap if you are having a moisture problem

The plugs were sprayed with wd40, I have no idea what marine grease but I bet it's kinky. :w00t: Never heard of tin foil being used, sounds logical, though a lil crazy.

Sara, I don't like eye drops, so I doubt contacts would be any good for me.
I shall just remember not to wear glasses next time, and take the punch in the head like a man. :01: :ermm:

wd40 will repel any water that is already on the plugs/leads etc. the marine grease is a grease with thickening additives that make it more able to resist water "washout" and will prevent water from getting inside your distributor cap to begin with

Lilmiss
03-07-2005, 01:37 AM
Oh right.
Does it have another name? I've never heard of the stuff before.

I'm hoping it gets towed to a garage tomorrow, where she will have a good inspection, but I doubt I will have her back before the weekend.


Bo's on his way to Spain tomorrow, btw.
Lucky swine. :dry:

Guillaume

You might want to consider buying a sled and dogs, in case there's some more snow...


Speaking of Bo, where's the picture you promised? (http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showpost.php?p=1007917&postcount=16)

:lol: I was thinking of swiping a powered scooter from work, but maybe those wolves will let me tie them to a skateboard.


And you really think I'd be alive if I had did that? :unsure:


Think it's about my bedtime.
Can't wait to see what mess the office is in tomorrow. :ermm:

I've only messed with my own skin, and possibly the skins of one or two other, select people :ph34r:

But no one near you, as far as I know. :unsure:
