Those bitter sweet moments

Postby ozzy72 » Fri Dec 31, 2010 4:43 am

Well the snow has finally departed from our street but I had to come to work today. Hopped in the car and lo the ruddy thing would turn over but wouldn't start!
Raced back into the house and jumped into my leathers. I've had the bike under a cover for the last couple of weeks in the snow. Touched the start button, BRRRRRRMMMMM! Thank goodness I brought Japanese :o 8-) ;D
Heck of a fun ride to work as I was nearly 30 mins behind schedule leaving the house. Got to the office bang on time... might possibly have gone a tiny bit over the speed limit in a couple of places..... [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif]

Smooth Ken? We're talking cashmere codpiece here ;D
The lift pump has failed on the Renault, just hoping I can get it fixed on Tuesday as Mrs. Ozzy needs the car to get to work on Wednesday!

Turn the Renault in for a Nissan!  As American as I am, I have a great love for Nissan products, they seem to last forever!!

As for your story, just make sure to re-attach the battery cables before the Mrs needs to use the car.  I know that trick, "car won't start so I  have to use the toy"    ;)  ;)  ;)
