We ain't dead yet... but the car is!

Mike, our neighbour, came over this evening and asked if we would like to use his AA membership to diagnose the problem with the good old shyte box.  What a genius idea!  We jumped at the chance, and 30 mins later the AA man was here.

2 minutes after that, he said 'soz mate, but your timing belt has snapped.  He then pointed to the sticker on top of the motor that says 'regularly change your timing belt - failure to do so can be costly!'.  Hmmm.....!

So, knackered motor + freshly WOF'd car = Trade me bargain!  Point your mates to this ad y'all:

Loads more to chat about, but we off to get pizza now to drown our sorrows in lard and red wine.
