Default My car broke today.

First the AC went, which was marvellous. I felt like I was in an oven. Then it started overheating, and just stopped completely. Luckily I managed to limp to a garage just off SZR after turning the (inoperable) AC off.

Bloody cheap Korean Krap!

You never know. Though brandy makes you randy, and I prefer scotch. Which does something to your crotch.
