wasting time and money

Post by SR »

i left home at 7.00am this morning and went on a 5 hour/240 ml round trip for nothing, the tip is , make sure the seller has indeed got what he is advertising and not something you have piles of at home already,steve

Lucky sod. I think your 5 hour trip cost less than my 2 minute one this morning. It should have been a fifteen minute trip to work, but once I hit 50mph the bonnet flipped up and rested on the windscreen. Just got the quote to fix the horrible damage. $640.
Lesson: When working on the engine, always close the bonnet completely, even when you think you're going to come back to work on it. I didn't, forgot about the unlatched bonnet, and drove merrily off the next day. Whammo! Luckily insurance will probably cover it, but doesn't cover you for extreme embarrasment.
